Now that the dust has settled, NoobFeed goes back to analyse the game that was lauded by many a reviewer back when it came out: Grand Theft Auto IV. This review provides a sober account of what the strengths and weaknesses of the game's single player campaign were, thus giving an idea of the direction the series will, or rather should head in, in the future.

There can be no doubt that Rockstar has paved a solid way for the next generation of GTA games. At the same time, it has to watch its steps, seeing as the aim for realism could eventually ruin the series. Apart from the large amount of freedom, Grand Theft Auto's biggest merits have always been random humor and zany action, both of which helped spawn much of the controversy that made this series all the more interesting. These merits shouldn't be lost to a persistent will to criticise society, because criticism, in this case, is probably the most effective when it seems unintentional.
