If they can improve from the previous title, consider me impressed. GTA 4 must be one of my favorite games all the time.

In most games these days I can usually find a few things they have done brilliantly and then gazillions of things that just make me rip the hair out of my head. Many modern games these days...I don't know how to put it, but they are just not fun to play. I recently completed the Broken Sword series from 1 to 3, and found in them something that I don't find in many modern titles anymore: they were simply good, smooth experiences and fun. They were games. Not interactive movies, not B-class novels in graphics, and not pieces of art that make all games obsolete but simple, fun and good games that knew when to begin and when to end.

I think that's one of the things that I loved in GTA 4. It just did things right for my liking. The setting, the acting, the story...not any single part of it was a mind blowing "wow!"-experience, but when all of it was combined into a smoothly running package, it became something that I keep going back to again and again.

Looking forward to what they'll come up with the next title.
