In a world where mobile phones are indispensable, the game's mission centers around Niko's phone. Right from the start, Niko receives his cousin's old cellular. The mobile phone is very important in the game as you can call your girlfriends, Roman, every other contacts, (insert cheat codes ) or as a menu for multiplayer mode. Rockstar has managed to do something that very few developers can achieve with a game. Care for in-game characters. When you have a girlfriend, you feel obliged to take her out, go with her to restaurants, darts or anywhere you want to make her happy and get "something" when you take her back home. It seems that Rockstar didn't took the time to create a sex scene with the ladies, although the game features hookers and the word f&%k more you'd want to hear. You can also call Roman and hang out, go play bowling, have a beer or go to a strip club and get a lap dance. You know… manly stuff.

On your cell you will receive message to meet these characters or phone calls to pick them up, or go deliver something. You can choose to answer the phone and proceed with the mission or simply ignore it.

All in all, this turned out to be a good game, with a solid story, that sticks to the franchise, with lots of twists and controversies. Though GTA IV has received a lot of critics about the game being very violent, as they called it "free violence", you need to realize that Grand Theft Auto takes place in an open world where everything is possible and even if in-game you can shoot everyone on the street or choose to beat the hooker with a crowbar because you feel like it, this only mean that the game is very realistic, it doesn't promote violence. If you choose to go that way, fine - but you can choose to play the game without any violence. Note to critics: it's rated "M" for mature for a reason.

If you're a true fan of the franchise, the new GTA will surely satisfy your hunger. If you're not… you might also give it a shot as there is a good reason the game sold 6 million copies just in the first week.
