[G555]Gta 4 Endangered Species

by Adi Moga, Adi

Do you have any idea about the first GTA car? You have no idea, believe me! I had no idea until today, either, I must confess that to you. Why? Well, think about the fact that first Grand Theft Auto was...a movie! Ron Howard's directorial debut was released in 1977, focusing on two lovers who get married in Las Vegas and then run away with her parents' Rolls-Royce so, just for the record, the first GTA car ever was one of those luxury cars, all right? Now, let's move on to the GTA game series, shall we?

About two decades after the movie, DMA Design, now known as Rockstar North created and published Grand Theft Auto, the first game in the series. The three cities in the game are notorious now, since we're talking about Liberty City, Vice City and San Andreas, and the gameplay involves reaching a target score to complete, while only having five lives available. The system requirements of those days were 486 DX4/100Mhz CPU, 16 MB RAM and 1 MB Video RAM.

Talking about the GTA cars, there's not much to say, since the top-down view doesn't leave much room for creativity, but there are plenty of cars, trucks, and even motorcycles to steal and move around with.

While Grand Theft Auto 2, shortly known as GTA2, retained the top-down viewpoint from its predecessor, action is set in an unspecified time, and in a place only referred to as "Anywhere City." The player is Claude Speed, and he has to become the "King of the City," whatever that requires to be done. The cars in this game are much better than before, with the first hookable trailers in GTA appearing, and you can also drive taxis, buses, while the arsenal at your disposal ranges from fists to the deadly rocket launcher. There are some bonus vehicles hidden here and there, and the tank is the most impressive of all! :)

In 2001, things got much more interesting with GTA III, the first 3D title in the series. Here, we get to roam Liberty City, while the violent and sexual content surely was and still is a source of panic and controversy. The game introduced a "drive by shooting mode," along with many other improvements, and was heavily modded, so the number of cars available in GTA III can probably reach a few thousands. Even better, now you can fly!

GTA III was followed by Vice City, GTA: San Andreas and, finally, GTA IV! Each of these games managed to bring something new, give nightmares to parents whose kids played it and, with GTA IV, taking the GTA vehicles to the apogee.

I know I didn't give you any names, but this wasn't the purpose, from the start. GTA cars follow closely the history of the GTA game series, and it's enough to imagine moving from a top-down bidimensional viewpoint to full 3D madness, as you can see by looking at the GTA 4 Cars available all over the Web!

The most poular video game franchise of all-time is Grand Theft Auto. For years, it has redefined what a video game can and should do. It's realistic game play and edgy concept has helped push it to the forefront of the gaming industry. The most recent entry into the franchise is Grand Theft Auto 4.
Grand Theft Auto 4 (or GTA 4) was released in April of 2008 to critical cheer. It is quite possibly the highest-rated video game of all-time. On many popular game sites, like "Game Rankings" it quickly became the highest-rated video game in the market. When it was released, it broke every video game sales record on the books. On the first day that it was in stores it sold 3.6 million units. The first week in stores it made approximately $500 million dollars. This is an shockingfigure by any product's standards, let alone a video game. It has now sold over 10 million copies and it's only been out for a few months. A game with these sales figures is obviously not your average video game. So what exactly makes this game so special? Why would people stand in line to get it on its first day in stores?
There are many reasons that Grand Theft Auto 4 is a video game for the ages. The plot, graphics, involved details, and the expansive world are a few reasons. Everyone likes the game for a different reason. Many people just like being able to do things that they would never be able to do in real life. Where else can you smash a car's window with your elbow and then throw a grenade in the front seat, just to watch it explode? What a way to take out frustration after a bad day! Other people love the absorbing storylines. The main character is named Niko Bellic, an immigrant from Eastern Europe chasing the American dream. When he gets here he realizes that he can make a lot more money if he gets involved with some shady characters. The story progresses one mission at a time and it is completely customizable.
Grand Theft Auto 4 also benefits from several new features that the older versions of the game didn't have. One of the interesting new features is the new "morality choices" that the character is given throughout the game. At certain points during the game you are given the choice to kill or spare someone's life. You'll have to decide whom to kill. The decisions that you make revise the possible endings for your game. A few more features include: being able to browse a fake internet on your computer, using your cell phone for texting and to call other people, and even more realistic crash scenes.
Overall GTA 4 is an incredible game. If you're considering playing it, you should definitely look into using some GTA 4 cheats. These will allow you to do things n the game you normally aren't allowed to do. While you can do a lot without them, you can do so much more with cheats. However you decide to play just make sure to enjoy yourself. GTA 4 truly has something for everyone.
