Fantastic game. Excellent singleplayer, great multiplayer and of course sick as driving and shooting. GTA 4 ROCKS!!!!!!!
You play as Niko Bellic the main protagonist. He's an immigrant from eastern Europe who's come to Liberty city. Niko's cusin Roman told him that he had everything, nice cars, hot women, a luxuary condo when in fact he had squatt and was lying through his e-mails to Niko. So you start off working for various people to get money. These include crooked cops, mob bosses. gansgters and some other random guys. The story takes some twists and turns and is really deep.
The graphics and sound of GTA is surprsingly good. Although not quite as good as other games but still when you factor in that you can do anything at any moment the graphics are extremely good. The testures, lighting and facial expressions are done superbely just like the voice acting. Liberty city looks as good as it sounds. The radio has something for every one and the crowds of Liberty city always have something different to say.
The gameplay in gta has changed dramatically. Sure you still drive and shoot but now there's a cover system similar to gears of war. You can take cover behind anything but they can also be destroyed by gun fire. Most missions require you to drive to particular points in the city and kill everyone there. Its been done but thats not to say its not fun . There are also delivery missions and also a bank job missions which is really entertaining.
Theres also alot of extra stuff to do like police missions from the police computer, car delivery missions, assassination missions, and social activites which you can partake with oyur friends via your sell phone. You can go to a cabaret club or a comedy club. There a re food shops, bars and clibs you can go to. You can play pool, darts and bowling.
Overall GTA 4 is a must play for everyone.
