GTA IV& Episodes from Liberty City Review(PS3, 360 PC)

Dundee-based game developer Rockstar North's Grand Theft Auto 4 took  the  7th Generation by storm,  the game was highly succesful on all formats, so will this game car-jack its way to Game of the Month? or will it  get busted by the cops along the way?

GTA IV tells the story of an European immigrant, Nikko  Bellic   who just got off  the boat in Liberty City  nin search of the American Dream, but throughout the game Nikko  realises how hard it is to achieve that dream. GTA IV  has two add-on chapters the Lost and Damned which ties into the  story Episodes from Liberty City  contains both add-ons. the accesibility scores are as follows:

Visual 8- accessible but flaws exist

       the game is easy to pick up and play but  the only way of distinguishing objective types is only by colour, so could be a problem for colour-blind gamers  wgo is gonna find  it hard to play through the missions in the game and who is controlling which character in multiplayer.

Audible  10- easy to pick up and play

the game  is very accessible as subtitles can be switched on and off via the options menu, so people with hearing impairments should feel right at home with this game!

Mobility- 10- easy to pick up and play, but not surpassing GTA V

 with the classic layout you use the left analogue stick to  walk around the city,   circle to use  weapons(even your bare hands!) R1 to lock-Onto  enemies, members of the general public,  the fuzz ect. Triangle to "borrow" cars, bikes choppers  and boats X is to  jump or climb while on foot,accelerate while in a vehicle.

Gameplay- 10
great fun and enjoyable to play

with  Rockstar's R.A.G.E(Rockstar Action Game Engine)  the graphics looks gorgeous for a  7th Gen console.and  the amount of multiplayer options available  to you makes this game a blqast to play! but the map is not as large as GTA V  and the multiplayer is not as good

overall 95%

 GTA IV   is a great game,  and the Episodes from Liberty City builds upon the whole gameplay experience  which carjacked Civilization Revolution's  spot of April's Game of the Month Nominees list
