There is no question that Rockstar’s current GTA formula is bringing in money, but how memorable of an experience does each game really provide? GTA IV has received (almost) universally rave reviews, but ten years from now, how will it be remembered? Some will undoubtedly look back on GTA IV as one of the greatest games they’ve ever played, while others will have only know it as "The one with the shiny Russian guy", much like the fourth entry in another beloved franchise.
