I've been a player of the GTA series since the first one. Even though the game is violent, it has a kind of uplift tone to it. The radio stations, dialogs, caracters, missions, scenarios, sound, etc., have a humourous touch. Everytime I play the last installement (San Andreas) I get a good laugh (ex: the "Maria" missions).

Another good thing about this series is that each new installment improves on many aspects. GTA IV is no exception, it even has multiplayer.

This is a game made (also) for grownups. It has violence, sex, humour and good playability. No wonder you see "normal" people in line waiting for it I would too, if I had a 360 or a PS3 :\

I find the cheeky humor interesting. It's been a pretty fun game so far and I think the depravity that is "possible" in the game is no more than a lot of 'fantasy' based RPGs that don't get this kind of attention.

Yes, it is an adult game. I wouldn't even play with my kid around. But it's fun and has a real wit that I can certainly relate to.

"...I got a Yoga bill like a M***********."

That line just made me laugh out loud. They make fun of the new age, celebrities and both sides of the political spectrum. It's certainly not a dumb game.

And.. oh yeah, it's a game too. Sometimes the in-game physics aren't the greatest. You bump into people too easily or fall off things. But overall they did a great job at making virtually everything in the game react to you in a somewhat realistic manner.

The sheer number of cutscenes makes it infinitely entertaining although just a little more linear than something like Oblivion. It's well acted and the dialogue is smart yet not too smart, it's realistic.

What I like most about the physics is that when you crash a car into an object at 100 mph you actually go flying out the front windshield!!
