GTA IV Is Finally Here

Grand Theft Auto IV for the XBOX 360 and Playstation 3 has finally arrived.  Sales records have already been overwhelming for the game with three point six million copies sold on the first day of its release.  Needless to say, people have been waiting for GTA IV for a while.  Game players seem to eat up "shoot 'em up" games with a spoon!

The game starts when you arrive in Liberty City as a guy named Niko Bellic, an immigrant looking to start work.  The citizens of Liberty City seem to be unaware of the crime in the neighborhood.  Niko starts work right away after arriving in Liberty City.  Soon after starting, he discovers that his cousin, Roman, is neck high in gambling debts.  Niko's military training makes him a very important freelance hitman.  You now begin carrying out the missions you're assigned.  One new feature of GTA IV is that sometimes you're presented with options in your mission.  Whatever decision you make results in a different outcome of the game.

PS3 and Xbox 360's graphics for GTA IV are outstanding. A few new options in gameplay make GTV IV really stand out from the rest.  Scaling fences and walls anywhere you can get a grip and walking ledges and hiding behind objects are new features, along with a GPS system to plot routes to avoid police.  A few other cool features like street races are new.  Watching TV, going to comedy shows, and using the computer are new features.  Rockstar North has really outdone itself this time.  So sit back, and let the games begin!
