Gta 4 Playstation3 Walkthrough

Since the launching of the first Grand Theft Auto title, it has continued to reap success with its succeeding games and is recognized as one of the most popular gaming franchises in the industry. With each title released, it is a great leap not only for the franchise, but for video gaming itself. There's no question that GTA is up there when it comes to the Sandbox genre, and those who've played it knows the reason why. 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.

As Liberty City serves as the setting for GTA IV, it needs pointing out that there probably has been no other videogame before that looked this stunning. It should be interesting to know that the city provides a very interactive setting allowing you to have access to whichever part of the city; which is definitely a good thing, considering its intricate details.

But that is just a preview of what GTA IV is really about. It now sports elements that were either brand new, or much improved from past GTA games. Probably one of the best features in GTA IV 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. There is still the free-aim feature, but the new lock-on feature will surely improve your accuracy. 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. By simply pressing R1, you can make your character hug the nearest suitable object. While in this manner, you will be able to effectively take cover from your enemies and it is also best recommended to use this feature when facing multiple enemies. What this new feature does is that you can minimize the any form of damage that can possibly get your character killed. With this new combat system in your arsenal, playing in GTA IV has become a much more rewarding experience.

If this made you excited, hold that for a second because there's still the new in-car combat system. With a great lineup of combat tools at your disposal, it is amazing how this new feature can be utilized to your advantage and yet it is nothing less as effective as your regular on-foot combat. Even when driving a vehicle, you can lock-on your nearest opponent. Or if you want to free-aim out the window while driving, you still can. If before, getting to shoot someone while you're driving proved to be quite a task, this time around everything is so much better. All these features are aimed at continuing with the reputation of GTA over the years, and that is providing good, quality in-game combat.

One important thing that needs to be tackled when talking about GTA IV is the mission structure. With GTA's reputation as a truly one of a kind game, GTA IV has managed to make use of effective elements and incorporated some fresh new twists into it. 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.

While in Liberty City, Roman's phone will be used by Niko and plays a key role in the game. Then, you can use that as your control panel and organizer for anything that needs to be done in the game. But more importantly, your phone enables you to receive messages about oncoming missions, it lets you control Niko's life, as well as gain access to multiplayer features, and many other things that enable you to move forward in the 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. This is another way to increase the level of intensity within the game, now that you can have at most sixteen players playing side by side or competing against one another. But more importantly, GTA IV is raring to knock off such great games like Call of Duty 4 or Rainbow Six Vegas off their reign and soon be named as the king of Multiplayer with a great new game modes addition.
