I gave GTA4 a 10/10 and a 0/10 simultaneously. Beautiful and engrossing sandbox, GREAT characters and involving storyline, but the gameplay sucked total ass. Poor duck&cover system, amazingly stupid AI, clunky movement dynamics on foot, but worst of all: Driving a car in GTA4 totally blowed, and it IS supposed to be the most fun part. Vehicles had very poor physics. I sold my GTA4 halfway through just because driving around was too painful.
I thought the vehicle physics in GTA IV were the pinnacle of the series thus far...very crisp and the vehicles actually had suspension The only part about GTA IV I didn't like were the aiming controls, but they were a huge improvement over the previous games. It needs to move to a Uncharted or Gears of War-type control.

Oh, and my wife got me Red Dead today, I am super excited! Gotta get some other stuff done first but I haven't been this excited over a game in a long time.
