Quite like its predecessors, the core gameplay of
GTA IV consists
of giving the player a large, open world environment in which to move
around freely. On foot, the player character can walk, run, jump, climb
over obstacles and swim, as well as use weapons and perform basic
hand-to-hand combat. Players can steal and drive a variety of vehicles,
including automobiles, boats, helicopters, and motorcycles.
Grand Theft Auto IV
takes advantage of Natural Motion's Euphoria engine, which combines
artificial intelligence, bio-mechanics and physics to make open,
non-linear environments that allow players to explore and choose how
they wish to play the game. Although completing most of the storyline
missions are necessary to progress through the game and unlock certain
content and parts of the city, they are not required, as players can
complete them at their own leisure. When not attempting a storyline
mission, players can free-roam, giving them the ability to do
activities. Side missions such as locating and destroying criminals in
the police car database or participating in street races can keep the
player occupied for hours.
It is possible to have many active missions running at one time, as some
missions run over the course of several days and require the player to
wait for further instructions or events. The player can also attempt a
variety of optional side missions.
Grand Theft Auto IV also
contains morality choices at many points throughout the game, which
alter the storyline appropriately depending on the player's choice.
Which of the game's two different endings occurs is determined by one of
these choices.
