What is Grand Theft Auto 4?

Answer 1

Grand Theft Auto IV is a sandbox-style playing game. It takes place in a fictional parody of New York City called Liberty City. The difference between the earlier Liberty City games are missions, city maps, and car driving. In this game, the driving style is more of real-life. In the previous games, Liberty City looks much differently. There were only 3 boroughs (Portland Island, Staunton Island, and Shoreside Vale). In GTA IV, there are 5 boroughs (Broker=Brooklyn; Dukes=Queens; Bohan=Bronx; Algonquin=Manhattan; Alderney=Part of New Jersey near New York), but there is no Staten Island. You play as a Russian-Yugoslavian named Niko Bellic who escaped the war and boarded a ship to his cousin's (Roman Bellic) hometown. There are many transportations in Liberty City. First is cars. Cars are your main transport in the whole entire GTA series. Government Agensies vehicles appear in every game, too. Rockstar put 2 different police vehicles (Police Patrol=Chevy Impala Police; Police Cruiser=Ford Crown Victoria Police). They also include Firetruck, Airtug (Modified Baggage), Ambulance, FIB Buffalo (Similar to the FBI Cruiser only the agency has changed its name to Federal Investigation Bureau), Anihilator (police Chopper), and more. Another transportation mode is public transit. The Bus (Modified Orion V bus) and Subway (R-32 Cars) are the main public transportation vehicles in the whole entire series. The Subway is the easiest to find with trains arriving if you don't look in the direction that they are arriving from. There are bus depots around Liberty City that have at least 4 buses in each of them. You may see buses riding around the Francis International Airport. There are no airplanes that you can fly but you can go inside the Francis International Airport (JFK Airport) if you are not scared of getting 4 star wanted level. Final mode of transport is getting driven. Roman owns a car service company and his driver (who is pissed that Niko is driving free instead of paying) gives you a ride to your destination. Local taxis also give you a ride if you hold the "get in the car" button (XBOX=Y; PS3=▲). The main airport in all of Liberty Cities is the Francis International Airport located in Dukes. The terminal building is a parody of the Terminal 5 in the JFk Airport while the runway system is a parody of LaGuardia Airport's runway system. The nearest station near the airport is the Francis Internetional Airport Station serviced by the 3 and 8 trains. The train bridge looks just like the JFK Airtrain bridge however it doesn't sound like it.

Like in the other Liberty City, there is a subway system. The system in the older games were much more simpler, however the subway in GTa IV, it is more complex. The subway system consists of 4 lines and 8 trains. Alderney does not have the subway system because it serves as an individual state (Alderney State). When waiting for the train to arrive, always listen for the announcement (The train that's approaching is the [train line] train bound for [train's next stop] station.). The train in the boroughs except Algonquin are elevated while in Algonquin, only 1 stop is elevated and the rest are underground. The train is not free though. The train fare is 1 dollar for initial charge and 1 dollar for each stop (the stop that you boarded the train will not count as on of your stops). The fare is automatically deducted when you leave the train.

Like in San Andreas, there are also local highways, though the cars on them do not go above 15 mph (in San Andreas, the cars go 45 mph on the highways). The highways are not accurate to the New York City (Broker-Dukes Expressway East Side=Belt Parkway; BDE Broker Bridge Side=Unknown; Algonquin-Dukes Expressway West Side=Unknown; ADE FIA Side=JFK Expressway; Union Drive West=West Side Highway; Union Drive East=FDR Drive/Harlem River Drive; Plumbers' Skyway=Pulaski Skyway) though they provide fast rides if you go faster through traffic.

Regaining health can be done in 2 ways. One of the 2 ways are First Aid Kits (similar to Heart circles in older games). Another way is Fast Food Vendors and Restaurants (Burger Shot=Burger King; Cluckin' Bell=Taco Bell). Restaurants are cheaper ($2) and vendors are more expensive ($5). There are at least 2 restaurants in every borough. If there is a vendor that you have not damaged of didn't remebre seeing and there is no cashier, turn the camera around to not face the vendor and wait 2 seconds. Turn the camera and face the vendor and he will be there.

Answer 2

I have played all the GTA games right from the first one in 1997, but I have to say, although I really loved GTA San Andreas and would recommend it, that gta IV is the best game I have every played.

It has quite a dark storyline, and I think that it is rightly marked as an 18+ (Mature) rating. The protagonist, Niko Bellic, is superb, and the witty writing and casting of this game are top notch.

Plenty of great vehicles to drive, helicopters to fly (no fixed wing aircraft or parachutes) and missions that include fighting all manner of gangsters and crooked cops.

If Niko gets wanted stars, he gradually gets chased by cops, then N.O.O.S.E. (like SWAT) and then the FIB(!). Great stuff.
