This game was already published for <strong>Xbox 360<\/strong> and <strong>PlayStation 3<\/strong> in April 29.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I have never played any of the Grand Theft Auto games.  And initially thought this series is similar to <strong>Electronic Arts<\/strong>&#8216; <strong>Need for Speed<\/strong> series.  But I guess not.  As far as I played Grand Theft Auto IV for one hour or so, it looked to me that this game is pretty closely to a 2002 game called <strong>Mafia<\/strong>.

Grand Theft Auto IV&#8217;s system requirements are quite demanding.  With 2 GB of RAM and 256 MB of VRAM, I was only able to play the game with a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels.  And the game requires quite a lot of keys to control.
