NUTS Magazine: More Grand Theft Auto IV Tidbits

The latest issue of a magazine titles NUTS Magazine had a hands-on preview with Rockstar's upcoming Grand Theft Auto IV. Lets get straight to the breakdown, as we always do.

  • Playing as the main character Niko will be like playing in a real life action movie filled with movie-quality explosions and immersive cut scenes.
  • Grand Theft Auto IV will feature 18 radio stations playing a wide range of music from 80s classics to modern day R&B hits.
  • It is said that to get the full experience of the city ambiance, you should take a cab and then convert to “Movie” mode where you will be switched to this cinematic camera angle that catches the city in all its great aspects.
  • Filled with vivacious details, Rockstar has made sure that the player remains on the edge of the seat with many disclosures such as a fire hydrant propelling a two-seater car into the air when ran over.
  • Side games lift Grand Theft Auto IV even further above the competition. There is a quest in the game titled, "Rats with wings" game, where Niko must eliminate Liberty City's pigeon population.
  • Apparently Niko is somewhat of a player as he will continuously get random calls from various females such as a girl named Michelle, who wants to “hook up” with the game’s protagonist. It will be interesting to see where this goes but Rockstar remains closed lips on this one.
  • You will be able to shot your opponents from all angles in the drive-by shooting mode. You will also be able to drop grenades behind you in some missions.
