Launched in 2008, "Grand Theft Auto 4" brought players back to the narrow streets and dimly lit cityscape that is Liberty City — this time in full HD. It proved to be a remarkable leap forward, leveraging Rockstar’s sparkly new RAGE engine for improved physics and graphical fidelity.

Although it raked in multitudes of perfect scores, still sitting at a 98 Metacritic score to date, "GTA 4" lives on as a relatively overrated experience in the minds of most gamers. Shoddy driving, insane (often even otherworldly) physics, and a darker tone all prove to leave some rather disappointed with the first HD iteration of Liberty City.
