Is it worth it playing though? Asking as someone who played all the originals upto San Andreas, when I first checked out IV, it just felt like more of the same and I lost interest.
Main game has a nice, more down to earth storyline compared to any of the other installments. Same with TLaD if I remember correctly. TBoGT was a lot of fun, but more in line with the other GTA games in that it gets a bit too out of hand, particularly with the Yusuf missions.
Game mechanics are nothing special. Think GTA V with a lot less polish.
Well, it looks like shit even for 2008, the gameplay hasn't aged well, it's incredibly annoying when you fail a mission, it's full of bugs, but it has the best story in the series in my opinion, the characters feel very genuine, I don't want to spoil it but it will make you think, plus the brutal critique of american society shines through as much as the other games if not more.
Not really.
