I've personally had a lot of fun with this game. If you enjoy the GTA series, graphically it does not get any better than this on the PC. Unfortunately, I've read quite a few reviews here on Amazon that said the download experience was a bit of a pain. If you'd like to download it directly from Steam after purchasing from Amazon, try this:

1. When you first purchase the game on Amazon, if it prompts you to download it, decline. All you will need from Amazon is the Product Code generated when you purchase the game.
2. I already had an existing Steam account, so if you don't, create one first and download the client software from their site. You will need a Steam account regardless of how you choose to install this product.
3. Go to the "Your Games and Software Library" page of the "My Account" section in your Amazon account.
4. Copy the "Product Code" listed under your game.
5. Open up Steam, and click "Add a Game".
6. Choose "Activate a Product on Steam".
7. You will need to click though a couple of prompts, then will be asked for the Product Code. Paste the code your copied from Amazon in step 4.
8. This game will then be added to your Steam Library, and you can download and play the game.

I've done this for quite a few games over the years and have had no problems whatsoever. Enjoy the game!

This game is wonderful; great story, tight mechanics, nice upgrade to the physics of the GTA universe... but it has Games For Windows Live attached to it which is a horrible experience. Go buy it from Steam and stay clear of this version.

What review? The game doesn't work. Needs to be patched for windows 8. Works fine on 7. I blame Microsoft and their stupid tablet os on non touch devices. Who's bright idea was that?

The game was drastically updated , now it runs more smoothly and with better graphics . I bought it for 5$ so it worth it

Just like the previous titles in the series you can run around aimlessly in the city causing havoc. Don't get me wrong that's fun and all but a friend actually got me into a MOD for the game and that's why I finally broke down and purchased it. The mod is called LCPD:FR and it a complete role reversal from normal GTA. In the mod you play as a police officer instead of some random thug terrorizing the city. You can be dispatched to calls, make traffic stops, issue tickets and even get into high speed pursuits and various other things going on around the city.

I never knew that GTA:IV had such a large mod base and for that I rated it high. I would have most likely given the game a five except it is notorious for crashing often and Windows Live also causes issues on most pc's. One note though if you intend to use this game on Steam you MUST select the Steam version since the standard cd key will not work. Other than that its a great game and worth the price.

I WAITED FOR 6 HOURS TO DOWNLOAD THIS GAME!!! I finally try to use it and all the images are gray !! You see nothing at all. I want my money back

Fun game, everyone else has said all that's needed to be said. Still like Vice City more, but this is definitely more impressive technically.

All you have to do is follow the instructions in the other comments and you'll get it downloading in no time from Steam!

will it is good port the keyboard mouse work on here hehe
need high end pc :P so try nothing lower then 560 gtx ti

GTAs are always a good time pass - new stories, new missions, new cities, new techniques. But, getting an Episodes from Liberty City along with it will be better, though they are entirely independent of each other, but one without the other one is somehow incomplete.
