There are plenty of review sites and publications awarding GTA IV the title of game of the year. Mainly for it being more grown up and gritty than the previous titles in the series. I have yet to find any real gamers out there who have said it was the best thing they have played all year.... I personally found it to be at best boring and at worst aggravating to a controller throwing level (what that says about my emotional control while gaming is for another post)
The game looked great, but when I entered the world what I wanted to do was go out and mess around with the environment. Getting used to the game controls and what you can and cannot do while also experiencing some laugh out loud moments as amazing and crazy stuff happened. After that I would have picked up the story and gotten into the game as a whole.
Instead I was forced into hours and hours of story, with no real chance to, for a better description go on a killing rampage interspersed with huge car chases in fast cars. I couldn't even make it onto the second island until I had played over 20 hours of story, and I lost interest before making it to the final island.
Not a game of the year experience... I would vote for Fallout 3
