Out of all the grandtheft autos i have played, this is the best one. First all my friends asked why there were hookers. I know the reason. In the old grandtheft autos, you would have 100 health. if you banged a hooker you would get 125 heath.in simple terms a health boost. in the new grandtheft autos i think theyre here because its for pleasure. The story line is way better than all of the other ones. it made sense. the cutscenes were actually interesting. The graphics and the realism in this game were astonishing. they blew my mind away. The wepons are realistic and the body armor is also sadley realitic.you cant jump off a huge bulilding and live like the old ones{excluding san andreis}when you jump out a car doing 120 mph down the freeway, dont expect to be stopping shortly.you can die even if you have body armor so watch out! also on xboxlive you can get the ballad of gay tony for about 2,000 xboxlive points. If you have any questons my xbixlive gamertag is Afroman723 or Afroman726. i really cant remeber.

GTA IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony
Detailed breakdown of the four missions we've played
Sep 17, 2009
Approximately the same length as The Lost and Damned, Gay Tony should contain around 20 missions. As part of our hands on with the DLC, we got to play through four – Dropping In, For The Man Who Has Everything, Going Deep and Sexy Time – all crammed to the gills with high-powered new weapons, fresh vehicles and, above all, a sense of riotous abandon that we haven’t really seen from GTA since the latter stages of San Andreas back in 2004. » Read Full Grand Theft Auto IV preview

GTA IV: The Lost and Damned multiplayer revealed
Liberty City's biker underground gets crowded in six new play modes
Feb 12, 2009
With less than a week to go before the long-awaited The Lost and Damned expansion for Grand Theft Auto IV hits Xbox Live, one question remains: what, if anything, will it bring to the multiplayer table? As it turns out, the DLC add-on will bolster its new, 22-mission single-player story with no fewer than six new modes (as well as a few old ones that’ll be spiked with TLAD’s biker flavor), all of which take advantage of Lost and Damned’s improved motorbike physics (read: it’s now much harder to fall off) and gritty new weapons. » Read Full Grand Theft Auto IV preview
GTA IV: How The Lost and Damned makes Niko look soft
The shady side of Liberty City is about to get a whole lot darker
Jan 22, 2009
Within five minutes of our hands-on with GTAIV’s long awaited DLC, The Lost and Damned we’ve already seen a cut-scene where a bloke’s shot in his back in broad daylight, a building gutted with a grenade-launcher for no reason and enough swears to make Chris Rock blush. “We’re going for a grittier theme this time around” we’re told by a Rockstar representative, and they’ve certainly achieved it. » Read Full Grand Theft Auto IV preview

GTA IV - Xbox World 360 UK's take on single-player
How Grand Theft Auto IV works, what it feels like, why it's utterly brilliant...
Apr 17, 2008
GTA IV is a vast game, packed with detail. For every major set-piece, or game-defining mission, there are a thousand tiny things ticking away in the background, begging to be seen or explored. As in previous installments in the series, you could spend your whole time in the universe just moving about - there’s a sense of surrounding; a sense of time and place; a sense that around the next corner there’ll be something else to » Read Full Grand Theft Auto IV preview

Xbox World 360 UK trawls Liberty City for hidden extras
Apr 17, 2008
While cruising the streets of "The LC" there's a lot more going on than just traffic, hookers, and the occasional drive by shooting. Like previous entries in the Grand Theft Auto series, tiny details are everywhere waiting to be discovered. And with GTA IV, the more compact game world allows for far more density of detail than any previous installment. » Read Full Grand Theft Auto IV preview
Grand Theft Auto IV - multiplayer hands-on
16 players. Three perspectives. One city. Five ways to tear it all to pieces
Apr 08, 2008
Tearing aimlessly through the streets of Liberty City, we punch the throttle of our stolen ride to see just how much speed we can squeeze out of a pokey four-door sedan. The commuter car's engine hums as we drift around a corner, and a group of pedestrians wanders into our field of view. Without a second thought, we swerve onto the sidewalk and slam into a middle-aged woman, leaving a blood-splashed dent in our car's hood as the remaining » Read Full Grand Theft Auto IV preview

Thought GTA IV’s multiplayer was just going to be bit of co-op? Think again. We counted ten different modes, including an explosive take on the Deathmatch blueprint, all packed with superb game options. Here are our good friends at Xbox World 360 UK, Tim Weaver and Rob Taylor, and their takes on four of the best game types they played. » Read Full Grand Theft Auto IV preview

By now, you might have had a chance to check out the preview that went up earlier today from our UK counterparts (and if you haven't, you really should), which beautifully describes what it's like to cut loose from structure and dick around freely in the vast, open playground that is Grand Theft Auto IV. The beauty of an open-ended game like GTA IV, however, is that two people can play for two hours and see completely different things, which is » Read Full Grand Theft Auto IV preview
