The long-awaited anticipated game is finally here. GRAND THEFT AUTO IV. Grab some popcorn and get ready for a lengthy review. Let's start with the story of the game. The game is about an illegal russian immigrant named Niko Bellic who moves into America after he hears about the AMERICAN DREAM from his cousin Roman. Not long after he arrives does he realize that Roman lied about The American Dream and it's actually the opposite. His cousin owes lots of money to a bunch of gangsters and he is in big trouble and that's where Niko steps in and the crime-suspense-intense action begins. Later in the story, u find out that Niko is at war with a bunch of russian gangsters and with the help of his friends, he will try to achieve victory. He is also looking for a "special someone" and u find out who that is later in the game. All the twisted moments and suspense makes this game a blast. Who dies and who survives? Play the game to find out more about the story. Now, let's move into the open world gameplay. Let me tell u that u can do almost anything u want in this game. From screwing prostitutes to beating up hookers. From falling off the empire state building to getting chased by a bunch of cops. Sorry to tell u but you are not going to see the chainsaw or samurai sword in this game. They cut out the gore from this game so forget about that. There are about 2 strip clubs that u can go to and get wild with the dirty hooker dances and sex. There are restaurents u can go 2 to refill ur health bar. U can also go to a cafe to access the internet from a computer. U can also check ur emails whenever u want. As u get further in the game, the more friends u will make. U also get a cell phone in this game and u can call any of ur contacts anytime in the game. Trust me, u will get lots of contacts. U will also get text messages from ur contacts and u can use the camera on ur cell phone to take pictures of the city or ur targets. U can also access multiplayer from ur cell phone. I will talk about that later. U can also watch TV at ur safehouses. It airs fake shows but they are still darn funny. The cars still have a radio which u can listen to different kinds of stations. U can take helicopter tours or go bowling. U can play pool or darts. Go on the internet and date a girl online and u can go out somewhere with them and get real dirty afterwards if u know wat i mean. U can still pick up prostitutes and screw them and then kill them. Enough of the gameplay. Now let's move to the multiplayer. The poor part of the multiplayer in this game is that its ONLY on XBOX Live. I know, it sucks. So, u guys better get XBOX Live pretty soon. I tried Cops and Crooks, free mode, and deathmatch. Let me tell u that it's almost impossible to survive for at least 5 minutes. There are players everywhere that can just kill u. Cops and Crooks is the funnest mode that i played. Although, my team sucked at driving. Anyway, i won. That's enough of the multiplayer. Let's move into the poor parts of the game. When it's night in the game and ur on a mission, it's really hard to see the doors and where ur frikking target is and where u have to go just like in Bioshock. I found that real annoying. Another one is that they still did not put any checkpoints in the levels except the last level which trust me, if there wasn't, it'll take u a long time to beat. That's pretty much all except the fact that the levels can get really frikkin frustrating. Anyways, the good things about the game is it's a pretty long game and it took me about 35 hours to beat the story mode. For most people, it takes them even 50 hours to beat. So, yeah it's a pretty long game. Finally, rite? so many games have been short this year. The action is really intense and bloody. Niko Bellic is actually the best GTA character. He's the most bad-ass! There are lots of new features in the game. So, u have to check out the game of 2008!
