GTA 4 Playstation 3 Help

By: Jon Asslexiaha

Since the first game was released, the success of the Grand Theft Auto series has been one outstanding game after another, and it has proven to be one of the most well-known gaming franchises ever created. Plus, Grand Theft Auto has continued to step up a notch with each title released and redefining what video gaming is about. And for those who was played this game, you can pretty much tell how it has propelled the Sandbox genre as a hit among gamers. The ninth installment off the series, GTA 4 ties together the loose ends of the story that was unveiled in GTA 3. But if you thought you know how the story will unfold, wait till you get to play this game as the series has been known to provide some interesting twists and turns with each game.

A common denominator among every GTA story has been that it is, to a certain extent, highly absorbing and out of this world. However, with this new game, the story leaps off quite differently. With Niko, an ex-soldier who tries to escape from his troubled past, as the main focus of the story, players will join him in his quest to overcome anything that awaits him in the equally grimy Liberty City. Niko does not have trouble fitting in because of his rugged and rough appearance, and here is where all the fun of exploring Liberty City starts. However, GTA differs in the use of the character in that there is more depth into the motives behind the character's actions, which makes playing this game all the more gripping. Characteristic of the previous games off the series are the random acts of violence springing from out of nowhere, but with GTA 4 Niko must accomplish certain tasks and that is the main priority here.

Meanwhile, the vast array of characters that are present in GTA4 has never impacted the whole game and storyline setting as it does in this game. They are the catalysts that move the story forward, especially Niko's actions; hence, you could find yourself in situations where you have to make a decision that will alter how the game turns out in the long run. Forming relationships with other characters in the game is also crucial in helping you progress in this game, and you will definitely have to take a few considerations first before making impulsive moves.

More than the impressive gameplay, Liberty City is the perfect setting for an incredible game like GTA 4 and it just looks impressively stunning. Not only will you have access to various locations within the game, but everything looked like much effort has been rendered in order to achieve such perfection in details.

But that is not all that Grand Theft Auto IV has to offer. It has used the previous GTA games as a launching pad for a much better and improved gameplay system. One feature that probably seen the most improvement in this one is the combat system. There's definitely more excitement into the game with a few very efficient feature that gamers can use to their advantage. Although the free-aim feature might be a great way to practice your shooting skills, the lock-on feature still serves as a welcome addition for a sharper accuracy rate. With this, it is now possible to set your aim on the nearest opponent and fire at them with unwavering accuracy. And by a simple press of the corresponding button, you will see your enemies blasting to pieces. The cover system is also new to this game. You can make your character go behind or take cover from the nearest object by pressing on R1. It is recommended to use this feature when confronted with multiple enemies and you would be able to effectively shield yourself from any possible attack. What this new feature does is that you can minimize the any form of damage that can possibly get your character killed. These new features certainly help to upgrade the level of gaming experience that gamers were already expecting of a Grand Theft Auto game.

If that sounds impressive, then GTA IV's all-new in-car combat system will further heighten the thrill that comes with this game. GTA IV has definitely been made more exciting with this new combat system that promises to be just as effective as on-foot combat and yet a whole lot more exciting. While driving a car, it is now possible for players to lock on the nearest target. It is still possible to free-aim at your enemies through the car's window. If before, getting to shoot someone while you're driving proved to be quite a task, this time around everything is so much better. This additional feature is all designed to not only make your life easier, but experience a more quality combat.

One important thing that needs to be tackled when talking about GTA IV is the mission structure. Because the previous GTA's have been proven, this game carries on the winning formula. So, as you go through this game, you'd have to traverse the entire city in order to accomplish missions for certain characters, with each of these missions offering a unique experience for gamers. And we have to say, the GTA IV missions are definitely the most action-packed and exciting the game has ever seen.

Once you arrive in Liberty City, you will now have Roman's phone. This will serve as your control panel and will be a valuable tool for whatever that needs to be done in the game. Through your phone, you can receive calls or messages for new missions, as well as access the multiplayer features, that will help you advance in this game. Using the phone as a means of control for players on the characters in the game is a smart way to guise the illusion of the players having complete control of the action taking place in the game.

And with that being mentioned, GTA IV also boasts of a new online multiplayer feature. You can have as much as sixteen players competing against each other, which definitely raises the level of intensity within the game. Sooner or later, GTA IV will earn the title of king of Multiplayer because of its tremendous new features that has continued to innovate and redefine gaming as we know it.
