Grand Theft Auto IV Review: GTA 4 Strip Club & Chase Gameplay

It is almost four years since Rockstar has released a new GTA game and in that time many have come along and had a try, however; none have come close, this is because Grand Theft Auto taps into the spinal cord of pop culture. So far information has been slow on Grand Theft Auto IV and has only trickled out, however we now have all the information we need to a review of this much anticipated game.

One thing that we know and even more so with the new GTA 4 is that the game is no place for kids, so make sure that they are not around when getting down to the action. In the new game you play Niko Bellic who is an Eastern European and has come to Liberty City for a better life. While watching some of the scenes you will notice that the game could hold its own against many movies, this is thanks to a great script and the superb voice acting.

GTA 4 is a lot like the previous Grand Theft Auto games, driving and shooting however; there is one huge difference with the new game the character now has a social life. So if you need to wind down you can play some darts, pool or maybe some bowling, or you can just go for a drink or better still hang out at a strip club.

These could in fact be full fledged games, but these are just another extra in GTA 4. In the game you have main missions as well as sidelines, and the further you get in the game the more aqaintances you meet; however trying to keep them all happy can be very tough. NiKo even gets his own cell phone so you are able to receive mission updates.

The biggest thing that RockStar has made with the new GTA 4 game is the introduction of a multiplayer option, so you are now able to battle it out online with up to 15 other players. In the multiplayer game you have free boundaries so are able to go anywhere in New York City. But the anchor in keeping you involved in the game is to get ammo and also the game time. You can form teams where you have to complete a set of missions another mode is where teams will be cops and the other team robbers.

The single player mode will take a full working week to complete, but it is the customizable multiplayer that will shock people the most. The old GTA series has always come under criticism as the gameplay has always been an after thought; well that is not the case with Grand Theft Auto 4. The whole driving has now changed, while driving the many different vehicles you will notice that they handle differently and do not try to turn very well while braking as the vehicles just don’t like it. If you do get bored with driving miles to your destination, then why not steal a cab and work while you drive to your next mission. There is so much to do in the new game, you can go to an internet café and check your emails or check out your dates on a dating website. If that is not enough you can go on your cell phone and download new wallpapers or ringtones. RockStar seems to get things just right when choosing the perfect soundtrack and GTA IV is no exception. Grand Theft Auto 4 is the sex drugs and rock ‘n’ roll of video games and is the most refined and polished in the whole of the franchise history. Few games deliver on the hype this one does.
