Will they get you or not.7) Drive up to the Penitentiary. A pretty cool diversion.2) Pick a park or some other spot with lots of pedestrians and walk around spawning Jetmax after Jetmax right on top of people, then collect their cash.Listen to their reactions when the boats just appear out of nowhere and start dropping on their friends. The cops/FIB/SWAT start arriving and you just blow their vehicles up with RPGs. Brucie will hook you up with plenty of racing opps. (I turned off autosave at this point to prevent an unwanted overwrite).
When it gets quiet for a moment, use your cheat to Remove Wanted Level.Then stroll outside, go to the SWAT truck and get in. Then look over the wall to the street below and unload an RPG on an unsuspecting vehicle. If you get tired of RPGing the choppers, take out the M16 and shoot the gunners out instead. Immediately Remove Wanted Level then run around the truck picking up all of the $$$ until you get it all or it begins to disappear. Then the LCPD choppers move in and you crouch down and do a little target practice on them. This is a laugh riot the first time you experience it.Those guards really, really want you BAD.8) While cruising the streets of LC, keep an eye out for Money Trucks. The 2 endings are similar, but still vary enough to warrant playing both ways.My favorite "off the beaten path" things to do in GTA4:1) Drive up to Jimmy Pegorino's house and go past the pool in the back to the covered deck area with the wooden benches.
MY SOLUTION: USE CHEAT CODES.This is one game where I believe gameplay is actually enhanced by liberal use of basic cheat codes. Most of the time the hard code prevents you from doing these type things unless they are actually part of the storyline. Reload your health and go back up to the overpass. That way you can focus on following the storyline and completing chapters or just creating general mayhem wherever Liberty City takes you without being outgunned or driving a beaten up vehicle or spending half your time outrunning the LCPD. This is a surprisingly durable vehicle and you can restore it to new condition every time you restore your health with the cheat. It really does stand alone at the top of the heap.WELL DONE.
I started playing GTA4 after playing Burnout Paradise. This kind of gameplay not only improves the gaming experience, but it also extends the life of the purchase -- A DOUBLE SHOT of getting the best Bang for your video game Buck.The first thing you notice after Niko starts doing "jobs" is how quickly the LCPD cops are all over you and they either take you in or do you in, depending on your level of cooperation. Walk THROUGH the door and climb the ladder. As the cops come in, mow them down with the M16. I did this one night outside of Bernie's apt on both sides of the street. Refill on health and ammo as needed. The cops, FIB and SWAT will swarm you and they are extremely persistent in the airport's restricted area.
Feel like racing. Use your cheats to load up on health and ammo for the RPG/Rocket Launcher. Congratulations. Spawn an Annihilator and see the view from above, maybe dropping in behind the walls of the Penitentiary to visit the inmates. Unfortunately, the only way to lose your "Wanted Level" is to outrun the cops.Like I said before, the vehicle physics make this a pretty frustrating exercise, especially after about the 20th time. Stay alive long enough and you'll actually shoot down ALL of the LCPD choppers.They won't have any more to send after you. Fly to Liberty Island and just when you're hovering near her feet, jump out. You'll see a huge beating heart inside that's held in place by chains.Snap a couple of souvenir photos with the cellphone to show your friends back home.6) Go to the airport and drive into the cargo loading area.
Be careful about catching fire or adjacent vehicles catching fire and exploding on you. And things like this are IN ADDITION TO the primary storyline of the game, which is quite satisfying all by itself.That's PRECISELY the edge that sets GTA4 apart from the rest of the pack. Enter these into your cellphone then use them when needed and you'll absolutely OWN Liberty City and everyone in it.Now near the end of the game, there are 2 different paths you can take.You'll know you're there when confronted with the "Revenge" or "The Deal" decision. Then keep your eyes open.You may see a couple of inmates escaping while the guards start jerking people out of their vehicles and stealing parked vehicles just to PURSUE YOU. Then put your back to the wall facing the front doors.
You can always go to a safehouse and save progress in an open save slot. If done right, you'll land on a square area just below the statue's feet. Cheat codes RULE in GTA4 and once you start using them, you'll never go back.The storyline is well integrated with excellent voice talent and very good cut scenes.You'll always feel like you're right in the middle of the action in this game and will never be left clueless about what's going on around you. Soon, the SWAT team arrives. Back off and hit it with an RPG. Then after completing a couple of other games I'm glad I came back to GTA4 because the programmers really did put a huge amount of thought and effort into creating one of the BEST OPEN SANDBOX type games I've ever played.I like to try things in games that are, say "unconventional". Drive off and Remove Wanted Level. Niko has more one-liners than James Bond.
Reload on health & ammo as needed and keep an eye out for FIB and SWAT as they try to flank you by the swimming pool. Either run one down and block its path or just block it from leaving a red light. FAVORITE CHEAT CODES: 482-555-0100 Restore health, armor & ammo; 486-555-0100 Get a selection of weapons; 486-555-0150 Different selection of weapons; 267-555-0100 Remove wanted level; 468-555-0100 Change weather; 359-555-0100 Spawn an Annihilator; 938-555-0100 Spawn a Jetmax; 625-555-0100 Spawn an NRG-900; 227-555-0100 Spawn an FIB Buffalo; 227-555-0147 Spawn a Turismo. This is a relatively long game which I imagine is dozens of hours longer without taking advantage of the cheat codes. For this reason, I quickly tossed it aside because of the horrible vehicle physics early in the game (like Roman's Taxi). I recommend going to a safehouse and saving the game at this point so you can play it through to the end one way, then come back, reload and play it the other way.
Steal one of the large "push-back" trams (not the smaller luggage train tram) and start cruising around the runway, maybe even driving under a jumbo jet as it taxis on the runway. They seem to appear in bunches mostly at night. It's also why it DESERVES a 5-star rating. Then I crossed the street and ran to the other victims and some of their money respawned. Climb the fence and jump into the speeding cars below. Then I just ran up one side of the street, crossed over to the other side and some of their money respawned. Just key in the cheat codes and learn your way around the cellphone and Liberty City will be your oyster. Either steal a vehicle right in front of the guards or just start driving around on the grass where the guards are watching the inmates.
In GTA4, the interactive environment is so completely OPEN, you can do just about anything you please and get results.And sometimes it's not what you expected. Run around until you find the door that says, "NO HIDDEN CONTENT HERE". I did this repeatedly and money randomly respawned each time. Walk up to someone on the street and box their ears. Shoot RPGs into the vehicles below for some gigantic explosions.5) Steal a chopper from the heli tours pad.
It was so frustrating just to drive a vehicle from point A to B without hitting everything in sight.Fortunately, the driving gets better as you progress through the game. Good fun.These are just some of the examples of what I meant by the open sandbox design of this game.Feel like boxing. Also try stealing the Money Truck and driving to an obscure location to RPG it and collect your booty. This will create a HUGE traffic jam (sometimes on both sides of the highway). You're now the proud owner of a SWAT truck. Park it in the YELLOW parking area outside of one of your safehouses and it will stay there unless a cop arrests someone and uses it to take them in, which I actually caught one doing one time.4) Go to a pedestrian overpass at one of the highways. Weapons are GREAT.Sound effects and explosions are GREAT.Reactions of pedestrians, other drivers and "victims" are frequently priceless.
Feel like flying around Liberty City. But simply spawning a Jetmax on a helpless pedestrian, a cop car or some guy on a chopper is just good times.3) Go inside a Cluckin Bell and blow away the order-taker (it's a BONUS if the employee wearing the chicken head is there.Torch the chicken with a Molitov Cocktail). Once they start coming in, take them down with the M16. I've blown up as many as 7 consecutive Money Trucks when they appear in large numbers. Rockstar Games should be congratulated on the depth and magnitude of this game.
Don't expect too much from the multiplayer but it is def. I could review this game in one sentence if i had to: The best balance of graphics, sound, physics, game-play, and depth of setting and character ever. an exciting look into the future of GTA as an online game. I have never seen such incredible physics, this game truly generates hilarious random scenes. This is by far the most realistic title in the series, a true departure from the arcade style missions and stats of former GTA games.Game is not as re-playable as previous titles but the multiplayer makes up for that. The single player story will rock your world, and if you liked the previous GTA games even a little bit then this will satisfy you. This game is the reason I bought a PS3.
I can say that this game is the best game i played. when I first bought it I got arrested and killed alot because I didn't know how to fight and when i did punch something, it was always by accident.
I watched my friend play san andreas and it was really boring. San andreas was somehow always dimmly lit and it is really hard to aim and shoot.
This is the only Gta gmae that i played but I think it is the best. at first I thought the character graphics were ugly but then later on in the game I got used to it.
Gta has great graphics a a very realistic storyline. the weapons look like the real thing and there are many different cars just waiting for you to jack.
in this game you could actually take money from cash registers and shoot annoying pigeons and cursing fat people. all those people who think this game sucks probalby like some boring game like Yu-gi-oh
i got this for my brother and he said it's really goodaaawesome graphics
Otherwise, I would say save your money. just kidding.
This game doesn't have near the features that San Andreas had. And I am also disappointed that Rockstar didn't go with a new setting/city to start them off on the next-gen systems.
Let me just start by saying that this edition of GTA did not exceed my expectations as anticipated. Until then, there's always Wheelman.
Liberty City has been way overdone, so if your looking for something new in the series, don't invest in this game. Maybe when the next one comes out, Rockstar will actually have some new/original ideas to build on.
The only thing this game boasts is the fact that it is big and open-ended. That is all.
