GTA4 is awesome. i played it for about twenty minutes last night and for a lack of a better word it's awesome. i haven't played any missions yet, shot anyone, but i killed a bunch of people with Niko's bare hands. he can kick while the other person is standing, and if you hop on top of a car Niko will aim his kicks and punches to the guy on the street. The game starts out with niko and his friend on a boat arriving to Liberty City illegally with Niko knocking on the door and no one answering. it's some guy getting spanked s&m style. The driving is cool, i don't see why some other people were complaining about it. and breaking into cars is another thing rockstar tweaked, if the door is locked niko will simply bust the mirror open, he also has to hotwire it and to do it faster you have to push the LT RT buttons...(on xbox)

the game looks awesome, i wish i had more time to play it...
