Advantages Boat ride and views
Disadvantages Cant go into statue iself and long queues going through security checks
...The Statue of Liberty is definately something you have to see if you go to New York or "Liberty Enlightening the World" which it is also known as. Outside the ticket offices there are people dressed up as the statue of liberty were you can get your photo taken however you will have to pay them a donation which aint much. My sis pretended that he didnt get the photo the first time so e had a few pictures (she definately wanted value for money) lol! Once you pay you have to go through security checks before you get onto the boat over to see the statue. Once on the boat the views from the water were fantastic we got some great photos. What surprised me was that the statue was alot smaller than I had initially thought. Once onto the island where the statue is you can get some great photos of the skyline. You can not actualy go...

Advantages Great story, good controls and clear inventory.
Disadvantages Graphics are now dated
...This game is sort of a R.P.G mixed with a first person shooter andventure game, set in the future, where nano-technology is a rife business.
When I first played this game, I couldn't believe it, the storyline is brilliant, the settings are perfect, and the atmostphere is amazing, I was totally sucked in by it.
The game starts you off in New York, on Liberty Island, which has been taken over by a terrorist group, from there locations take you to Battery Park in New York, Wan Chai market in Hong Kong, Paris, and even Area 51!
The game story has many twists and turns, almost like a movie but you play it, but the game does not feel linear, the choices you make affect how the game unfolds.
As an avid game player, it is one of my top five games of all time, maybe even number one depending on my mood, if I feel like getting knee...

Review of Grand Theft Auto 4 (GTA IV) (PS3) by

taken from ciao.co.uk
Advantages Added features
Disadvantages No planes
...helicopters.
New York City
The game is set in New York (Liberty City) and all the landmarks famous to NY are on there - much better than GTA3. The Empire State Building is obviously there - you can climb up it and jump off if you wish! as well as the Statue of Liberty (called the Statue of Happiness) and Central Park etc. etc. etc. You start of in Broker (equivalent of Brooklyn) and then go through to the other islands (Bohan (Bronx), Algonquin (Manhattan), Dukes (Queens) and Alderney (New Jersey)). Overall, the map is not as big as San Andreas although the detail is a lot greater.
Plot
You are Niko Bellic, a Serbian veteran of the Bosnian war who comes to the USA in search of the American Dream. He starts of living with his cousin and soon realises that the USA is not as wealthy as first anticipated. Niko helps his cousin...
