GTA IV Review (IGN: 10/10)
IGN - April 25, 2008
Submitted by lstormy10 (31) at 3:24PM PST on April 25, 2008
"Grand Theft Auto IV is just as big a leap forward [as GTA III], though perhaps in subtler ways, and sets a new benchmark for open-world games. Everything in GTA IV works in harmony. The story would be nothing without the city; the city gains realism from the physics engine; the physics compliment the improved AI; the AI would make no sense without the new cover system. And on and on. There is no one major weak aspect."

GTA IV GameSpy Review (5/5 for both versions)
GameSpy - April 27, 2008
Submitted by Tyrantt00 (291) at 10:46AM PST on April 27, 2008
"Although its got plenty of excellent features, it's ultimately the storytelling that makes it an instant classic, a game unlike any we've played before. As is the case with many great books and movies, you'll want to know what happens to the characters after the game ends, and one can't help hoping that all of their American Dreams comes true."

CVG Reviews Xbox GTA IV: 9.5/10
CVG - April 27, 2008
Submitted by tyrile (76) at 10:48AM PST on April 27, 2008
As an experience, especially a cinematic one, GTA IV is incredible. Story-wise, Rockstar's usual mix of crime, betrayal and truckloads of piss-taking is at full force in an event-filled plotline. It's easily our favourite narrative since Vice City. This is mostly down to the charismatic and infinitely likeable protagonist. Unlike the silent anti-hero of III, or CJ's custom canvas, Niko Bellic has tons to say and a shady past to uncover.

Whoops sorry I screwed up. GTA:IV sales were over 10m as of August 16th. They did not update guidance yesterday so I'm guessing it's shy of 11m.
Either way, that's a big SKU split for the 360 if Pachter is right with 7m

See here;- http://www.thesimexchange.com/community-comment.php?id=35847
Pachter reckons the 360 SKU has sold 7m. That's a lot higher than I thought. Last I heard from Take 2 was 9.5m? I thought we'd have heard when it got to 10m. That's a massive differential between this and the PS3 version on that basis.

deftangel posted on Grand Theft Auto IV (Xbox 360) at 2:23PM PST on December 8, 2008. RE: GTA IV DLC Price Inadvertently Leaked?See the thread I posted on the PS3 sku. Strauss Zelnick says GTA:IV has a tie ratio of 28pc on the 360 based on NPD data through October. Using that with the hardware LTD gives you 3.25m LTD for the 360 version in the US
For the PS3 version I extrapolated from there to the EU as well. I'm not sure it's as easy to do for the 360 because Europe's a funny market for them, they've got a big market in the UK and on the continent we don't know who's buying it, the super hardcore EU gamers or what. Anyhow, for kicks you can get another 1.96m to add on if you assume a 7m userbase and the same tie ratio bringing the total LTD seeing as Japan is neglible to approx 5.2m
Adding both SKU's together gives you 9.25m or so. Not far off the sort of figures we got out of Take 2.
I think the 360 SKU will have longer legs and get decent boosts from the DLC. Enough to get 9m as TSE currently predicts? I don't know but I don't have a position in this. (I do in the PS3 SKU)

necron101 posted on Grand Theft Auto IV (Xbox 360) at 8:17AM PST on November 29, 2008. Article: GTA IV DLC Price Inadvertently Leaked?Gamestop certainly have a habit of releasing information before it's public knowledge; call it an advertising blooper or their "don't give a shit" attitude, but it seems like they may have done it again ... this time with the upcoming GTA IV DLC. They've recently advertised the GTA IV DLC on their site with a price of $19.99 and although the content won't be sold in disc form, they'll be handing out codes with a double sided poster nonetheless

Houser:
"The story is not directly impacted by decisions you took in the main game," he says. But "tons of details and mysteries from the main story get explained, so it will add a lot of color to the main story."
The new game will let you download more sandbox time. "We feel like we've only scratched the surface in terms of the depth and detail in" GTA IV's mythical Liberty City, says Houser.
GamePro Media features editor Dave Rudden hopes the episode costs $15 or less, but Wedbush Morgan Securities analyst Michael Pachter expects a $20 price and says Rockstar could sell 2 million to 3 million downloads. "I see episodic content as a natural progression of the quality of downloadable content."

vGInfidel posted on Grand Theft Auto IV (Xbox 360) at 12:39PM PST on November 12, 2008. RE: Grand Theft Auto IV Tops in Japan@mommi_khi,
apujanata has said pretty much everything there is to be said, take the advice and learn from it, if you don't and continue in the same vein you will not win many friends around here.
Also dont post it CAPS please, it isn't nice to read. Also proper spelling and grammar goes a long way, if you want people to take time to respond to your post and help you out the least you can do is take the time to proof-read your comments before posting.
Also, generally each forum has its own form of etiquette, and this one is no different, please take the time to understand it before posting in such large volumes.
Follow our advice and you won't go far wrong.
