I have quite a few video game memories that stand out and I want to use this post to document my number 1 video game of all time!
From the first moments, this GTA impressed me. The introduction is superbly staged, and we are on the verge of believing ourselves in a cinematographic work. Under the spell, we patiently wait for the end of this pleasant appetizer to finally take control of Niko Bellic, a man of Slavic origin who left his country to join his cousin Roman in Liberty City. He encouraged him to come and share with him what everyone knows as "the American Dream", the American dream in French. Roaring motorsports cars, shapely girls, villas as tall as they are beautiful and dollars in the millions, no one could ask for better. But within seconds, the player realizes that there is a real-world between dream and reality. Cockroaches, a dismal apartment, and a not so frequentable cousin, the city is not that idyllic.
As much to admit, GTA IV was beautiful. The models are very well made, the environments are very detailed, and generally, everything is fluid, even if the playing field is composed of three huge islands and a fourth relatively smaller. Also, the soundtrack is simply brilliant and that everyone will find happiness there since all the musical styles are represented there.
The developers at Rockstar did an excellent job. GTA IV perfectly meets the expectations of fans of the series and even has the luxury of offering an interesting storyline, and some highly appreciable new features.
Video games have been such a big part of my life ever since I was a child. There are so many different eras to choose from, but GTA IV has a special place in my heart.
Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed this post!
