Grand Theft Auto IV

Matieo10 · 27-04-2008, 11:15 PM

Officially one of the best games of the year for 2008? it has gotten a 9.8/10 score from GT, almost unheard of at the site. Here is the review of the game on the site,

Gametrailers.com - Grand Theft Auto IV - Review HD

The Plot:

"Niko Bellic is Eastern European, between 28 and 32 years of age and has come to Liberty City to pursue the "American Dream". Niko was persuaded to move to Liberty City by his cousin Roman, who claimed in multiple e-mails to Niko that he was living a fabulous life, with a mansion, women, hot tubs and sports cars. Roman's claims turn out to be lies to hide his own failures, however, and in reality he only owns a small taxi business, which he wants Niko to work for.

Roman is the only person Niko knows in Liberty City to begin with, and is one of his major connections in the first part of the game. Niko is a tough character, whereas Roman is friendly. Roman is heavily in debt and a lot of people are after him. He desperately needs Niko's support, hence the reason he deceived Niko into travelling to Liberty City. They are constantly bickering. It is later revealed that one of the reasons Niko, as an ex-soldier, goes to Liberty City, is to track down the man who betrayed his old army unit.

The story features several different possible endings, all of which feature different mission strands depending on which choice the player makes at a certain points in the game."

pegi is for the UK
esrb is for north american games

none of them are more important than each other it's just that GTA IV will be an 18+ in the UK and a M rating in North America

KnightFist · 28-04-2008, 04:23 PM

chris louie II · 28-04-2008, 05:00 PM

Damn I wish I didn't just have a PS2! Argh!

AarontheblueSmurf · 28-04-2008, 06:56 PM

Im aloud to get it

cant wait

EAUK_Adroit · 28-04-2008, 06:57 PM

Not long now, looking forward to playing it.

Matieo10 · 28-04-2008, 07:02 PM

True, tomorrow is the day...the story promises a good 30 hours if playing through all the main story, but this game has an abundance of side quests that just lead and further story much better (like any other GTA).

Multiplayer will be interesting as it includes 12 modes of play (

) and huge parts of Liberty City to play on...it should be well worth it to say the least

AarontheblueSmurf · 28-04-2008, 07:02 PM

your gonna get it Tommrow

Stay at home and wait at the door with you money in your hand :P

Matieo10 · 28-04-2008, 07:07 PM

Champions League is tomorrow aswell

...you guys can play it all day and watch the CL (if you watch Football) at night. I'll have to pick it up at 10am and then CL is on at 12:45pm kick off

.
