Product Description
-------------------
The most anticipated game ever, Grand Theft Auto IV will
revolutionize gaming. You play as Niko Bellic, an Eastern
European immigrant to Liberty City with a murky, violent past.
Hoping to start a new life in a new country, Niko arrives on the
docks and is met by his cousin, Roman. Roman's promises of ready
wealth and easy women turn out to be exaggerations and Niko must
quickly adjust to a hard life. But this is America, and Niko
wants his slice of the American dream. With perseverance and hard
work, he just might grab it.

What does the American Dream mean today?
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, gateway to
the land of rtunity. As they slip 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
dont.
Beginning with the 1997 release of the original Grand Theft Auto,
the GTA series has been one of the most prolific, controversial
and down right entertaining franchises in video games history.
This pedigree of success guarantees that the highly anticipated
eleventh game in the series, Grand Theft Auto IV, will garner at
least as much attention if not more.
Return to Liberty City.
The dream as Niko expected it.

The Plot
Grand Theft Auto IV is a brand new adventure in the GTA universe
following the experiences of Nikolai "Niko" Bellic, a new
immigrant from an undisclosed eastern European country whose
troubled pa st and the persuasion of his cousin Roman have
brought him to the fictional Liberty City. Unfortunately, Nikos
search for the American Dream and a much needed fresh start, hits
an immediate snag when the rags to riches story Roman spun to
pique Niko's interest is exposed as not only a complete
fabrication, but a ploy to enlist Nikos well-known skills as a
tough guy against the ample list of enemies clamouring for
Romans debt-ridden blood.
Because Roman is the only person Niko knows in Liberty City he
begrudgingly accepts his role as Romans protector despite the
deception. 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 as he fights for survival and
later supremacy on the crime ridden streets of Liberty City.
Game Environments
Based on several of the boroughs of New York City and parts of
New Jersey, Liberty City, familiar to players of previous games
in the series, has been entirely redesigned for GTA IV. Players
can expect visible detail down to the weeds growing in the cracks
in the sidewalk, cars and buildings of visibly different ages and
a much greater level if verticality in the buildings and bridges
that they are able to explore as Niko moves through the city
streets. In addition, pedestrians in GTA IV are much more
realistic. No longer simply moving cardboard cut-outs, these NPCs
are intelligent, modern, human representations that laugh, cry,
eat, drink, use cell phones and ATMs, and talking amongst
themselves regardless of Nikos interaction with them.
Gameplay
Historically GTA games have focused heavily on mission-based
play, requiring successful completion of fixed tasks in order for
players to progress through the game, but this has changed to a
great extent in GTA IV. Players will experience an entirely new
and exciting emphasis centred on the blending of on-mission and
off-mission play, resulting not only in an increased sense of
realism, but more interesting and unrestricted gameplay.
Features
Aside from the car jacking and a detailed city environment here
are the new features for GTA IV:
* Improved combat system - Now you can use cover and also a
target lock system, which allows you to take out targets with
greater ease and accuracy. Plus, you can engage in some
hand-to-hand combat if you can't get your hands on a piece quick

in-game cell phone to receive missions via SMS, snap photos, and
ZiT (tag) songs that can be downloaded exclusively on .com/mp3.
* Free time - In between missions you can take advantage of "me"
time. There are gentleman's clubs, comedy clubs, ing alleys,
and bars, which all house unique activities.
* Take a break from the storyline - A variety of side missions
allow you to help run a car service, "borrow" cop cars,
assassinate targets, help solve problems for those on the street,
or take to the air with stunt jumps that are scattered all over
the city.
* Control your own e - Throughout the game choice moments will
arrive causing you to make a decision that will affect
relationships and money. Multiplayer
Give Niko a rest and create your own multiplayer "hero." GTA has
added multiplayer modes allowing you to take your creation out to
play online in competitive, co-op, and free form modes.
Competitive mode has you fighting against the cops, jacking cars,
or racing to finish odd jobs. Co-op challenges you and your
friends with various tasks including Hangman's NOOSE where you
are responsible for escorting a wanted kingpin to a safe
extraction point. Freeform lets you and 15 others lose on Liberty
City. Use this mode to hit up the bar and play virtual darts
versus each other or head out to the streets and set up your own
drag races. If you can dream it, you can do it in Freeform mode.
