GTA IV adventures

<p><span class="aligncenter">Prelude/GTA:SA</span></p>
<p>When GTA:San Andreas came out I wasn’t expecting to get mostly because of it’s rating, but about 1-2 years ago I picked it up at about ten bucks at my local hastings store and found what GTA really was, an unrealistic graphicly fun adventure that blew me away, I hold this game as my second favorite game of all time, the first being Dues Ex. The reason that I like the game was the story, the cars and openness, and the cool cheats. Just so you know I am going to add kind of spoilers to GTA:SA right here but I presume if you have played GTA:SA if you wanted to. I liked the story in GTA:SA because it followed a character that went back to his friends and into the ‘gang’ lifestyle tried to make it better but some of his friends were betraying the ‘gang’ and he and his brother are forced out of the city. His brother goes to the joint and the corrupt police officers of the game sent CJ to a different city err.. spot. Over the coarse of the game after this point he rises to the ‘top’.</p>
<p><span class="aligncenter">GTA:IV what I hate about it</span></p>
<p>GTA:IV is a whole lot different, at first I didn’t like the game because of its realism and the lack of a plane, jetpack, or even a whole state, and I still hate what happens in the end, and I feel the standard for GTA games has dropped in my option. I liked the mayhem in SA and you felt like you were rising to the top with every mission after leaving the first part of the state with this it feels like your are just trying to survive and the motivation to do missions drooped a little.</p>

<p>I will go through a little bit of the single play, which I don’t think will be spoilers. As well all know Niko Bellic came from an unspecified war-torn Eastern European country, using a cargo ship meets up with Roman who said he had a mansion but you go to an apartment, you’ll soon find yourself in Broker and as always you can’t access the other two islands called Algonquin and Alderney. Similarly to GTA:SA you go into a clothing store and buy clothes. One thing I hate is that you don’t get a gun or a knife early on in the game, I mean sure you could use cheats but that isn’t as fun, instead you get a cell phone. Rockstar has said ‘This game is about relationships’ and you can take girlfriends out on a date, but you could do that in SA the only thing added was friends and choosing where to go before going on the date via a cell phone and the only thing different is that the are guys 'friends' and girls instead of just girlfriends. They added several choices in the game that are supposed to add an emotional impact aka “Not every action is supposed to make you feel happy, You can question it. It’s OK to question it—and play it a different way." The only emotion thing was the end in which somebody dies which upset me because Niko isn't really at the 'top' at the end.<br />

Multiplayer</span></p>
<p>As we all know their are fifteen modes in all, with three co-op modes, Hangmans NOOSE takes the least amount of time, and Deal Breaker taking the most, these modes I wont explain because that would spoil it. The mode that I play the most is Free Mode simply because I hang out with (psn:JohnDeLorean) and find glitches (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyjGp8ELsos ) and do random stuff. I am sure you all know what deathmatch and team deathmatch are, whats cool about these is that it can be all over liberty city or a specific island or spot like the prison. There is mafiya and team mafiya work in which you steal cars, kill targets, and escort targets. There is car jack city (with/without teams) in which you just steal cars and takes them places. Race which is like a normal race that you would see in any racing game, and then there is GTA Race which is that plus weapons. Turf war in which you fight for control of control points, this is a god awful game if there is only 4 people even on the smallest island bohan. My favorite competitive mode has got to be cop ‘n crooks it so much fun, its like the game cops ‘n robbers we played when we were young, but GTA style, you essentially have two groups one is trying to get a vehicle (crooks) and other is tying to kill the boss of the crooks to prevent their escape in all for one or in one for all the cops are all trying to esacape and their are no respawns for everyone.</p>
