...This game is of the best games I've ever played! The story is great, completely immersing you in it's twists and turns. The main character, Niko Bellic, is fresh off the boat in Liberty City. he just came here to live the "American Dream" that his cousin said that he was enjoying so much. When he finds his cousin, he soon realizes what his cousin told him about sports cars and penthouses was all bull. As Niko tries to get money and pay his cousin's debts, he delves deeper and deeper into the criminal underworld. Once he's in, he can't get out. About the gameplay... it's absolutely mind-blowing. The new cover system helps keep you alive unlike previous GTA games, whereas there wasn't much cover and the aiming system was awful. In GTA 4, this all changes. Niko can now use almost anything as cover, blind-fire, fire regularly, or just stand and fight. He can break the window of his car and shoot out of it, and this works with boats and motorcycles, too. Speaking of breaking windows, do you remember how you could open a parked car's door and run away with the car? Well, this time around, Niko breaks the window, unlocks the car door from the inside, and hotwires the car. You can still use cheats. But now, they have to be entered on Niko's cell. Niko's cellphone allows you to go on dates, take a friend to lunch,have a heavy, cold mug of beer, and many other things. Yes, you can get drunk, and yes, you can drink and drive. You can customize the cell and you do have a personal life in GTA 4. If you refuse one too many dates with that girlfriend of yours, she's not going to like you and you can't get perks from her or any other friends if you treat others the same way. Perks range from cheaper guns to a gang that follows you around and fights with you. Somehow, the multiplayer is just as good as the campaign. For one, there are 15 different game types that you can play with 15 friends besides yourself. And it's just a blast to run around the city, pick up a helicopter, and fire away at your friends. Or you could make your own gametype during free mode. Oh. and now you can hail taxis. You can also steal taxis, not only from the driver, but the passenger in the back. So, basically, this is more than just a revamped GTA. It is a polished masterpiece with basically no flaws.
