When you think of Grand Theft Auto, you probably think of high speeds, crime and mean thugs. There are plenty of these things in the first games and even more in this new installment of the franchise. Though always controversial, the Grand Theft Auto games have always sold well and gotten many fans. What makes this game so popular?
The game has you cast as an Eastern European war vet looking for the all-American dream. What he finds is quite the reverse. He quickly becomes tangled in a life of gangs and seedy enterprising.
This version of the game offers players the same options in their gameplay as in previous games, such as car racing and third person shooters. You also have more control over your gaming experience in these games rather than some of the other similar games you might have played in the past. This also is the first Grand Theft Auto to offer an online feature with multiple players and more than 14 experiences.
A new addition to the game is the "Morality Choices" which will put you in the position of killing a certain person or not or making you choose between two characters. There are two endings to the game depending on what route you chose to go. The shooting system is also changed in this game so that you can shoot certain areas of your target instead of just randomly hitting them.
Falling can damage your characters health, or when he is shot or stabbed. When he dies in the game, he will be taken to the nearest hospital and given a second chance, but 10% of the money he has will be taken. If he is arrested, all of his weapons will be taken even after he is released.
This is not a game for children and some adults as it is bloody and it is very violent. For the rest of the population, it is a fun game to rent for a weekend or for a short time. I think that I would pass on buying this game for now.
