Grand Theft Auto 4 Review....


Yeah Grand Theft Auto never gets bored even when you’re dead! Erh, I mean sick…. Or something…. Today I’m gonna review about Grand Theft Auto 4 A.K.A GTA 4 and the DLCs….

Gameplay Grand Theft Auto 4:

GTA 4 are awesome! The gameplay, the storyline, the missions…. Everything! GTA 4 is a sandbox-style action adventure, third person shooter game…… You know the GTA’s basic…. Killing people, stealing cars, do some missions, e.t.c….. But GTA 4 is different…. Improved graphic, improved interactions, improved cars, e.t.c….. But they present the all new cover system (All new right?) that gives players less damage during gunfire….. Which kinda interesting….. The weapons are cool….. AK-14, M-16, Hand Grenade and even Rocket Launcher to tear your enemy apart….. The cars, man I love cars! Especially sports car like this!
Isn’t that beautiful? Driving cars is not that difficult…. If you know how to drive….. The missions aren’t so tough….. Just killing people, assassinate VIP, blow some cars up….. But some missions are kinda tough to give players to brush up their skills….. Like chasing people with helicopter, gunfire with many people, driving a truck loaded with explosive….. And some missions gotta wait for days to get further instruction…. Which kinda cool….. If you bored with the primary missions, you can always do some side missions like hunt down the most wanted person in Liberty City or street racing...... The HUD, is kinda okey… coz the upper right is your weapon of choice and your weapon’s ammo and donw left is a minimap and your health with your bullet/fireproof vest...
What makes me love the game is the graphic….. It’s flawless! (If you don’t find and glitches or stuff) The fighting style makes me amaze! Yeah, you don’t have to press the same button again if you in the middle of the fight…. It gives you three options….. Punch, alternative punch and kick….. You can counter attack your enemy which quite awesome….. Once you counter attack and the fight is done…..The gunfire, owh man…..
You can cover and aim down your enemy…. The aiming system is quite awesome….. You can choose from blind fire(From cover), manual aim and auto aim…. From the auto aim you can shoot your enemy from head to toe which is really cool….. Headshot: Dead, Body: Drained half of your enemy’s health, Leg: Drained quarter of your enemy’s health…. So be carefull when you aiming your enemy….. You can also perform a like kills moves or something with using only pistol and certain people…
Like when you done chasing Vlad and you equipped a pistol and when you aiming him, the crosshair will blinking red/blue..... You pull LT(Xbox 360) and you will watch like a cut-scene style which showing that Niko shot Vlad's eye..... It's totally cool! I almost forgot.... You'll get a mobile phone!! Yey! You can call someone to go to a diner or call your girlfriend to ask for a date..... You can prank call the police or call the paramedics if you injured.....
Owh, and you can surf the internet! Some mission will involve surfing internet which is awesome.....

Storyline Grand Theft Auto 4:

The storyline is really quite amazed me..... Grand Theft Auto IV follows the story of Niko Bellic, a veteran of the Bosnian War, who is haunted by the betrayal of his army unit by one of its members leading to the death of all but 3 members. After the war Niko put his skills to use as a smuggler, while trying to track down the traitor. Ten years later, after a smuggling run that goes bad, Niko leaves Eastern Europe[23] to escape the anger of his employer, Ray Bulgarin. Eventually, under persuasion from his cousin Roman, Niko comes to Liberty City, where he hopes to pursue the American Dream as well as Florian Cravic, the man he believes to be the traitor. After his arrival, however, Niko quickly learns that Roman's tales of riches and luxury were lies concealing Roman's struggles with gambling debts and loansharks.
Niko defends Roman from his loansharks several times, eventually killing two Albanian loansharks and running errands for Vlad Glebov, Roman's Russian loanshark. Niko also begins dating Michelle, a friend of Roman's girlfriend Mallorie Bardas. Niko also befriends Jamaican drug and arms dealer "Little" Jacob Hughes and steroid junkie chop shop owner Bruce "Brucie" Kibbutz. After killing Vlad because he had sex with Mallorie, Niko and Roman are kidnapped by members of the Liberty City Bratva, on order of Mikhail Faustin and his associate, Dimitri Rascalov. However Faustin is not angry with Niko for killing Vlad, and instead hires him. Niko completes several jobs for Faustin, quickly learning that Faustin is a sociopath with little concern for consequences. Soon Faustin orders Niko to kill the son of Kenny Petrović, the most powerful man in the Liberty City Bratva. Dimitri tries to negotiate an agreement, but Petrović demands revenge and Dimitri is forced to have Niko assassinate Faustin at his club, the Perestroika. However, when Niko meets with Dimitri to collect on the assassination, Dimitri sells him out to Niko's angry former employer Ray Bulgarin. Niko fights his way through the ambush with the help of Little Jacob but Dimitri and Bulgarin escape.
Immediately afterwards Niko and Roman are forced to escape to Bohan when their Hove Beach apartment and taxi company are destroyed in arson attacks. At this time Roman reveals his plans to propose to his Mallorie. While in Bohan Niko takes jobs for former gangbanger Manny Escuela who wants to become famous by cleaning up the streets of Bohan; drug dealer Elizabeta Torres; Irish mobster Patrick "Packie" McReary; and Trey "Playboy X" Stewart, a successful drug dealer from Algonquin. Niko also becomes an errand boy for both Mafia Capo Ray Boccino and crooked Deputy Police Commissioner Francis McReary, who turns out to be Packie McReary's brother.
However, things go poorly in Bohan as well when one of Elizabeta's drug deals that Niko is working turns out to be a sting and another is busted. Niko's girlfriend Michelle then reveals that she works for a government agency and her job was to keep an eye on Niko. She was responsible for both the sting and the bust on Elizabeta. The LCPD begin to close in on Elizabeta. She becomes paranoid and begins to take large amounts of cocaine. Then Elizabeta kills Manny Escuela and his camera-man, Jay Hamilton, when they confront her about being a drug dealer for their video. Elizabeta then has Niko sell the bodies to a doctor who steals their organs. Soon afterwards Elizabeta is arrested and later sentenced to 300 years. Roman is also kidnapped by Dimitri Rascalov's men because he owes them money because of his gambling addiction. Niko arrives at the warehouse where Roman is being kept and, in a rage, kills all the kidnappers. Roman decides Bohan is no longer safe, and decides to move to Algonquin.
Soon after, Roman buys a penthouse in Algonquin with money he has won gambling. Meanwhile Niko assists Ray Boccino in a conflict diamond deal with Jewish Mafia Capo and diamond dealer Isaac Roth, which goes badly and leads to the diamonds being stolen by Luis Lopez and the money being stolen by Johnny Klebitz. Boccino receives a death threat from Roth, and orders Niko to execute Roth. After killing Roth, Niko becomes angered with Boccino and refuses to work for him anymore. In exchange for Niko's help, Boccino locates Florian Cravic, that man that Niko has been searching for. But when Niko confronts Cravic he discovers that Florian has changed his name to Bernie Crane and become an effeminate homosexual. Niko soon determines that Bernie is not the person responsible for his unit's betrayal, leaving him one remaining suspect: Darko Brevic.
Niko also works for both Playboy X and Playboy's old mentor Dwayne Forge, who have different ideas about how things should be. Niko becomes friends with Forge, saying that he sees some of himself in Forge. After Niko kills Playboy's business partners who own the Triangle Club as a favour for Forge, the relationship between Playboy and Forge becomes so poisonous that each asks Niko to kill the other, leaving Niko a choice between the two. If Niko kills Playboy he does not get paid but receives Playboy's loft and believes he made the right choice in sticking by his friend. If Niko kills Forge he is paid, but Playboy despises him as a cold-blooded hired gun and breaks off the contact with Niko.
While in Algonquin Niko also develops a strong connection with the McReary family, including Packie's older brothers Gerald and Derrick, and their sister Kate, whom he begins dating. Together Niko, Packie, and Derrick, along with "Saint" Michael Keane, rob the Bank of Liberty in Algonquin. After the robbery Derrick spends most of his share on drugs and alcohol, and sends Niko on several jobs to eliminate former partners he believes are informing on him. Soon Francis McReary becomes concerned that Derrick's drug habits and behaviour could stand in his road to becoming commissioner, and tells Niko to kill Derrick. Soon after Derrick calls Niko, paranoid of Francis, asking Niko to kill him. This gives Niko a choice between the two.
Niko also works with Gerry McReary to destroy the relationship between the Ancelotti Crime Family and their Albanian muscle-men and later kidnapping Grace, the daughter of the Don of the Ancelloti Family, in exchange for a ransom of the conflict diamonds stolen by Luis Lopez during Ray Boccino's deal with the Jewish Mafia.
Niko also does work for the Pegorinno family in Alderney, mainly with Capo Phil Bell and later for Don Jimmy Pegorino who is trying to gain a seat on the Commission by weakening the other families. This leads to a war between the Pegorinno, Pavano, and Ancellotti Crime Families. Eventually, after working for Pegorino several times, Niko is sent to kill Ray Boccino because Pegorinno is convinced Boccino is an informant.
Towards the conclusion of the storyline, a shadowy government agency (under the name of "U.L. Paper") that had forced Niko to help them in collusion with the dying mobster Jon Gravelli, locates Darko Brevic in Bucharest and arranges to have him brought to Liberty City as a final reward. Niko confronts Darko, who has become a drug-addicted wreck, and learns that Darko betrayed the group for $1,000 dollars to supply his drug habits. The player is then left with the option of either executing Darko or sparing his life. Having dealt with his past, Niko is summoned by Pegorino, who demands of him one final favour; to help with an extremely lucrative heroin deal in collusion with Dimitri Rascalov. The story features two possible endings depending on the choice made by the player at this point in the game. In both endings Niko sees Pegorino as an enemy for allying so closely with Dimitri, and both antagonists die in nearly identical battles. The major difference in each ending is that either Roman Bellic or Kate McReary dies (they each advise Niko towards a different decision, and ironically, the one Niko takes advice from is the one to die).
If the player chooses to exact Revenge, Niko ambushes Dimitri on the ship Platypus while he is supervising the shipment of heroin. Niko begins an assault on the ship, climaxing in a gunfight within the cargo hold of the ship. After killing all of Dimitri's men and running Dimitri out of ammunition, Niko shoots Dimitri in both legs forcing him to the floor then finishes him with a headshot. In the aftermath, Roman and Mallorie's wedding takes place and Jimmy Pegorino, furious after Niko's betrayal, commits a drive-by outside the church killing Niko's love interest, Kate McReary. However, now that Pegorino has angered both Niko and the Five Mafia families, the entire underground of Liberty City wants him dead and he goes into hiding. Niko, Roman and Little Jacob track down and follow some of Pegorino's men, who lead them to an abandoned casino in Alderney. Niko attempts to kill Pegorino, but he escapes via boat to Happiness Island. Niko, Roman, and Jacob pursue in a helicopter until both the helicopter and the boat crash on Happiness Island. Niko chases and corners Pegorino in the shadow of the Statue of Happiness. After a gunfight, Niko fatally wounds Pegorinno and as he is dying taunts him by telling him that the Commission thought he was a "fat fucking joke". When Niko's back is turned, Pegorino raises his gun once more, but Niko snaps back and fires a single round into Pegorino's forehead leaving him dead at the foot of the Statue of Happiness before lamenting on the supposed "American Dream" to Roman and Jacob. After the end credits, Roman reveals to Niko in a phone call that he and Mallorie are expecting a child and if it is a girl, they will name it Kate.
If the player chooses to strike a Deal, Niko meets Phil Bell at the docks to take the money from the buyers once Dimitri delivers the heroin to another location. However Dimitri does not deliver the heroin and Niko and Phil are forced to fight to escape, but retrieve the drug money regardless. Niko then receives a congratulatory call from Pegorino who has now allied himself with Dimitri. Kate McReary, however, who was against making the deal, is disappointed with Niko and refuses to attend Roman and Mallorie's wedding. The wedding takes place where an assassin is sent by Dimitri to kill Niko, but kills Roman with a stray bullet as Niko disarms him. Niko then savagely murders the assassin. A devastated and vengeful Niko teams up with Little Jacob and together they follow some of Pegorino's men to an abandoned casino in Alderney where Dimitri and Pegorino are hiding. Inside the casino, Dimitri betrays and kills Pegorino before escaping to Happiness Island via helicopter. Niko and Little Jacob pursue, and Niko kills Dimitri in the shadow of the Statue of Happiness. The story ends with a parting shot of the Statue of Happiness, with Niko concerned for the well-being of his soul. After the end credits, Mallorie reveals to Niko in a phone call that she is pregnant with Roman's child, who Niko promises "will never have to worry about anything". (Got it from Wikipedia... ^0^)
