• This page contains a large collection of previews for the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto IV. Grand Theft Auto IV is the ninth title in the long-running Grand Theft Auto series. The game is set in a redesigned Liberty City, based on four of the boroughs of New York City and parts of New Jersey. While smaller in area than the previous San Andreas, the newly designed Liberty City is far more detailed and the largest individual city in the Grand Theft Auto series.

• Gameplay

  Core gameplay primarily consists of elements of a third-person shooter and a driving game. The main character is capable of walking, running, swimming, climbing and jumping, as well as utilizing weapons and engaging in basic hand to hand combat. A variety of vehicles are available, including automobiles, boats, helicopters, and motorcycles. When not following the storyline to do some free roaming exploration, keep in mind that wreaking havoc will attract undesired and potentially lethal attention from the authorities. The strength of the response correlates to the severity of the chaos. Police address "minor" infractions within the game such as attacking people, pointing guns, stealing cars, killing a small number of people, etc. However, higher level infractions are addressed by SWAT teams, the FBI, and the military.
