Poor Niko: Looking at Grand Theft Auto 4

by Herbert Reich

When you are in a place where you want to cause some mayhem, but don’t really feel like breaking any laws or alarming any relatives or loved ones, you will find that one of your best bets is going to be Grand Theft Auto IV, traditionally known as GTA 4. Much like the previous games in the series, this game is a third person shooter crossed with a driving game. The style of game play can be as structured or as unstructured as you like; the lack of linear game play necessary can make it a great choice when you just want to unwind, relax, and not worry about a specific goal

The plot is built around the character Niko Bellic, he just came hear from Europe and was soldier in the army during the Bosnian War. Apparently Niko is interested in a fresh start with some new faces and family. However there is always that one black sheep who will get you in trouble. Roman is that kind of family member and Niko quickly becomes entangled in his affairs. Roman is in a lot trouble with some ugly people, seems he likes to spend more money than he has. While Niko tries to help Roman sort out his seedy life he is on the prowl to find the man who betrayed his unit back in Bosnia. As missions are completed and new allegiances are formed Niko gets closer to the truth of what went down over there. The way you play and decisions made will greatly affect how the game turns out.

If you are looking at GTA 4, you will find that there are plenty of great benefits that recommend it. In the first place, you will find that you can take your pick between taking on storyline missions that allow you to unlock certain functions and certain aspects of the game, or you can simply roam the game enjoying the environment and the free-form actions that you can take. While there are consequences to both actions, you will find that this choice is one that is greatly enjoyed by fans of the game. You will also be able to take on several missions at once.

Much to the despair of some parents who have waited in extremely long lines to get an installment of this game, the game is quite popular and with all the possibilities it is easy to see why. The creators put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into making this game especially the shooter part. You can glide to a cover spot, free aim and have a blast. The targeting system is also sweet as you can now target specific body parts better, great for those one shot one kill maneuvers. Maybe the best part is the degree to which the police will drill down on you will vary according to crime and location.

Want to play a great new game? GTA-4 is the hottest thing going! The storyline is fantastic with great missions to back it up, and if you get into trouble and can not get out on your own, don’t forget about the GTA-4 cheats and walkthroughs, whatever you need its out there.
