X Box 360 Games Review: Grand Theft Auto 4

Grand Theft Auto 4 (GTA4) is one of the most highly anticipated X Box 360 games of this year. The game is the latest installment in the wildly popular Grand Theft Auto series.

So far, critics have not expressed much enthusiasm for the Xbox version of GTA4. Apparently, the game's only redeeming virtue is its excellent graphics.

Several game reviewers have criticized the game for its overzealous attempts at realism. Critics claim that the game tries so hard to be realistic that it ends up being laughable.

The main character, Niko Bellic, is allegedly remorseful of his killing spree in an Eastern European war, but in GTA4, he goes on missions where he kills dozens of people. Niko's contradictory behavior weakens the plot and realism of the game.
