It's worth every single penny and is better than GTA 5 in some ways. Much darker tone and mature story, better ragdoll physics, greater emphasis on realism, I could go on and on.

The PC version of this game is infamously known as one of the worst optimized ports of all time, right behind Saints Row 2 and Batman: Arkham Knight. Though, I was able to solve my performance issues by using this:

(Just copy d3d9.dll and dxgi.dll from the x32 folder into the folder that contains GTAIV.exe)

GTA 4 and it's single-player DLCs are classic Rockstar Games masterpieces and I definitely recommend it to anyone who hasn't (somehow) played them yet.
