Leading up to the release of GTA IV, Rockstar were very secretive about the content of the game. The only official information released was the four [[/Trailers|trailers]] and some 'teaser' updates to the GTA IV websites. Due to this, many fans attempted to extract and leak game information from various sources, which resulted in everything from maps to copies of the game being leaked onto the Internet. | Leading up to the release of GTA IV, Rockstar were very secretive about the content of the game.

Right before release of the game on April 29th, reviews began popping up on numerous websites and magazines. Rockstar unusually insisted that the gameplay happened whilst supervised in a hotel room, rather than sending out copies of the game to reviewers. Earlier occurrences of this involved a Rockstar employee playing the game to demonstrate it to reporters, without the press being able to play it themselves. All of them were very positive, with the majority of the press giving out a score of 10/10. Examples of this are from 2 of the internet's most well-known websites, Gamespot and IGN who both gave that perfect score. | Right before release of the game on April 29th, reviews began popping up on numerous websites and magazines.
