Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3):
GTA IV reinvents the series with a renewed version of Liberty City detailed to the last pothole and rooftop vent. There are now four boroughs to explore plus extra areas outside of Liberty City proper. With the ability to climb obstacles, drive cars, pilot boats and helicopters, the world of GTA, or Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3) is more accessible than ever before.
Features:
The Plot -What does the American Dream mean today?
Grand Theft Auto IV is a brand new adventure in the GTA universe following the experiences of Nikolai “Niko” Bellic, an immigrant who comes from an undisclosed EU Nation.
For Niko Bellic, fresh off the boat from Europe, it is the hope he can escape his past. For his cousin, Roman, it is the vision that together they can find fortune in Liberty City(see Game Environments), gateway to the land of opportunity.
Niko’s troubled past, and the persuasion of his cousin, Roman, have brought him to Liberty City . Unfortunately, Niko’s search for the American Dream, and a much needed fresh start, hits an immediate snag when the “rags to riches” story spun to pique Niko’s interest by the scheming Roman is exposed, not only as a complete fabrication, but also as a ploy to enlist Niko’s well-known skills as a tough guy, to battle against the ample enemies clamoring for cousin Roman’s debt-ridden blood.
As the duo slip deep into debt, and are dragged into a criminal underworld by a series of shysters, thieves and sociopaths, they discover that the reality is very different from the dream in a city that worships money and status, and is heaven for those who have them and a living nightmare for those who don’t.
Despite the deception, and because Roman is the only person Niko knows in Liberty City, Niko begrudgingly accepts his role as Roman’s protector. But as time goes on Niko comes into his own, and his experience on the wrong side of the tracks proves more valuable than he could have ever imagined. He attains knowledge and experience untold, as he fights for survival (and later, supremacy) on the crime- riddled streets of Liberty City.
Game Environments - Based on the infamous Five Boroughs Area, Liberty City is a familiar site to players of previous games within the series. for GTA IV, Liberty City has been entirely redesigned.
Players can expect visible detail, right down to the weeds growing up in the sidewalk, a broader array cars and buildings of visibly different ages and a much greater level of verticality in the buildings and bridges, meaning that you are able to explore them in depth, as Niko moves through the city streets.
In addition, pedestrians in GTA IV are much more life-like. No more moving static cardboard cutouts, these NPCs are intelligent, modern, anthropomorphic representations that laugh, cry, eat, drink, use cell phones and communicate amongst themselves, regardless of Niko’s interactions.
Gameplay - Historically GTA games are focused heavily on mission-based play, meaning the requiring of successful completion of fixed tasks, in order for players to progress through the game.
This has changed to a great extent in GTA IV. Players experience an entirely new and thrilling emphasis centered in a mix of both on-mission and off-mission play. Not only does this result in an increased sense of realism, but infinitely more interesting and unrestricted gameplay.
