Throughout years, Rockstar has always been finding ways to amaze us with what they can do. It's hard to believe what the studio has become and what it was 12 years ago. Race 'n' Chase was the first GTA game (before Rockstar decided to change its name into Grand Theft Auto). Grand Theft Auto IV was a long awaited game, and the wait has definitely paid out.
PRESENTATION
You play as an Eastern-European called Niko Bellic (pronounced as Belich in Serbian/Bosnian/Macedonian/Russian) who came to the US in search for the famous phrase 'the American dream'. His cousin Roman convinces him that he has a mansion in Liberty City, and that he has girls on fast dial on his cell phone. Niko arrives in Liberty City, and soon enough he realizes he has to work hard again if he wants to accomplish something. Rockstar has done an outstanding job in showing us the modern day America of 2008. People, literally, killing each other over a few diamonds (particularly, the entire story is based on a pair of diamonds worth 2 million dollars). I really started to feel with the characters as Rockstar put their characteristics together in a very neat way. Niko's world falling apart in the middle of the story made me feel like the campaign was about to end, but it soon turned out that there was much more to come. I spent about 14 hours in the campaign and much, much more in the multiplayer. I found myself using all of the weapons as i found every single one of them pretty useful in certain situations. The menus are pretty easy to navigate, and you can access a multiplayer game via your cell phone!
GRAPHICS
The brand new RAGE engine is pretty awesome, and has brought us ragdolls, shaders and beautiful graphics with it. It's a revolution that will never be forgotten.
MULTIPLAYER
After the long and exciting campaign, i simply had to try out the multiplayer... And i fell in love with it. I mostly played Free roam, a bit of team deathmatch so i could level up and get more clothes for my character (character customization is pretty much limited, you cannot really change shapes of the face etc. just the type of face). Starting weapons could be bought with money earned in Cops 'n' Robbers or TDM or DM etc.
THE VERDICT
Grand Theft Auto IV was the game of the last decade, now it's GTA V's turn to take over the king's chair its predecessor had till September 17th. I give this revolutionary project a clear 10. For more reviews, check out my blog. Laters.
