and successful one. Read on!


Grand Theft Auto IV, like all prior GTA games, has you living a life of crime. There's

really no avoiding it. Some crimes are considered so minor in Liberty City (like

running red lights) that you won't get in trouble for those. In fact, you can get away

with just about anything that doesn't involve rampant killing (especially with

firearms, which tend to draw cops' attention).


But there are many crimes in GTAIV that are necessary and much more difficult to get

away with. Main character Niko Bellic, a dangerous ex-soldier from Eastern Europe, has

committed his fair share of crimes back in his homeland. But when he comes to America,

a whole new group of crimes become necessary to commit just to guarantee his day-to-day

survival. This is when the nitty-gritty of GTAIV truly comes into play.

Grand Theft Auto IV Basics
Stealing cars is a fundamental aspect of the game (you know, hence the name of the
game). However, there are smart and not-so-smart ways to boost cars, and it's important
that you keep the proper methods in your head as you play. Generally, you'll want to,

at all costs, avoid cops. That means that if a cop is in your vicinity, you'll want to

wait for the cop to leave before stealing a car. Stealing cars around a cop will

automatically draw attention to yourself. Also, preference should be given to stealing

parked, abandoned cars as opposed to manned cars. This avoids the chance that you

commit any more crimes as you steal the car, which will generally not be desirable.

Breaking a window and hotwiring a car is easier than stealing a manned car and killing

the driver in the process, after all.

02 Be Healthy
Niko won't heal himself, so if you take damage during a mission, that damage will stay
with you indefinitely until you do something about. The easiest way to cure what ails
Niko is to feed him something. Find a hotdog vendor on the streets, or head to a fast
food joint or a restaurant. At these places, you can find various foods that will heal
Niko. By following a regimen of eating regularly, you'll allow Niko to stay at his
healthiest for the duration of the game.

03 Use Armor
Armor allows you to effectively double the amount of damage you can take from
firearms. And since damage in the game will be mostly dealt with firearms, it's
incredibly important that you wear armor when it becomes available to you. You can
buy it for a pretty penny at some shady establishments throughout Liberty City, but
you're better off finding it at random locations in the city and revisiting those

locales as you need to re-up on spent armor.

04 Stay Strapped
Staying equipped with weapons at all times will increase your likelihood of survival
tenfold. It's important to try to have a variety of weapons at your disposal, too, so

you can approach situations from various angles. For instance, having a baseball bat,

pistol, uzi and shotgun will allow you to kill enemies in all sorts of useful ways,

from the monotony of a melee attack to the pleasure of a multiple-kill shotgun blast.

Remember that if you're arrested, you'll lose your weapons, but they're easy enough to

replace. You can use earned cash to buy them, or better yet, collect weapons from

downed enemies.
