Overview:
In the fourth installment of the Grand Theft Auto series, players take control of Nikolai "Niko" Bellic, an Eastern European man who has come to Liberty City, to pursue his own version of the "American Dream". He soon meets up with his cousin Roman who is already living in Liberty City and is greeted with a surprise. Roman has lied to Niko about his situation, claiming he is incredibley wealthy, when in reality he is struggling to get by with only a small taxi business. He had planned for Niko to work for him, but Niko has other plans. He is determined to become rich, and doesn't let anything stand in his way.

Grand Theft Auto IV features all new revamped visuals and gamplay. Load screens have been cut, graphics have been greatly improved and the physics have been re-done. Rockstar has put a focus on improving gameplay by adding details and making for a more realistic experience.
  • Cars now need to be hot-wired.
  • Vehicles have GPS systems.
  • Police vehicles have fully working computer systems with searchable criminal databases.
  • AI has also been highly improved; both pedestrians, characters and police officers act more like real people.
  • The gunfight system has been completely reworked and now features a working cover system.

Another major change is the addition of an online multiplayer mode. Not much is known about it, but it has been stated that it is not an MMO, but will possibly feature open-ended gameplay and exploring as well as classic deathmatch style games and team deathmatch games called 'Cops 'n' robbers'.

The best GTA yet

This game is the best GTA game we've seen so far. The graphics are amazing, the sound is equally impressive and the story is miles better than anything in the past. Everything about the gameplay has been made better, and there are minimal bugs this time around. The shooting and driving are WAY better than before and everything is so much more in-depth now. The missions are great too. This is the most enjoyment I've ever gotten out of a game, I must say.

10/10, easily.
