GTA 5 campaign. History of the Grand Theft AUTO series. thanks for the help

Methods of investment on the stock exchange / stock market in GTA 5. In this article, we describe in detail the methods of investing funds in the stock market using the acquisition and sale of shares in GTA 5. To begin with, you need to know that there are two types of stock in the world of games. Markets: LCN (The Liberty City National) and Bawsaq.

The Liberty City National is a stock exchange that is intended for a single game. At the prices of its shares affects the exclusively occurring in the plot campaign of GTA 5 and from your own actions. BawSAQ Exchange is designed exclusively for the Network Aspect of GTA 5. On the stock prices on this exchange already affects the Rockstar Games itself and the actions that players in the virtual world of Los Santos are already affected.

Of the above, it is quite obvious truth - the LCN Exchange will work even without a network connection, and there is no BawSAQ, since that is tied to the Rockstar Games network. To access the Console on the PS3 console, you just need to connect to a free account. Cases on the Xbox 360 in the same way and you will not need to acquire the "Gold Subscription". On the consoles of the current generation, access to stock markets can also be obtained, as well as on the past generation.

The greatest amount of cash in the account

The greatest amount of cash in the account in GTA 5 can reach the amount of $ 2,147,483,647. This figure has a small feature, since it represents the maximum value of a 32-bit value.

Money Earnings Investments through Leicester Mission

Now we describe you a way to get rich greatly, after fulfilling the lester missions and invest your money into certain shares. Everything is extremely simple. Below you can find a description of your actions, stock shares and some other useful numbers.

First Leicester Mission: Murder - Hotel

The first steps on enrichment begin with a mission called "Murder - Hotel"in which we take control of Franklin. Before you begin to perform this task, there are two conditions: on the account of each of the triple there should be a decent amount of cash and you will need to buy Bettapharmaceuticals shares in the online stock exchange Bawsaq. on all this money. As soon as these conditions, run the mission.

So, you ended the mission. Now you need to wait four gaming days. For this you can simply save the twelve times in a row. As a result, the price of purchased shares Bettapharmaceuticals. Rises on 81,5% . Sell \u200b\u200bshares and take your money.

It is necessary to understand that your income from this game on the stock exchange will depend on your cash in the bank account at the moment. That is, you can make money on buying / selling millions of dollars.

Second leather mission: murder - 4 goals

The next mission from the leter will be available for execution at the moment as you finish with the fulfillment of the first, which is obvious, of course. As in the previous paragraph, collect all the money from the top three of the main characters and invest them in stock Debonaire Cigarettes. on the exchange LCN (THE LIBERTY CITY NATIONAL). Now you need to perform a number of actions.

First you need to wait about 3 hours in the game so that prices for purchased shares have increased by 80% . After reaching this threshold, we transfer your view to the competitive company - Redwood..

We are waiting when prices for their shares become 50 dollars per pieceand then sell all the shares Debonaire Cigarettes. And we buy on all reversed cash shares of the company Redwood.. After that, you need to wait four gaming days again to increase prices for purchased stocks. Under the fourth day, REDWOOD stock prices should jump on 300% . Sell \u200b\u200bshares and get your kush.

Third Lender Task: Murder - Panel

We recommend that you begin to engage in this mission only after passing the plot of GTA 5, since it is during this period that you can rescue the greatest profits. Mission "Murder - Panel" It will be available for you immediately after making a mission with the name "Black helicopter".

We again take all the money from the topics of the triple and invest their shares of the company Fruit.which can be found in the network stock exchange Bawsaq.. As soon as they buy stocks, expect them to rise to the border in 51% . Then immediately sell the company's shares Fruit.and buy stock for this money Facade. Now we are waiting for about three gaming days. As soon as prices for Facade shares will grow on 33% - Sell them and get revenue.

Fourth Lester Task: Murder - Bus

Your actions with the fourth mission will be different from what we did in the three previous ones. You will buy shares after the end of the mission "Murder - Bus". Once you fulfill this mission, then buy on all the money of the company Vapid. in the stock market Bawsaq.. Now you need to wait about two days in the game. As soon as the price is Vapid. Rises on 100% , Alive them and get a double revenue.

Fifth Lester Mission: Murder - Construction

In the fifth mission, everything is repeated again, as in cases with the first three. Before the start of the mission "Murder - Construction", we buy on all the company's money available in the triple Goldcoast.. Let's wait somewhere three days and wait for the rise in stock prices on 81% . As soon as it happens, we immediately sell them and get our huge kush.

Somewhere at the beginning of the article, we pointed to you for the maximum possible amount of money in the account in GTA 5. So, this is done for no accident, as the actions described above, you can earn exactly the amount in 2 147 483 647 dollars. Of course, it still depends on your initial capital when playing stock markets, but nevertheless the amount should be excellent.

Other investments

If you listen to players, it becomes clear that they could not use the leather tips on time (that is, the actions that we described above) and they missed their chance. However, there is another way to get rich and now we will consider it too.

Random event №31

In this random event, you will have to bring one businessman who has failed the car. While you will go to the place specified by them, he will give you one advice about investing money. And the advice is as follows: Invest money in stock Tinkle. on the exchange Bawsaq..

Finish the mission and buy stock shares Tinkle.. Now you will need to wait a couple of game days. As soon as prices for purchased shares will shoot up to 33% , Take the stock and take your profits. The earned amount will be proportional to your original investment.

Competition between companies

On a variety of sites you can find tips on what you can earn huge piles of money if you correctly take advantage of the competition between the warring companies. For example, you can spoil the property of one of the companies or kill the employee at its enterprise to reduce the prices of its shares and increase the opponent on the side.

However, even if you constantly try to do this, you don't work much much. A lot of money can be obtained, perhaps, only from company competition Raine and Ecola.. Everything is quite simple with them: we buy Raine shares, the company's life of ECOLA and sell the raine stock in price.

On the picture: for GTA. 5 OT Julionib . Not that we want to have supersens in the next partGTA. (Or want?), But what a great picture.

Samuel:joe and I thought about what we want from the next part of the GTA. Not any crazy crap, like in GTA 4 we had to give the opportunity to fly on the rocket in the open space. There were rumors in old journals about PlayStation, where I used to work before. No, that Rockstar could really do. We have both a pair of hundreds of GTA Online clock behind your back.

Superman Script MOD for GTA V

We both very much like the GTA core - the single always successfully reveals the world player and immerses in the adventure from the driver when robbery up to a millionaire on a combat helicopter. GTA Online is imperfect, but there is a reason why this is one of the main online games in the world: for a certain generation it is MMO, in which they always wanted to play, and I belong to him. Perhaps she was best able to realize this very "life in the game." The authors are now regularly adding huge updates to the game.


So GTA will do next? Here is a slightly sofa geimdizayna from two guys who know nothing about programming, 3D modeling, netcode and in general, something important.

The ability to play a campaign in a kopoe (or a special cooperative campaign)

Samuel:GTA will never cease to offer the player a storyline single campaign - Rockstar in an interview with Game Informer very clearly told about it. "We are in the company most of all I have exactly singles, and we believe that by the ability to tell stories and immersion in the world, he undoubtedly wins the multiplayer." Hey, dudes, good. I love the GTA campaign and would not want to change them. It is very nice to play GTA without fear that some griffer on the plane blows up my dear Batmobile (Vigilante from GTA Online, the most valuable from my virtual machines).

However, the game has a huge potential for a cooperative, which can be seen on some multiplayer missions, especially robbery. They show that the best moments in the GTA occur when each of the players feel cool. I would like to be able to pass the GTA 6 campaign with one or two friends, and so that the difficulty increased accordingly.

The possibility of passing the game in the cooperative

As an alternative, it was possible to do even better - a full-fledged cooperative campaign for many hours.

Joe: I completely agree. One of the best missions of GTA 4 was Three Leaf Clover, which was reflected in the abundance of robbery in the next game. And although I also like the single GTA campaign, the cooperation of the coop mission is very important - read: filled with inevitable deaths, explosions and mats - why they are just so funny. More plot-oriented robbers would come to me, but I would gladly play in a special cooperative campaign. Even better if it was woven into the plot - just as some Missions from NPC in GTA Online require several players.

Best MatchMakeing forGTA. Online

Samuel:we are all looking towards the Multiplayer Red Dead Redemption 2, because personally interests me, is it better if you are better than in GTA 5. I hope that yes, because in this case, GTA 6 will follow its example. If you can join the game for 60 seconds, I will be happy. I will most likely play every day - I'm not very patient and for me it is a barrier.

Ability to join the game for 60 seconds

Joe: I was playing for your shame (almost) every day over the past two months. A quick look at the statistics says that I spent more than 6 days of life in the game, of which 5 hours, 27 minutes and 13 seconds were chased by the best people Los Santos.

But a completely different digit would have happened if I thought how much I had to wait for the game. I am sure she would be big. Usually like this: you run the game, go to the kitchen, take a glass of water and snack, and when you return, there is still time while the game has not begun. If the download time is online GTA 6 - whatever it is - at least half the same as in GTA Online, it will still be too long.

Less confrontation modes, but better quality

Samuel: I can not criticize the number of content in the GTA Online - it is simply tons after all years of development, and this I still have not yet studied. I will say that I always considered the confusion regimes with a weak link. I never play them, if only there are no double bonuses - and when I still play, there are too many long pauses between the rounds and games themselves, the players are often disconnected, which leads to the imbalance, and the matchmaking, in my opinion, too long.

But more importantly, I never play confrontation regime for entertainment - such modes as "maniac", "Transport Wars". "The hardest target", "Run on the bombus" and "disassembly in overtime" are distinguished by quality, but none of them catch the essence of the game, in my opinion. This company Kotaku explores the problem of the richness of the GTA content: as the author says, the solution could be the rotating set of regimes of A la Splatoon.

High-quality confrontation regimes

Joe:i like the idea of \u200b\u200brotating certain confrontation modes, or even deleted them at all. Reducing their quantity will improve the matchmaking, and the vote for favorite modes will maintain interest. In the future, votes could pull out old regimes from oblivion, and thematic - like the "maniac", inspired by Halloween, would remain only in certain seasons.

Also, the two most unpopular regimes could receive double bonuses.

More insane terms of transport, weapons and tasks

Samuel: The Doomsday Heist The Doomsday Heist is and maybe the best mission in the History of GTA is the destruction of the aircraft on flying deloreans. It does not look like anything from the previous parts, and if you play with friends, it is even better. It seems to me that the GTA Online gradual expansion led Rockstar into such places where they could not get into the single, especially it concerns the giant transport selection: something like Vigilante or Avenger cannot be found in the plot of GTA 5. Some comments compare the game now with Saints ROW, but GTA has always been a strange style: UFO, skeletons of megalodone, Bigfort.

MUCH MADEMENT TRANSPORT IN GTA 6

Even taking into account this, I want the GTA 6 campaign to become crazy. It would be perfectly played in the single in the missions in which there are the same "toys" as in GTA Online, and even more. Underwater missions, flying cars, theft of the army, Jetpaks: almost five years later, in GTA Online there are much more experimental thing and missions than in the campaign. I would like the next campaign "pumped up" in this regard.

More limited scene content inGTA. Online

Samuel: This thing is quite specific. I really liked the last Red Dead promotion in GTA Online, where the players received a steep revolver for the study of tips in certain areas of the Los Santos map. It took a little time to complete, but the idea of \u200b\u200ba one-time storyline with elements of story story through the environment seemed steep. I would like to make more missions or plot events in GTA Online, which are not focused on the mining of money - where the main motivation is a pleasure.

More Scene Content in GTA Online

Joe: I support. I have long text updates "treasure hunting" seemed annoying and distracted from other affairs. But last week I began to solve the coke-what prompts, and although I did not see the end of the case (I robbed a levitating hacker; in GTA 6 there should be less hackers), I got a great pleasure from learning photos, notes and visits to places that usually ignored me .

The binding of such adventures to the plot will not only allow players to plunge into the game more, but also justifies the study of distant sections of the card. After delivering a certain number of trucks and cars in the most distant corners of San Andreas, it becomes routine.

More pleasant protagonists

Samuel: The trio from GTA 5 is perfectly fun when they turn out together, but they are not very pleasant guys - most likely it was so conceived to reflect the mood of the setting. Oh, and sometimes you need to drink them to find out that they actually feel. But in the GTA there were stories of protagonists that you liked: Sitting from San Andreas, Niko Belich from GTA 4 and Johnny Cleantza (RIP) from Lost and Damned. This list can be continued by heroes from other games, such as Jimmy Hopkins from Bully or John Marton from Red Dead Redemption. They are all, of course, are not perfect, but you want them to do everything.

Will a more pleasant character appear in GTA?

Will GTA ever have a woman protagonist? I think, sooner or later, yes. I think she will be something like cutie di from "In Philadelphia is always sunny."

Joe:only because of the similar main character, I will pass the whole game along and across. GTA 6 makes a gang.

And what hell: two cities instead of one

Samuel: GTA 5 satisfied the players because he gave them a gigantic playground for the first time since San Andreas - but she did not transfer the feeling of a huge state, instead offering just cities and a couple of surrounding areas. What is fairly honest, because we received a huge map and perfectly recreated Los Angeles, plus a bunch of places for research.

Ride from Los Santos to San Fierro (and from there again to Las Venturas) in San Andreas was very interesting, although the scale was less. This is just the thing that was from San Andreas, but which could not bring the modern parts of the series.

The ability to move from the state to the state would be very interesting

So, although I will not offer to launch GTA 6 into space, as my former colleagues from PlayStation magazine - Hey, for this there are already a mod - I would like to go (or fly) from one city to another.

Joe: Can the closure of the fashion "Liberty City in GTA 5" last year hint that something is preparing in this direction?

Samuel: I'm not sure, Joe. Most likely, it is just the protection of intellectual property - but I would gladly fly from one location to another, even if GTA 5 will soon take the whole hard disk.

Today it is difficult to imagine a player who has never played some game from the Grand Theft Auto series. She has a multi-million dollar army of fans of different ages around the world. Shared sales have already managed to turn over 125 million copies. Politicians scold this series, judicial claims are being filed against its authors, but she continues to go out. GTA has done a long way from a two-dimensional action with a top view, to one of the most famous franchisees of all time. Therefore, today, when the release of Grand Theft Auto V is no longer outside the corner, but there is already no strength to wait, I suggest you to plunge into nostalgia, or maybe find out something new about this wonderful series.

I draw your attention to the fact that, starting from the third part, the fan modifications will also be met among the screenshots. On the PC, the series formed a powerful community of modmeckers, to pass by which it is impossible. Screenshots with modifications, as a rule, look better than others, or contain elements and brands of the real world.

At the top you see art from the Australian artist Patrick Brown, known for its work based on computer games. Grand Theft AUTO One of his favorite topics for creativity. Specifically, this Art depicted the main characters from the games of the series.

Grand Theft Auto

  • Developer: DMA Design
  • Publisher: BMG Interactive

Platforms and output dates:

  • MS-DOS and Windows: November 8, 1997
  • PlayStation: December 14, 1997
  • Game Boy Color: November 22, 1999
The first game with the title came out on personal computers in the distant 1997. Scottish studio responsible for the development DMA Design.which in 2002 acquired the name of today's name - Rockstar North..

Could anyone be predicted at that time that in the future GTA. will be one of the most famous, popular and scandalous brands in the entire gaming industry? What is its budgets and "cash receipses" will compete with the greatest blockbusters of the world's world? Unlikely. In fact, the first part does not like little on his eminent descendants, and he did not shine for his time.

Grand Theft Auto - This is a two-dimensional arcade with a view from above. Many games at that time were already three-dimensional, so GTA was a representative of the extinction genre. However, the game still managed to stand out and attract the attention of players. To understand why it happened, you need to understand one thing: the vast majority of the games of that time were not ... cruel. They were created with a loaf that the majority of potential players will be children. Of course, there were no teddy bears and pink ponies, but also did not demonstrate the ill-treatment against law-abiding taxpayers. What you can not say about Grand Theft Auto.

GTA had a rare, for its time, the age rating of 18+ and, to tell the truth, was the Hangster simulator. This is: under the leadership of the player, an obviously bad character was provided, which was engaged in various criminal activities. First of all, it is a hijacking of vehicles, for which the game and got its name. As well as shootouts with other gangsters, police, and even attacks on ordinary passersby on the street.

The second key feature of the GTA is freedom of movement in the city, which was even more unusual for the games of that time. Here it was possible to score on all tasks, sobally get a car and go where the eyes look. Yes, and during missions, the city was also not locked: the player is waven to choose the way to the goal. The cities, in fact, were three: Liberty City, San Andreas and Weis City, which are based on real New York, San Francisco and Miami, respectively. During the plot, after a set of the required amount of points, the player was transferred to a new city.

The game begins with the selection of one of the eight characters. Moreover, some of them are women, which is also not typical for the next games of the series. Despite all the scale, the levels in the game are still present. In order to go from one to another, you need to dial a certain number of points. They are given for different actions - for the hijacking of the wheelbarrow, for the accident, murder. But the main source is mandatory plot missions. In addition to them, you can also find a certain number of by-mail, for example, the mission of "rage" (Rampage), during which you need to earn a certain number of points, killing people and exploding machines with the help of weapons issued. What is interesting, the number of lives in GTA was limited: Died several times - start again. Save the game could not, just like in old platformers.

Arsenal in GTA was poorly: a gun, an automatic, flamethrower and a grenade launcher. Yes, another body armor, withstanding three hits. But with the transport of business, much more fun: there were cars, trucks, limousines, as well as motorcycles and holy Trinity - police cars, fire trucks and ambulance.

Relations with police in GTA have always been very interesting. It is worth breaking the law, as the cops immediately begins to persecute. And the more you violate, the more aggressive they become. There are four levels of persecution, the further you choose - the harder it is to survive and escape. To do this, find a police badge, or repaint the car in the car repair shop. But if you failed to escape - the police will arrest you, takes away all weapons and body armor, and scored points of glasses.

The original game was ported on Sony Playstation. and Game Boy Color. But the easiest way to get acquainted with it by downloading her free version from our site:

Either from the official site Rockstar:classic games R * . You will need to introduce your age and email address where the link to download the game will come.

Grand Theft Auto: London 1969

London 1969. - This is an addition for the original Grand Theft Auto. In it, as it is easy to guess, the action moves to London. What is amazing, without ordinary clamps, such as changing the name of the city to the fictional (like New York and Liberty City, for example). The stylistics corresponded to the sixties of the 20th century. In the game you can find a lot of reference to the events of that time. For example, an externally, the main character looked like James Bond, the first film about which appeared just in the sixties. The movement of transport in London, by the way, as it should be, was left-hand.

Grand Theft Auto: London 1961

The game was also the third addition - London 1961. of the year. It came out free, but required the installation of London 1969, which in turn requires the original Grand Theft AUTO.

Grand Theft AUTO 2

  • Developer: DMA Design
  • Publisher: Rockstar Games

Platforms and output dates:

  • Windows: September 30, 1999
  • PlayStation: October 25, 1999
  • Dreamcast: July 28, 2000
  • Game Boy Color: November 10, 2000
What is interesting: was translated and published in Russian efforts Buki, entitled GTA 2: Lawlessness. The translation turned out rather funny.

English version of the game can be downloaded free from the site classic games Rockstar

Although the second part received a three-dimensional engine, she still had a top view that she laid down the world recognition. Nevertheless, progress compared to the first part inspires respect. DMA Design. Rightly understood what players want from them: more violence and failed! GTA 2.i got brighter than the first. I had a switch between daytime and night time in the menu. It was more and cooler in it. But first things first.

The main character of the game was already defined in advance - his name is Claude AIDS.. It is difficult to say, the same Claude, which is later the main character GTA IIIand appears in GTA: San Andreas - There is no name in his surname at all. But GTA 2 events occur many years later than the specified games - in the 2013th year. It's funny, because now this year. It is necessary to think, in the 1999 for the developers, he seemed to be distant, which could not be due to the predicted end of the world. Now Claude will have the way to the top of the criminal world of the city " Everywhere» ( Anywhere City.). It is necessary to assume that the developers have tried to divert from any relationship with reality, or the need to more reliably simulate the city.

"WHERE HAVE" is traditionally divided into three parts: downwall, residential and industrial areas. As before, the journey passes from one area to the next. For the transition you need to accumulate $ 1,000,000 in the first area, then $ 3,000,000 in the second, and $ 5,000,000 in the third, to end the game. A new way of spending money appeared: a hike to church. It is possible to find it, seating in minivan news service with antenna, always indicating the church. The cost of the campaign is $ 50,000, but it is worth it: the exclamation of "Hallelujah! Another soul saved! " - And the game will be saved! But if, when a visit to Church, CLOD did not turn out to be the right amount, followed by a crumpled "Curse! There is no offer - no salvation! ".

The key role in GTA 2 is gangs that launched their tentacles to Megapolis: Zaibatsu Corporation (Eng. Zaibatsu Corporation) appears in all areas. Besides her, in the first area died: Yakuza and scumbags. In the second district: scientists of the SRS (sex and reproductive systems) and villagers. In the third district: Krishnaitis and Russian mafia.

Each of the gang has its own characteristics: branded colors, logo, cars and weapons. But most importantly: they have tasks for CLOD, which can be obtained by telephone machine. As can be seen, the developers did not even suspect that by 2013 this year, this type of communication is almost dying. But to get a task from the gang, you need to be with her in good relationships. In the corner of the screen there is a reputation meter in three gangs in the current area of \u200b\u200bthe city. If the counter went to the left, then the tasks of the gang became inaccessible. When the player killed the representatives of the gang, he worsened with her, but improved them with other gangs. At the same time, a gang with a bad attitude towards Claud appeared more powerful weapons (friendly always armed with guns). Also, each gang had a boss, and at the end of the events around the city, these bosses decided to remove Claude, but he did it first.

In addition to representatives of the groupings, there were also two types of independent gangsters on the streets: there are automobiles and thieves. They could act both against ordinary citizens and against gang representatives, and even against the player! You could simply pull out from the car and throw on the asphalt, or to beat, at a rate of $ 10 per second.

Generally speaking, the AI \u200b\u200bin the second part has improved seriously. Some drivers armed with pistols, and after the hijacking the player of the car, they can try to return it to themselves. In the city there may be skirmishes between gangs, police and civilians - without any participation on the player's side!

Vehicles were also undergoing improved. Now their physical qualities are returned: the game learned to take into account their mass. Taxi and buses began to select passengers. Claude also could now work as a taxi driver and a bus driver. But for some reason the motorcycles were removed from the second part.

Relations with the law have become even more interesting. First, the search levels are now 6. With each subsequent level, the authorities are making increasingly stringent measures for catching or killing Claude. They pursue him, install the barricades, comes SWAT, government agents, and then the army is connected - jeeps, armored cars, and even tanks are injected! In order to get away from the police, as before - you need to find an asterisk icon, or repaint the car in the workshop. But you can also hide out of mind, then with the time the search will stop.

Arsenal of the second part has become an order of magnitude richer: a pistol, paired guns, a Uzu machine gun gun, ultrasound with a silencer, shotgun, flamethrower, electric shock, grenade launcher, grenades, Molotov cocktail! You can get a new gun by raising from the ground, or killing the owner. Also, which is very surprising, weapons can be installed on the car! Including: ultrasound, mines, machinery and bomb, which explodes with the car. On some cars, weapons can already be installed: a machine gun on an army jeep and a stationary flamethrower (alas, only in one of the missions). Yes, and in the game you can still find a tank!

Grand Theft Auto III

  • Developer: DMA Design
  • Publisher: Rockstar Games
  • Localizers: Beech (2002) / 1C-Softklab (Reprint 2010)
Platforms and output dates:
  • PC: May 20, 2002
  • PlayStation 2: October 22, 2001
  • Xbox: October 30, 2003
  • iPhone: December 15, 2011
  • Android: December 15, 2011
Finally, we got to the first game in the series, which was three-dimensional and had a view from a third party. Engine called Renderware. allowed DMA Design. (shortly after the release of the game renamed Rockstar North.) Make this small margin for the series, which has become a big step for the gaming industry. Of course, three-dimensional games with an open world were before, for example, or Body Harvest. From the DMA itself. But Grand Theft Auto III differs significantly from all over the fact that she ... Well, simply was all the same GTA., that is, a bunk simulator of a gangster scumbag, which is given by the whole city!

It is possible without exaggeration to say that GTA III left its fat trail in history. Thanks to three-dimensionality (I say, because "3D" - today, more associated with movies and red-blue glasses), much more players paid attention to it than previous parts. Not to mention that so the game looks and is played much cooler. As a result, Grand Theft Auto III diverged a lot of a lot of millpic circulations and acquired a lot of fans. But the essence is not only in this. The game turned out to be so popular that even formed his own genre, whose representatives began to be called simply: "Clone Gta". For example, these are games and a series like: , , , , , , , And many dozens of others.

But not only this is the famous game. And not even numerous awards "game of the year", and an average estimate in 97% out of 100 possible on the site Metacritic.com. Although it certainly had its influence. But much more interesting - numerous scandals and crusades of the public against the game. She was accused of overly realistic cruelty, in the fact that it negatively affects the minds of children and even adults. It can kill police and peaceful people in it, as well as that I was very outraged by the public, you could remove a prostitute that sat in the car and, in fact, did our job. Allegedly, after playing GTA III, someone can try to repeat what they saw in real life. Some terrible incidents in the United States ranked actions under the vice of cruel games, and in particular Grand Theft Auto. Politicians spoke about it, although scientists could not prove any influence of cruel games to human mind. And about the trial Jack Thompson I did not hear against Rockstar, probably only lazy. Is it worth saying that all this played a game to favor? After all, it is so interesting to see himself, and because of what so much noise? And most of the players probably remained satisfied.

The popularity of GTA III, as well as the ease of unpacking files, led to the creation of one of the most powerful modmaker communities in history. All: models, textures, scripts were subjected. The number of new machines, including well-known real models, has many hundreds. The changes were also subjected to buildings, trees, models of passers-by and other little things. There were a lot of global modifications, for example, who brought in Liberty-City winter, or turn the game in the movie " The matrix", Or the game" ". Well, of course, it is impossible not to remember Multi Theft AUTO - Multiplayer, which appeared in the game only thanks to fans!

The main hero of GTA III is the silent guy who does not say a word for the whole game. Why, we didn't know the name - we didn't know him - all the name is it just a "guy". True, running forward, the guy appeared also in GTA: San Andreas, where I met S. Catalina On illegal races. And there Catalina calls him Claude. Not Claude AIDSas the name of the hero GTA 2., simply Claude. There is no good reason to believe that this is the same person, although there are no facts that deny such an opportunity.

Grand Theft Auto III takes place in the city Liberty Citybased on New York. Let me remind you that he was also the first city in the first part of the series. Traditionally, the "City of Freedom" is divided into three districts: Portland Islands and Standon, as well as part of the mainland Coastal Valley. Initially, only the first one of them is portland. Later, in the course of the plot (and not after the set of the required amount of points, as before), one other than two more areas open. Moreover, the forced relocation to the next area of \u200b\u200bthe city, did not cover access to the previous one, as it was before. You can move between them in the auto network, mounted bridges and even on the subway. In each of the areas there are one apartment, at the entrance you can save your progress for free and infinitely. The closest of them is always shown on the radar. In contrast to the previous games of the series, the GTA III has a dynamic change of time of day, as well as weather conditions. What is interesting, one day here is equal to 24 minutes.

In Portland, poor classes live, and the main attractions are: a small park, a port (hence and name), a Chinese quarter and a small mansion on the top of the hill, and only in Portland has a railway over the city with several stations. Around the midst of Standon, a business center is located, a lot of skyscrapers, a stadium, a large building station "Standon Plaza" and a small marina. In the "Coastal Valley", private mansions prevail, there is a dam, and the most important thing is "Francis International Airport", in which you can find the only plane in the game that you can use. By the way, so that the players did not try to repeat the incident " 11 September"Dodo had wings, which had greatly complicated management. Well, yes, who prevented this? ..

In fact, due to the tragedy, which happened almost before the easiest of the game, her release was postponed for three weeks, due to the need to change some game moments, in order to reduce the similarity of Liberty City and New York. For example, the white-blue colors of police cars were replaced with black and white. Also, children, school buses, female taxi drivers disappeared from the game. The character disappeared by name Darkel, who issued insane tasks similar to terrorist acts. The last reminder is served by four homeless in Portland Tunnel, "guarding" Molotov's cocktail. However, it is impossible to say for sure whether all changes were made over the past three weeks, the fact is that parts of the beta content of the beta version were carved. And the developers are difficult for it to blame.

GTA III begins with the fact that the same catalina, which was with Claude about 9 years (San Andreas events - 1992, GTA III - 2001), suddenly betrays it when robing the bank, shoots it, and leaves Colombian by name Miguel. So our guy turns out to be behind the bars. He shines ten years, but when transported to prison, unknown persons are attacked to the police convoy to free someone from their. At the same time, they at the same time liberate Claude and his companion with bandaged hands, and then suddenly exploded the Callaohan Bridge, where all this action took place, having taken harslers with him. So alive only Claude and the guy stayed by nickname Bald (in original - 8-ball. - Eighth, black, ball in the pool). Together they leave the bridge and stop in the garage "At Eddie" to change the prison clothes and sit down. After that, Claude, on the recommendation of the bald, comes to work for the Italian mafia. And then - a long road in the footsteps of Catalyna.

At first, Claude is not very trusted, and make the most dirty and small work, such as the desstant, and car hijacking. But then, when he comes across to the eyes of people who occupy a higher position, he gradually acquires authority and honors the attention of the dona himself Salvatore Leone. However, as it is known to be too close to the authorities not only profitable, but also dangerous. This rule Claude will have to feel on its own skin. Later he has to work on many very strange characters, like an amateur torture and man who hides from the FBI in a public toilet. All this case is demonstrated by small rollers at the beginning and end of the mission. By the way, they no longer begin in the telephone booth. Instead, Claude needs to come to the designated on the radar (it, by the way, first appeared in the third part) the point marked with a large red circle.

Although the "telephone missions" in the game also remained. Through them, Claude calls for gang representatives and offer a job that is not associated with the plot. Total three such phones, and at the end of the tasks of each of them, Claude will quarrel with one of the gangs whose representatives will now always be aggressive. Also available to the tasks of "furious", in which they are invited to exterminate the bandits or cars, from the proposed weapons. And if you sit in a van with the inscription "Serious toys" - the task was started using small radio-controlled machines stuffed with explosives, with which you need to undermine the gang machines. And in several cars, it is proposed to overcome the irregularities of the terrain, collecting checkpoints. The case is risky, because Claude can fall into the sea, and by the way, he can not swim. On the city placed 20 springboard, on which it is proposed to perform "unique jumps" - when time slows down, and the jump is demonstrated from the cinematic chamber. In the last district of the city you can find the garage to which certain types of machines are required. The award is given money (the more the machine is the more), as well as the opportunity to order any of the previously stolen machines here. Well, of course, it remains to remember the "professional" missions - they can be activated, sowing in a taxi car, ambulance (now it is clear how they are gaining drivers without rights), fire and police officer. The last of them, "Vochelante", can also be held on some other machines, for example, on army, and even on a tank!

If you think that GTA is played for the sake of performing some tasks there, then you are mistaken. The main distinguishing feature of this game is in the living city. Here passersby walk through the streets, cars ride on the roads, the gangsters shoot each other, the police patrol the city. And they all comply with the rules of the road: do not exceed the speed, stop at the intersections. This idyll may last forever. As long as anyone, namely, the player, will not solve. One shot is enough (if you just walk down the street with Kalash, in Nerrevis - this does not touch anyone) so that a chain reaction begins: passersby raise a cry and carry away, armed gangsters can start shooting in response, and the police attempt to arrest the intruder. But after all, the player does not stop on the achieved: you can shoot at the runaway civil, killing them and shooting limbs, from which the fountain is bloody. GRAND THEFT AUTO III is not in vain called a brutal game. At the place immediately comes ambulance, and doctors are trying to resurrect victims. In case of success, those can stand up, and immediately try to take revenge, attack on Claude! But if doctors do not have time (they are also mortals), then the bodies on Earth disappear, and in their place there appears with chalk, as if the police had visited the crime scene and took the body.

But such crimes do not remain unpunished. The police are ready to resolutely attack the criminal, as needed by calling for imaging. There are 6 wanted levels in all: in the beginning it is only the police itself, from the third level - a helicopter is added to them to the rescue, then the forces of special forces, FBI and the US Army with soldiers and tanks. To lower the search level, you can hide out of mind, find the star icon, or repaint the car. However, by itself, the fight with the forces of law enforcement can be very interesting! Copops can be killed, blowing machines, helicopters can be shot down, and tanks can be destroyed from the grenade launcher. And how much time will you hold out in the sixth level of the search? I must say that instead of death, Claude turned out to be in the hospital, where he had selected all the weapons and some money for treatment. And with arrest - similarly, with amendment to the police station and a bribe. About any end of the game speech did not go. And then, no one forbids just download the game, so as not to look for all this weapon again.

Car in the game was 50 pieces, as well as 3 boats and 1 Dodo aircraft. The most famous Pascher GTA III is connected with the latest: the fact is that Dodo can fly to the "Ghost Island" - an area with a bank from the elementary video. Motorcycles, alas, was not at all. But both cars, honestly, were enough. Among them are family-run leaders, simple coupes, pickups, minibuses, buses, trucks, limousine, sports cars and so on. All of them are fictional. The physical model is far from perfection, even by the standards of that time. Damage only visual and on fine quality do not affect. When hitpoints end, the car lights up and explodes. The same happens after the coup on the roof.

The weapon in the third part was the following: own fists, baseball bits (you can always find near the house-retainer), gun, ultrasound, shotgun, automatic Kalashnikov, M16, sniper rifle, RPG-7, flamethrower, lemon pomegranate, Molotov cocktail and Detonator for a bomb installed in the car. All this weapon can be carried with you, and the ceiling of the cartridges is set in 9999. It was also possible to find armor, which gave the character additionally 100 points of damage, which he kept, until he was disconnected. All this good can be found on the street, buy in stores or get for nothing - if collecting hidden packages. For every ten found packages, a new weapon appears near each of the apartments of Claude. Total hundred packages, and for their collection it is better to use the card that can be easily found on the Internet.

I left just a year after the third part. It is amazing but Buka No longer began to translate the game. It had to make fans and, frankly, they coped not very well. Official localization came out only in 2009, when 1C. Acquired the rights to the entire series.

If you remember Vice City. - also called the second city from the first part Grand Theft Auto. The game begins with a screensaver stylized under the computer's command line Commodore 64.. And soon after the launch, you understand what was in the past - in Miami 1986. In the game, however, the city is called a fictional name - Vice City, but doubt about which city served as a sample, can not be. Weiss City. Differently different from Liberty City: It is slightly more divided into two districts, and much more colorful. Semi-arsen girls walk down the streets, palms are swinging in the wind, the yachts stand on the pier, the rich is playing golf, and the main character, Tommy VersettiJudging by clothes, just went on vacation. All here are impregnated here: Music and conversations on radio stations, cars on the streets, clothes on random passers-by.

It is implapically believed that the main inspiration for the creators of the game was the movie " Face with a scar» ( Scarface.). So, on the radio that can be listened in the car, you can hear songs from this film. In it, too, the action took place in Miami. On the airship in the sky you can see the slogan of the film: The World Is Yours. After the acquisition of the Tommy Striptease, the costume of the main character of the film can wear Tony Montana. Club "Malibu" - a copy of the club "Babylon", the estate of Diaz - is very similar to the estate of Tony Montana, and the office and is his copy at all, and the drug trap himself Ricardo Diaz, According to its impulsive character, resembles the main character of the film. Is it worth saying that the final mission reminds the Final "Persons with Scar"?

The basic mechanics for the year has not changed much, but the authors focused on expanding the player's capabilities. So, now it has become possible to buy real estate. Part of it is intended to create additional storage points, and the other brings profit. In the second half of the game, the task of acquiring particularly important enterprises is put in front of the player: a taxi, ice cream factories (cover for drug dealers), Malibu, car dealership club, and even porn studios. There are also issued tasks related to industrial and distribution cases. In order for the player not to be lost in this huge city, in the game, in addition to the Radar, a full-fledged map was finally built.

Unlike Claude, Tommy are not off with time to change the wardrobe, although the standard "Hawaiika" with jeans - very much go to him. Many costumes are becoming available after certain missions. Disguise also reduces the search level of the police.

Perhaps not the most important, but still quite an interesting innovation can be considered a change in the hotel in which Tommy stops. After some plot missions, he brings to the "Trophy" to the room - for example, a mask, after the bank's robbery. And, of course, here you can find "infinite" weapon - which still appears as being hidden things are being found - this time the figurines within which drugs were transported. And for the passage of the game by 100%, the room appears ... T-shirt with the inscription "I passed GTA by 100%, and everything that I got is this idiotic T-shirt."

Weapons also seriously reworked. First, it has now become much more. In this regard, not everything can be carried with you - weapons are divided into several types: Castet (instead of fists), Middle battle (bit, knife, chainsaw, and the assortment of tool store) pistols (9mm-gun and revolver), shotguns and Rouge (gun, shotgun, automatic shotgun), automata (M4, Ingram, Tes 9, Kruger, MP5), as well as heavy weapons (M60, sniper rifle, PSG-1. Gatling, flamethrower, grenade launcher). Taking another weapon from the same cell - threw out old weapons from it.

In addition to hundreds of car models, you can meet six types of motorcycles, seven aircraft (mostly helicopters) and five boats. Swim Tommy, like Claude, can not, but flies perfectly. It must be said that the transport has become more like its real prototypes.


Most of the side tasks moved from the previous parts. First of all, it is "professional" missions on urban services. They added to the task of delivering pizza, insane duration - more than an hour. You can also invite the cars on the list, now it is in the car dealership. Missions of rage have not changed. Racing has become only more, as well as various tasks with overcoming obstacles. In the game there is even a stadium, which occurs truths. To earn money, it was possible to rob the cash desks, after which it was necessary to hide from the police, since Siren worked in the store. Instead of exploding toy machines, in fashion now helicopters and aircraft, as well as "neutralized" racing cars. Racing on them is still fun. At one time, many players with difficulty overcame the mission during the plot, in which it was necessary to place explosives with the help of small, but deadly helicopters on the radio control, inside the building under construction.

Vice City modifications came out more than GTA III. It is also a reasonable number of new vehicles, clothes, weapons, buildings, and even locations. The most famous, perhaps, is Deluxe. - It contains the replacement of the whole (!!!) transport in the game, on real highly aligned models. Among them: Mercedes SLR Cabrio, Aston Martin Vantage, BMW X5, Audi RS6, Ferrari 360 Modena, Mitsubishi Lancer EVO VII, Subaru WRX Sti, Nissan Skyline other! Also, new transport was awarded new physical characteristics. In addition, Deluxe redraws many buildings in the city. Moreover: adds a few new areas, including motor trap motor trap. And finally, produces more hundreds of minor changes. Naturally, the game will not be very comfortable. But for a free game (which, in my opinion, is the most important thing in the Grand Theft AUTO series) - just what you need!

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

  • Developer: Rockstar North
  • Publisher: Rockstar Games
  • Publisher in Russia: 1C-Softklab

Platforms and output dates:

  • PC: June 07, 2005
  • PlayStation 2: October 26, 2004
  • PlayStation 3: December 11, 2012
  • Xbox: June 07, 2005

Not so long ago, the founder of the studio Rockstar Dan Hauser., said: "The best generation games come out at sunset, and not at dawn" - commenting on the fact that Grand Theft Auto V Will out on consoles Xbox 360. and PS3, Before the release of a new generation of consoles. These words have a significant argument, in the form - until now the largest and scandalous game of the series, released at sunset PlayStation 2..

The Russian version appeared quite recently - only in February 2010, almost five years after the release of the game. Traditionally, only subtitles were translated. However, the fans have already managed to translate the game on their own very well. True, it does not concern the very first machine translation, which squeezed the phrase like "spent", "the cacked cock is not yet ready", "signs of chosen", etc.

The game attracted a big public scandal: among the resources of the game, an erotic mini-game was cut out from her. Carved so bad that the folk craftsmen Namig returned her performance - it is enough to throw several files to the folder and click the launch combination in the game, after which you can go on a date with one of the girls. After a successful date, the girl could invite Si-Jia. "For a cup of hot coffee" (for which this episode was named Hot Coffee.). Without a modification - the girl's house will simply be shown, from which the unequivocal sounds are consecrated, and the camera is walking in different directions. With a modification, everything is worse: we can observe an erotic scene inside the house. During her, the girl is completely stripped (although Karl for some reason remains in clothes), after which a mini-game starts to quickly and frequently press the keys, the purpose of which is the satisfaction of the girl. The result, by the way, influenced the final result of a date.

After detection of content on the disks with the game, a large scandal broke out, because the game was sold with the age rating Mature. In the US (17+), which does not provide for such a frank scenes. Rating games quickly changed to Adults ONLY. (18+, that is, it was necessary to wait just a year ...), under which many shops were forced to move the game to the section with pornography, or even return all copies to the publisher. Later, a new edition was published with the previous rating of Mature, which no longer contained controversial content. For a PC version, together with a patch 1.1, containing some fixing gaming bugs, the performance of the HOT COFFEE modification also turned off, due to the patch is also known for the name "No More Hot Coffee".

Rockstar explained this content only as an experiment of its employees, from which it was decided to refuse to favor a lower age rating. In fairness, it should be noted that without the intervention of hackers in the archives of the game, this content would never be available to the player. To activate it, you need to download a modification from the Internet called Hot Coffee and throw the files to the game folder. But, is the process very different from the installation of numerous erotic modifications for many other games? In both cases, the user has been aware of what it is installing, and what changes will occur in the game.

The newly added newly added to the scandal with Hot Coffee: in 2006, the famous prosecutor and lawyer Jack Thompson, opposing cruelty in games, drew attention to GTA. He accused the game that she provokes violence in reality, spurring people to take weapons and go out with him from home. Such episodes were really, and still occur in the United States, but Jack Thompson was seriously convinced: games are to blame. He more than once requested to ban the sale of the Grand Theft Auto. However, already in 2008, the Supreme Court of Florida deprived Thompson of a lawyer license for distorting facts, insults, including judges, after another refusal in his lawsuit. On this public career Jack Thompson ended.

How did all this affect GTA: San Andreas and Rockstar? Oh, they won a unique reputation. And although the court costs are clearly expensive by the publisher, but PR their game received an incomparable. Many bought the game simply then to personally see what is so cruel and terrible in it. To believe Kotaku., then according to information on September 2011, the game was sold by a common circulation 27.5 millions of copies. Perhaps comments are superfluous.

Action GTA: San Andreas occurs in 1992 in the fictional state San Andreas.. It must be assumed, it is named so in honor of the eponymous fault of the earth's crust in the state of Califrony. If you thought that San Andreas, like the third city in the very first part of the Grand Theft Auto, is based on San Franciscothen you are somewhat mistaken. The fact is that there is no longer one city in the game, but three: Los Santos, San Fierro and Las Venturas.. Moreover, in addition to each of them, there is also a countryside (in the case of Las Vernuturas - deserted), which for the most part in the game are used as routes for illegal racing. Thus, the total area of \u200b\u200bthe Gaming world San Andreas is five times more than in GTA III and four than in GTA: Vice City. The city and the locality adjacent to them are divided into a wide river through which many bridges are built. Railway passes between all three cities, where has several stations. You can also quickly move between cities with airports.

Los Santos is based on Los Angeles. It has a lot of absolutely not similar one on another areas. Here is full of full reference to real Los Angeles. What is the alley of glory and a huge inscription " Weinwood"On the hill, which is also located the same area, consisting of rich celebrity villas. But also there is also a disadvantaged ghetto where disadvantaged families live, many of whom are forced to steal from childhood in order to survive. Los Santos breaks the opposition of gangs consisting of blacks and Mexicans. There are many skyscrapers in the business center of the city, from the highest of which you can jump with parachute. At the stadium there are miniature races on the machines of Nascar. Countryside at Los Santos is not too remarkable. Just farm, factory, and several small villages.

San Fierro, which is so called a city based on San Francisco. Most of all he is interested in his hills - on them, very cool, you can jump from top to bottom on a quick car or on a motorcycle, but you can rise for quite a long time. Also there is a private tram system. The tram cannot be destroyed or braked. In the docks there is a ship that buys stolen cars by lists. San Fierro - Car capital state. Here is an extreme driving driving offshochkol, after which Si-Jia is invited to take part in illegal races. As for the legal, then Derby is held at the stadium. The city of the Triad family, as well as pimps and bandits, which have los Santos gangs and gangsters are ruling in the city. Countryside is interesting perhaps that the presence of the real mountain is Chilead, from the top of which the oldest championship is held - a descent on mountain biking.

Las Venturas, how it is not difficult to guess by the title - this is a local Las Vegas. The main and only attraction, like the famous prototype, is a very long majority of casino and hotels. In the casino, by the way, you can play some gambling, winning or losing up to a million dollars at a time. These casinos are managed by three Italian mafia families, Leone, Forelli and Sindakko, as well as familiar to San Fierro Triad. There is also a stadium on which two disciplines are spent immediately, depending on the day of the week: Motocross and Extreme Motorcycle Tricks. Not far from the city there is a huge mining quarry, in which you can earn money on the dump truck (relevant, if you just lost a couple of millions in a casino). But the most interesting starts next, in the hot desert. There is an abandoned airport, which turned into a cemetery of aircraft, strictly classified military base "Zone 69" and a huge hydroelectric station on the dam.

The main hero in GTA: San Andreas is Karl Johnson, or just Si Jay ( CJ.). He is black, and grew up in a disadvantaged family in Ghetto Los Santos. The game begins with the way Si Jay arrives from Liberty Cityin which he lived the last five years, on the funeral of the mother. Upon arrival at him, sales cops immediately attack, accused of killing an officer (which they made themselves) and thrown a hostile gang on the street. Lasting for the funeral, Karl, nevertheless, caresses his brother and sister Kendl on the cemetery, as well as familiar from childhood Ridera and Greater Smuke. From them he learns about the heavy gang of Gang Gang Street, after which decides to stay to help build things. Further, he will be waiting for a few shocks, escape from his native city to rural wilderness, and then in all three cities of San Andreas.

The plot, perhaps, lacks the stars from the sky, but as otherwise it was possible to pull out so many unique characters on the scene! There is an old hippie, everywhere seeing government conspiracies, as well as a government agent who knows very many cases and having impressive ties. There is a strict boss of the Chinese triad, two black enemy repegers, afraid to get out of the house 27-year-old genius, creating very dangerous toys, casino croupier, at night changing a rigorous suit on latex ... you can continue for a long time.

Also in the game there is a lot of reference to the previous parts of the series. In fact, GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas are often called the trilogy, as they occur in the same universe, and their events often intersect. So, hot mexican Catalina meets Karl for the sake of a pair of robbery, after which it throws it for the illegal rider ClaudeWhich will take it in Liberty City. What ended this novel, we know GTA III. One of the owners of the casino in Las Venturas in the future will also go to the "City of Freedom", his name is Salvatore Leone, and in front of Si-Jay in Casino Caligula, he meets the waitress Maria Latatory.on which during the GTA III he is married. Salvator also suits the Si-Jay short visit to Libersi City, in the Bistro "from Marco". And straight out Weiss City.in Las Venturas arrive at the lawyer Ken Rosenberg and producer of sound recording Kent Pol. And this is still not all links.

For the first time, since GTA 2., The series returned the possibility of interaction with the gang. Los Santos share the four of the largest: " Groove Street"(This is a gang of Si-Jia and his family)," Varrio Los Aztecas."(Friendly)," Ballas"And" Los Santos Vagos" With the last two just a war to the war: Los Santos is divided into sectors whose colors are marked on the map, depending on their own gang. The ultimate goal is complete "gardening" of the entire card. Starting will have to be with a small piece, including the streets around the native Si-Jay house. To win at least one new piece, you need to unleash the war with a gang on it: kill a few of its members, then withstand three attacks of this gang, one more powerful than the other.

You can take a few comrades from the gang of "Grub Street" - the higher the authority (increases by the seizure of the territories), the more you can take fighters. They can also climb with Carl in the car, or sit on the back of the motorcycle. After the seizure of the territory, it is beginning to patrol the members of the Gang "Grub Street". Also near the House of Charles, it will be possible to take profits received from the retained areas. But not everything is so simple: enemy gangs are often trying to knock off their territory - you need to go and suppress the riot, otherwise the territory will be lost. But when the entire card becomes green, the rebels will immediately end, and Ballas and Wagosov will not be more in Los Santos.

Interestingly, the strip clubs appeared in the game, which Karl can visit, and where can even order a private erotic dance. Prostitutes that you can "shoot", being in the car, no one also cancels.

But what is even more interesting, now Karl can make girlfriends. They are both in cities and in rural areas. Two of them are found during the storyline, but the rest should be signed on their own. Naturally, none of them suspects the existence of the rest. The benefit of good relationships with girls can be obtained even without modifying hot coffee. So, the girl from San Fierro has connections in the medical institution, thanks to which Karl will no longer take a weapon if he falls into the hospital. The same applies to the girl from a desert village near Las Venturas, it has similar ties with the police. In addition, each of the girls can resolve Karl take her car, and can also give a unique suit. Si Jay looks great in a police suit, next to the selling coupons of Tenpenni and Pulaks, and in a rustic suit only on the tractor and ride.

But in order to get these bonuses, you have to work a lot. Each girl requires personal attention: you need to walk with her on dates (for example, in a bar, restaurant, in the eatery, or in a nightclub, where you have to go through a mini-game with dancing), give gifts and roll on expensive machines at a certain speed. All girls have different tastes and morals.

Side tasks have become much more than before, even moreover, rage missions were lost. But the "professional" tasks were not going anywhere: ambulance, taxi, police, and firefighters still await their hero. They were also joined by pimps (the separation of prostitutes on customers, as well as their protection) and even the driver of local trains (they can be controversial!). In addition, you can earn a housework, a truck driver, a courier, a parking machine, a career driver and a car drip in the stadiums. There are also amazing classes like triathlon (swimming, cycling and running), jumping on a powerful motorcycle in the docks and on the BMX bike at the construction site, as well as a mountain biking descent from Ciliad Mountain. Plus to this everything - several dozen racing roads, including flights on various aircraft.

The game also added in the number of mini-games. So entering the bar, you can play billiards for money. With the help of a slot machine, or a home console in the Si-Jea house, you can play several ancient video games. Going to the basketball court, you can take the ball in the hands and try to set the record of hits from different points on the site. In clubs you can dance, and the hydraulic suspension can be installed on some cars, after which you can participate in the competitions of Low Rider.

A separate line can be mentioned gambling. Already in Los Santos, you can find automata taking rates on jumps. But the most interesting awaits Karl in Las Venturas Casino. Here you can play roulette, blackjack, poker, Fortune wheel and numerous "one-hand bandits". At the beginning, Karl is not allowed at the tables with big bets. At first, you need to win or lose a lot of money, thereby won the reputation, after which millions can be put. Of course, the risk of playing is very large, but no one has canceled the ability to download the preservation until Fortuna smiles to you.

It is worth noting that Si Jay knows how much more than the heroes of previous games. Much was borrowed from the previous game Rockstar - (in San Andreas, by the way, there is one location from this game). The sight is no longer hanging constantly in the center of the screen - it appears only when holding the right mouse button. Karl is able to conceal hiddenly moving around, and with a back with a knife, can kill the enemy, cutting the throat. May jump and move through obstacles, like numerous fences. Karl can explore one of three kinds of martial arts at the masters in the gym. He is not afraid to fly on Jetpack, jump with a parachute and even ... can swim and dive!

Karl can expand its wardrobe, making purchases in numerous stores of San Andreas. Bought clothing is immediately duplicated in the cabinets of all (well, almost) houses that can be purchased in the game. What is even more interesting: not costumes are bought, and individual elements: top, bottom, shoes, hats, glasses, clock and chains. They can be worn in any order, thanks to which Karl may look, for example, like a clown, cowboy, or gentleman. Or completely ridiculous - in cowals with hearts, cowboy boots, hockey mask and with a chainsaw in the hands of ...

There are two more ways to make your Si-Jiya unique (or just like fun) - a trip to the hairdresser, where you can choose one of the many hairstyles, as well as the tattoo salon, where you can cover most of the Karl body with different tattoos.

Well, once they were mentioned at home. Si Jay prefers to acquire residential buildings for himself, personally for himself. Both luxurious and cheap village apartments. All of them can be preserved. Yes, during the plot, you can still get accommodation. But also buying a new one is also very desirable: it is convenient, because the world of the game has grown greatly, and dragged through the entire city to the only point of preservation - long and often dangerous.

Perhaps one of the most amazing innovations in GTA: San Andreas became the parameters of the main character. Si-Jey has the following indicators: fat, endurance, respect, lung volume, appearance, musculature, driver skills, pilot skills, motorcyclist skills, cyclist skills, as well as experience of gambling and skills to shoot every type of weapon separately!

If suddenly you imagined the scattering of skills when raising the level, as in some role-playing game, then immediately forget. To build muscles and become rushing, you need to go to the gym and exercises that are in very frequently pressing one or more keys. At this time, Karl on the screen raises dumbbells, or rides at the exercise bike, losing fat. So that the fat is not over (it will draw a health indicator), you need to go to the eatery and to overtake it harmful food. It is done for a long time and tedious, but the results are visible: Carl becomes a muscular. And if you only be out, it will become fat, like a big skunk. With the other parameters by analogy. Part of the side tasks gave bonuses to the characteristics: the ambulance mission increased the health, the housepiece - endless running, and to improve the skills of transport management, you need to visit special schools.

Arsenal Si-Jay is almost no different from what was in GTA: Vice City. Nevertheless, among the explosives now there are things like a gas grenade and C4 with a remote detonator. Some useful things have appeared: fire extinguisher, spray can with paint and film camera. In connection with the advent of girls, you can find gifts for them: a bouquet of flowers, a cane, a dildo and a vibrator. Laughter for the sake of, they can be used in battle. And last: night vision device with thermal imager, as well as parachute (disposable).

As already mentioned earlier, there is a separate skill scale for each of the types of firearms. The higher the skill, the more precisely shoots the weapon, and at the maximum level of one-handed trunks (9mm of pistols, cropping, micro-ultrasound and tse-9) - they can be taken one by each hand! You can quickly increase skills in a dash in a network of traditional Armory "Ammu-Nation".

Instead of ordinary hundred hidden things, there were many unique collectibles in San Andreas. Thus, in Los Santos, it is proposed to paint 100 graffiti of enemy gangs, four types of weapons appear in the Si-Jium House. In San Fierro, there are 50 angles for photographs - icons, which are visible only in the camera lens, four types of weapons appear for them near the garage workshop in Doherty. In Las Venturas, 50 happy horseshoes were scattered, for them, four types of weapons appear near the casino of four dragons, and the good luck in gambling is also rising. Also around the state were scattered 50 seashells (they need to dive, and the award is an increase in lungs and attractiveness) and 70 unique jumps for which they pay money.

If suddenly it seemed to you that in previous games of the series - too few vehicles, this is exactly impossible to say about San Andreas. And it's not even about the banal addition of new shells and motorcycles, although with this game in order. The main thing is that there are whole new categories: these are two bikes, many airplanes (including a huge passenger liner, a smaller passenger aircraft, corn, airplane, and a military fighter, armed with homing rockets), trailer trailers that are disconnected and joined by a guided tanker, Combine, quad bike, cards and even train, even if you can ride on it only on rails. And there is still a wonderful thing, called Jetpak. His dress, you can fly, and even shoot, aiming, as if you are outside of transport. So that you understand, in San Andreas, a total of about two hundred vehicles!

All transport is conditionally divided into the following categories: Cars, motorcycles, bicycles and aircraft. For each category, a separate skill is responsible. The more you ride, the better Karl it turns out. It is more visible on bicycles, and in the case of machines and motorcycles, high skill is the key to the stadium entrance. There is, however, another category - swimming agents, but there is no skill.

Starting with San Fierro, you can find special schools of extreme cargo, boats, motorcycles and aviation. Performing tasks in them, Si Jay improves its skills. At each school, you can get medals: bronze, silver and gold. If there is at least one bronze among them, then some kind of breakdown will always stand near the school. If there is no bronze, but there is silver, then something better will be added to the breakdown. And for gold - you can get really cool transport. So, for gold at the driving school, you can get the only game specimen " Hotknife.", based on Ford Model A. (1920-30s), which in the real world only a few units remained. And in flight school you can get a military helicopter at your disposal.

In addition to the usual painting station, you can visit the workshop, where most cars can be "pumping" in full. The replacement is subject to body parts, wheels, spoilers, can be installed on the cabriolets, a hydraulic suspension is installed on some machines, it is possible to install nitro-acceleration, separately select the color for the cabin and outdoor painting, and even choose a vinyl drawing!

Relations with the police from Karl differ little from "colleagues around the workshop" from previous games. Is that now for liberation from chase it is not necessary to look for an asterisk - you can hide out of sight, and then they will quickly go out themselves. Also, cops no longer use ribbons with spikes. But, generally speaking, thanks to the scale and expanses of San Andreas, the war with the forces of law enforcement here is Ortre and interesting as anywhere else!

If the previous games of the modifications series were just a lot, then to San Andreas - there are simply a lot of them! More than a few thousand. And after all, they still go out! Among them there are not only numerous replacements of cars, textures of everything and all, but even new locations with their own plots! Of course, the overwhelming majority of them have very low quality, but still. There are many mods on other games and universes, like numerous light swords. And the most interesting and original, in the opinion of the author are modifications containing Russian content - Soviet and Russian cars, clothes, and so on.

A separate line I want to mention a well-known supplement called ENBSERIES.. This is a graphical improvement that adds a lot of new graphics effects to the game, such as Scheders version 3.0 (in the game, only version 2.0 is used) and many others.

Nevertheless, the main achievement of folk craftsmen, you can safely call modifications that add multiplayer modes to the game. The most famous of them: Multi Theft AUTO and San Andreas Multiplayerwhich are also used on website (GTA.ru.) and support to hundreds (!!!) players at the same time! Fortunately, the scale of San Andreas is allowed.

In the desert near Las Venturas, near a number of huge satellite antennas, not far from Zone 69, you can find the ebony "at lil samples". Next to her, a flying saucer hinting on the contents of the tavern is spinning on the post. Inside, the walls are decorated with numerous UFO photography, and there is a certain device for the detection of UFO, as well as the San Andreas map with points marked on it.

It must be assumed from something that was born the idea that in GTA: San Andreas really should be a UFO! Or something otherworked, like Big Fut and Nesssey. Many players simply began to invent what was seen in the game or another strange event, forcing other players to spend time on checking these ridiculous legends. But you believe the word: no UFO in San Andreas is not! It's all just fiction. Yes, and no "zone 69" is also not, and can not. It is true, and be otherwise the government would not hide such information from its taxpayers.

Action occurs in Liberty City 1998, the game is a prequel to GTA III. The main hero is Tony Siprianialready familiar players GTA III. There in the future (relatively LCS.), he held a high position at Don Lyon and gave Claud. Tasks against the triad. He was also a real mamiene son: the elderly mother reported him even at subordinates. What is interesting, he seemed very complete, although he was not so yet in LCS. Apparently, mom fattened.

But back K. Liberty City Storms.. Here Tony only arrives in the city where the service comes to Don Salvatore and other Mafia bosses. Generally speaking, the plot campaign is pleased with the long - 70 missions. In addition to the Salvator, there are other old familiar: Donald Lav., Phil Cassidy, Maria Latators, « Eighth ball"I. Miguel (Colombian, in the future ally Catalins).

Interestingly, Liberty City here is not the way we see it in GTA III. Anyway, the difference in three years. To the great horror, the city's areas are still isolated from each other, but only the tunnels and the metro in the course of this game will not be completed. Like Callahan Bridge, through which you can cross only on the tramplines. It turns out that the islands were quite isolated from each other for quite a while and from the mainland. In addition, many buildings and institutions have undergone changes, which at different times belonged to different owners.

The following side missions were in LCS: the trash truck driver (delivery of bodies in a landfill), Karmageddon (Karmageddon, probably sending to the famous game -) - you need to arrest unrest on the fire engine, delivery of pizza, car sale (it is the sale, and not hijacking ), Sale of motorcycles, Liberty City Guide, "Angel Vesti" - a costume mission for catching the violators of order, shooting from the seating on a motorcycle along the specified machines. In addition, old friends are preserved: professional missions, flashes of rage, race, telephone missions, hijacking, unique jumps, collecting secret packages.

Generally speaking, it is amazing, but there are motorcycles in LCS! Later also explains their absence in GTA III - the public insisted on the ban on motorcycles. The arsenal was almost copied from GTA: San Andreas.

Grand Theft Auto IV

The first thing that rushes into the eye when looking at, it is graphics. At the time of the exit, the game was very technological and demanding to the gland. So, having bought a recent system unit for a thousand dollars, I had to put up with the fact that you do not see the maximum settings. However, a number of patches and brakes appeared for the game, for the most part, they disappeared, and the dynamic shadows were only more painted.

What is surprising, because before the games of the series have always seriously lagged behind others in terms of technology, taking scale and gameplay. This was primarily the weakness of the console PlayStation 2.Yes, and the scale was incomparable with other games. Now there were no such restrictions, PlayStation 3. and Xbox 360. Allowed to make a much more detailed and technological game world. The game used a new engine branded development: Rage (Rockstar Advanced Game Engine). He supported technology DirectX 9. And it used to the full coil. Also, the game had an outstanding physical model of transport behavior, and even certain destroyable objects. For the first time B. GTA. The work of the suspension was felt, and the machines received very realistic external damage.

In addition, an innovative technology was used in the game. Euphoria.on which the animation of the characters was made. For example, now with a frontal collision at high speed, you can fly through the windshield, constantly hitting objects, gradually losing speed and health. What can we talk about realistic pedestrians. Also, very high quality, a reaction was implemented on wounds from firearms.

The action of the game happens again in Liberty City. Not in the one that was in GTA III. IN GTA IV. New "Epoch" starts: the game no longer intersects with the events of the previous parts. There are no old characters in it, even references to them. Although at the same time the game has retained a lot of previously embossed parodies on brands. Mostly it includes the names of vehicles that are now unequivocally similar to some real models. Also preserved trendy brands trading, the names of the eaters like Burger Sheot. or Cluckin Bell., beverages Sprunk. and ecola., and much more.

New Liberty City is much more like a real New York, than ever. It is traditionally divided into three parts: a broker (based on Brooklyn), Algonquin (Manhattan) and Alderney (New Jersey). In addition to them, there are also "islets", like Buchana (Bronx), the largest of them, as well as the island of " Statue of happiness"(Parody on Statue of Liberty - in the game she has a face Hilary Clinton, and in hand holds a glass of coffee). All together they are connected by numerous bridges, tunnels and high railways. In addition, for the first time in the series, it became possible to take a taxi that could take you to any object marked on the map (including player labels anywhere in the map). The main hero was sitting in the car, chose the route and speed (faster - more expensive), after which the taxi began to go, and the player could look at the streets around, throughout the trip. Also at the helicopter station, you can order a tour of Liberty City from a bird's eye view. Well, or sob one, and inspect everything yourself.

The following problem was the subject of jokes and perturbations of the players: one taxi could drive in the city. Thus, it turned out when a shortage of RAM, the diversity of the traffic was directly depended on the number of gigabytes. However, so Liberty City became more like New York - there is also a lot of taxis.

The main character in Grand Theft Auto IV became an emigrant from Eastern Europe - Serb, by name Niko Belllik (In fact, Serbian surname Bellic reads Belich, but Blik is better for English hearing). He sails on the ship in the "country of great opportunities" to start life from a clean leaf. In the past, he happened to fight on this war, where he saw everyone, after which he began to see the world very cynically. And returning to his homeland, I could not find honest work - nobody wanted to take a soldier. Then he had to do criminal affairs - in particular smuggling, transportation of illegal goods, and even ... slaves. But one of the enterprises fell out, the ship sank along with all the goods. Niko miraculously managed to escape, but his boss, by name Ray Bulgarin, I considered that Niko should be money. And then he had to go to Liberty City, where in a luxurious mansion, surrounded by supermodels, and with many sports cars in the garage, for ten years he lives his cousin Roman Bellik. At least, so everything described in the letters he himself.

Stepping from the ship to solid land in the port of Liberty City, I find a novel, dirty, drunk and driving a taxi. Instead of the mansion, he lives in a dirty one-bedroom apartment, and from the cars he has only a taxi from his little taxi. Yes, and that is still just a miracle staying afloat: Roman owed money to the Roshovshchik, and also often played in the card. It is not difficult to guess that now NIKO will have to take care not only about himself, but also about the unborn cousin. The plan to start a new life quickly turns into the same blue dream as the novel mansion. He will have to work for a usurist, then on his boss, and then on drug dealers, mafia ... yes on anyone who has money.

Rockstar loves to disclose topics that are often silent. This time they appealed towards immigrants from Eastern Europe and Russia. South Buchana, the first of the game areas, is completely given to Russian. There are such places such as the Kabar "Perestroika" and the Bar "Comrades". Here, passersby on the street often speak Russian, with Nico or just by phone. And in the first store of clothing you can buy different types of workouts, and even a hat-of-ear with a sickle and a hammer on the forehead. As Niko notes, "this clothing looks as if brought from our homeland." A very pleasant feature of the game has become a radio station Vladivostok FM.where only domestic songs play! DJ made Ukrainian singer Ruslana, and rapper Serega Recorded an exclusive track for the game, called the "invasion".

GTA IV occupied quite a lot of gigabytes. To fit it, it took two two-layer DVDs. In fact, the lion's share went to music for radio and ... television. In his apartment, Niko can just sit in the chair or on the sofa, and start watching TV. It had several channels and television shows, including historical chronicles, animated series, glamor television shows and so on. All this was fulfilled on the engine's engine and voiced with actors. As well as all other in the game, television programs were filled with satire, parodies and just perky humor.

Two more important innovations are a mobile phone and the Internet. If earlier you could only get calls on the phone (and Claude had only a pager at all), now the functions have not become an example more. First, you can now call all familiar characters yourself. So you can invite a girl on a date, or a friend on the break. Another phone has a camera, the pictures of which can be saved. With the help of the mobile phone, you could enter the video editor and the multiplayer game mode. Well, even enter cheat codes.

If GTA: San Andreas and previous games only brought new missions into a series, then GTA IV most of them lost. Only only the tasks of the police and a taxi remained from the professional (for the Roman Taksopark). There are still numerous (although not so unique as in San Andreas) racing and tasks on the hijacking machines. The latter have now changed somewhat: a photo of the car and the name of the street comes to the phone Niko, where it stands. So the player had to initially identify the place and the car, and after to overtake it into the garage. Of the well-forgotten old mission, the missions received through a telephone machine, which were committed by registered killings. That's all. Unless, unique jumps and hidden things remained, in the role of which this time 200 pigeons ("flying rats" - Flying Rats - in the English version), spending when approaching, and which you need to shoot. To a great surprise, no one bonus in the form of free weapons after extermination of pigeons is not provided.

But not everything is so bad: many side tasks appeared with the plot. A lot of characters are placed on the streets who need help Niko Bellica. As a rule, the tasks are single-strokes - to pass, or kill someone. More interesting: during the main storyline there is the opportunity to save life "ordered" characters. In this case, you can find these characters somewhere in the city, and get the task from them.

Tusovka with friends also added to dates from the last part. Niko can get acquainted with friends during the plot. But girls will have to search on a dating site. And those and others practically do not differ, in fact, with the exception of the beginning (each girl has different tastes in terms of clothes and cars in Niko) and the final - Niko does not go home to the cup of coffee. The goal of these activities is to win the location in the numerical equivalent. When it becomes high, the characters begin to provide Niko services: Estrace well-paid work, bring and sell weapons with a discount (therefore, there is now practically no point in looking for it on the streets), he will charge a bomb to the car, will be off the police, organize a discount in the fashion store and in Such a spirit.

To organize a meeting, you need to call the character and specify the place where you intend to bring it (it). You need to meet with different characters at different times, because everyone has a different schedule of life, and if you wake them up, they are offended. Also, they themselves can call and invite to sweat. Dates and meetings can be held in the same places. In the eaters, in the club, in the bar, in the cabaret, where the show shows and even in the striptease club, where you need to order a private dance. There were also mini-games: Bowling, Billiards and Darts. For one meeting or a date you can visit several places, after which you need to take the character home.

The most profitable, in terms of improving relationships, is a trip to the bar. There, nico with a friend or girlfriend drink and begin to tell what they really think. At times very interesting. And at the exit both turn out to be drunk so much that they start to go back and constantly fall. Watch the car in this state is very hard - the camera swinging, the car itself turns where he wants, so also the police begins the chase, if he sees.

Because of this feature, the next small scandal broke out around GTA IV. Some people saw in this propaganda drunk ride. Allegedly, the game teaches people how to go by car, being in a state of intoxication. On the Internet even a video appeared: the man played GTA IV for two weeks, where he led the car drunk Niko. After that, he drank himself and tried to go by car in the game. Result: The game does not give any drunk driving skills.

In terms of customization of the main hero, GTA IV is very inferior to San Andreas. In Liberty City, there are no hairdressing and tattoo salons. Yes, the range of clothing stores does not affect the imagination. However, the campaign is more interesting in them: you can go to any product and try it. All clothes are still available in the wardrobe in the apartment of Niko.

In terms of Arsenal, the fourth part is again inferior to San Andreas in the amount of weapons of only 15 samples. Gifts and almost all kinds of cold and heavy weapons completely disappeared from Arsenal. See what it remains: Knife, Baseball Bit, Glock Pistols 22 and Desert Eagle, Ultrasound and SMG, Pumping and Combat Shotgun, AK-47 and M4, Two Sniper Rifles, RPG-7, Molotov Cocktail and Split Grenade.

But the combat system has undergone significant changes. First of all, this applies to the introduction of the popularity of the shelter system from. Niko and his enemies can fall almost any obstacle, including cars. Schedules have become much more realistic, tactful, although they lost at the same time in the excitement and dynamics. However, in free from missions, no one will prevent you from taking RPG and go to blow all the oncoming machines and helicopters, although in this case will live for long. However, it is no longer necessary to leave the car to open the sighting shooting. Niko can break the glass and launch a light weapon (a gun or a gun-machine gun), as well as throw grenades and incendiary mixtures. But as for the shooting: when holding the button, an eye appears on the screen, allowing to shoot 360 degrees, although it used to be only left and right.

Vehicles in GTA IV also became less. All managed airplanes, bicycles, amphibian on an air cushion, parachute, jetpak and even holy saints disappeared from the game. Nevertheless, we have left: cars, motorcycles, boats and helicopters. In GTA IV, they have never been similar to their real prototypes. It became completely obvious where Mercedes, Lamborgini or Ferrari. The physical model has also become much more realistic, the suspension works well, and the accidents have never looked so realistic. And also, from the game disappeared tuning. But the car wash was now added to the paint workshop. Well, will she displaced tuning and customization? Interesting features of transport in GTA IV include the appearance in GPS machines. During missions, the radar marks the shortest way to the goal. Also on the map you can set your own label. In expensive GPS machines even voiced, he can warn about turns in advance.

Military forces disappeared from the fourth part together with the tank. However, the police are also helping the FIB agents (FBI gaming analog) and special forces. And the search system itself has undergone major changes. On the radar during the chase you can notice a circle measuring the search zone. The higher the search level, the territory is greater. To get away from the police, you need to hide from the species, leave the marked zone and some time do not come across the eyes of the law enforcement. If NIKO is noted, the search area moves and centers on it. There are no more police stars, but you can still repaint the car. Now this action will rewind time six hours ahead.

Rockstar finally wanted common sense, and now they have developed a multiplayer mode for the game. It includes 15 interesting modes supporting up to 32 players. Among these regimes there are desmatches, races, performing mafia tasks, gangsters against cops, bandits against special forces, capture of control points, hunting for the "product", industrial hijacking, laying a bomb on the ship, and finally, good old "free regime".

A system was used as a multiplayer platform Microsoft Games for Windows Live. And there was also a mandatory registration in incomprehensible service. Rockstar Games Social Club. As copy protection - Securom. The game also built additional protection against NODVD, nicknamed by players is not otherwise like a "drunk camera and a brick on the pedal of gas." It was as follows: if the game decided that you are using nodvd, then sitting in the car, they soon found it smoking and with disconnected brakes, while the chamber rushed as after the adoption of alcohol! Justice for the sake of such a fate was avoided by all owners of licensed copies, in addition, they could download an alternative triggering file that allowed to run the game without a disk, saving a multiplayer. Registration of the game remains mandatory.

It is no secret that the most frequently produced fan's additions have always been new cars. Many of them you can see here in the screenshots. And if the already existing in the game was very similar to real, then what to talk about the fan models of transport, whose creators did not associate any legal restrictions. For example, now, by the will of the player, the car "Boneyshi" could be not just like Dodge Viper.She literally became her, as if it was.

You can also recall the real tuning created by the craftsmen, with blackjack, vinyl and neon backlight! Well, the most important thing is a huge number of graphic modifications. Self, looking at their screenshots, seriously doubt - and not a photo of it?

Grand Theft AUTO: Episodes from Liberty City - these are two large story supplements to the original Grand Theft Auto IV. The first of them is called THE LOST AND DAMNED, and the second - THE BALLAD OF GAY TONY.

The effect of episodes occurs in the same Liberty Citythat I. GTA IV.. The city is practically identical, with the exception of some important places. Supplements contain their own main characters, new characters and plot tasks. The link is a line of diamonds belonging to Ray Bulgarin. They slip out of his hands, after which they are trying to take possession of each of the heroes - Niko Belllik from GTA IV, Johnny Cleanits of Tlad. and Luis Lopez of Tbogt.For reasons. In addition, all three heroes are also associated with a large drug party, which are closely monitored by the police. Together, three plots form one, shedding light on many white spots, in the plots of each other. According to the duration of the plot lines, each addition is about 1/3 of the plot of GTA IV.

In addition, they add to the game some new features, such as mini-games, additional tasks, new weapons and transport. As well as new websites on the Internet, new programs on TV and new tracks on the radio, including several new radio stations. What is interesting, in episodes all areas of the city are originally and are available for research, unlike GTA IV.

According to the author, Episodes from Liberty City is a great addition that the majority of claims have leveled. It greatly expanded his capabilities, diversified arsenal and park of vehicles. In addition, GTA IV, together with episodes, forms a common story. Each of the heroes has its own point of view on Liberty City. Niko Bellik - an immigrant who is trying to take root in an unfamiliar world without having friends and relatives here, with the exception of cousin, and not owning a peaceful profession. Johnny Cleanits - Biker, for which the motorcycle and well-being of his gangs "lost" are the meaning of existence. The atmosphere in Tlada is so thick that you start to get into your role - a harsh biker, despising four-wheeled transport and Japanese fakes, and the Liberty Rock Radio must play on the radio. Luis Lopez in turn sees Liberty City as one big glamorous jam, full of majors, fagots and whores. Playing for him, you begin to invite only sports cars and dress in expensive costumes. The most wonderful in the ballad is that it has returned a tank in the game!

For many, it became a surprise that Rockstar was originally released the first episode, The Lost and Damned, exclusively for Xbox 360. Only many months later, only an announcement of porting on PC and PS3 appeared. History repeatedly and with the second supplement, The Ballad of Gay Tony. In Russian, two options for episodes have been published: Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City - it contains two workable episodes, without the original GTA IV, as well as in the "full publication", where they were both episodes and the original GTA IV. However, 1C again translated only the text, and besides, not the best way, you can find much more high-quality fan rusifiers.

Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned

The plot "" starts at the time when Niko Belllik starts working on Mikhail Faustina. This is evidenced by the story of one of the bikers that he meets with a daughter of some Russian, who is Mr. Faustin.

The main character of the game, Johnny Clean (yes, he is a Jew), is the vice president of the Biker club The Lost. "Lost" is a real gang of armed thugs, preferring motorcycles like Chopper. They are armed with not some doubles, but a true firearm. It is necessary to protect against other gangs, or to attack them, then it will work out. The gang has its own club The Lost Liberty - with drinking, strippers, a billiard table and other attributes of the Biker Club. Johnny sleeps right here, on the mattress in the subsidiary, where the computer and TV are also located.

The President of the Club and Gang is Billy, who just comes out of prison, after passing the course of rehabilitation. Before his return, Johnny coped well with the duties of the manager: he agreed on the world with another powerful gang - "Death Angels", and also supported the business on the afloat. But now, after the return of Bill, he again takes over the brethren's brars, the first thing announcing the "Angels of Death" war. He also forces Johnny to perform black work for Jewish mafia. Thus, in the game a lot of attention is paid to the confrontation of Johnny and Bill. Other gang members also have their own attitude towards both leaders.

The first and most important innovation in Tlada, this appearance of his own gang, ready to appear on the revenue of the first call. These are not faceless clones, like in GTA: San Andreas. You will know the name of each of them, and even ... level. Levels accumulate for survival during raids on enemy gangs, which were also added to Tlad. The deceased comrade is replaced by a newcomer, leaving behind the photograph on the wall, in the club Gang Band.

If the gang left, then the accompanying Johnny will try to go behind him in strict combat order. Also, in some missions, Johnny himself needs to go after Billy, in this case it will restore health and armor, and can also speak with other bikers traveling nearby.

In addition to the "combat comrades", Johnny also has friends with whom he can spend time. From the very beginning they can provide services - customized motorcycles and weapons.

To entertainment and competitions, Aerohokki was added. In addition, the club can be played in the "bigger-smaller" card game and compete in Arreensling. And in the city you can take part in biker races in which you can also use a battle. What is interesting, Johnny does not attend shops. Change its club leather jacket is impossible, and why? It would be ridiculous. The interface was also subjected to changes, it "aged" and acquired in detail. In addition, the city's palette has greatly changed: now she is completely yellowish-gray, and little is disturbing. And instead of pigeons, now you need to kill 50 chas, the innovation motorcycle will be available as a reward.

Addition TLAD is primarily devoted to motorcycles. Therefore, it is not surprising that they were added most of all - as much as 17 pieces. Near Johnny Club is always waiting for his faithful chopper - "Witcher" (Hexer). In addition, 4 cargo cars and 2 passengers were added.

The branded and first accessible weapons of Johnny became the edge of biting, which was not in the original GTA IV. Besides, it was also added: a billiard cue, a new semi-automatic gun, an assault shotgun, shooting a queue, a real grenade launcher, shooting 40mm shells flying on Parabole, and self-made explosives.

Supplement also touched a multiplayer regime, adding five new types of competitions at once: the chase of the armed helicopter for a motorcycle (in the English version of the word game - Chopper VS. Chopper), a number of tasks for the club, "Wolf Hunt" - when all players try to kill one biker , Bang war behind the territory, and the last - the battle of "lost" against the police special forces.

Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad Of Gay Tony

"" Begins at the moment when Niko Bellik, together with the Makriri family, robbed Liberty City Bank.

"Ballad" is entirely devoted to all glamorous and dirty. Gay Tony, he is Blue Tony, he is Anthony Prince, the owner of two nightclubs in Liberty City, one for blue, and second for heterosexuals. But we play, fortunately, not for him, but for his bodyguard and partner Luis Lopez, Latin American orientation. Louis helps Tony, working in the clubs of the bouncer and performing many illegal cases according to his decree. The fact is that Tony there and Syam owed a lot of money, and if he does not pay, it can lose his business. In addition, Louis has to take care of his relatives and friends, which then fall into trouble.

A distinctive feature of "ballads" is a bias to the side of realism. Unlike GTA IV and Tlad, it is no longer trying to be serious. TBOGT In this regard, much more reminds Vice City and San Andreas. She is bright, colorful and very cheerful. Finally, she returned the tank! Almost. The BTR is an armored personnel carrier with a tower installed on him with a large-caliber weapon. It is much faster than any tank, and also has high rapidity, so it is just great for the guidance of the rustle in Liberty City.

In the "Balland" Rockstar continued to actively attract the shortage of side missions in the original. Thus, "drugs" were added - tasks for transportation of drugs, for the implementation of every ten pieces in which weapons were delivered to the Luis apartment. In the native district of Luis, hand-to-hand fights without rules are held, in which you can participate for money. There was an opportunity to play a real golf. And the "triathlon" here is not the same as in San Andreas: first Louis jumps with a parachute, then sits down into the boat and floats on it to the car, on which he finishes. Yes, a parachute returned. New tasks are also associated with it - it is necessary to fly through the "crown" marked in the air, after which they land in the specified place, or even on a moving truck. It is also worth mentioning work in a nightclub. Louis can stand on duty bouncer. Also there is a mini-game with champagne drinking, and still dancing (again with the San Andreas handle with the pen), where you can pick up a girl.

Weapon, which Louis is originally carrying with you, is a very powerful gun.44 caliber. Also added: shotgun with discontinuous bullets, assault gun-machine gun, gold (!!!) ultrasound, handmade machine gun, new improved sniper rifle and velcro bomb. In addition to weapons, several dozen vehicles, music tracks, have also been added to the game, and several changes were made to multiplayer regime.

- This is a game for portable platforms, at first the exclusive for Nintendo DS. History Liberty City of GTA IV. does not end on Episodes. Act GTA: Chinatown Wars happens a year after the events of the fourth part, in 2009. "Wars in the Chinese Quarter" uses the areas of Broker, Bohan and Algonquin, but Alderney was cut out. The main character, Huang Lie, I flew to Liberty City by plane to pass the uncle's sword of my deceased father, the former boss of the Triad to strengthen the position of the family. But he did not have time to go down from the ladder, as he landed into an armed ambush, was abducted and almost killed. In the Chinese quarter, war is brewing the power in which Juan Li will have to be directly involved. The primary release of DS games could not but affect the graph and the gameplay. So, although the graphics in the game were three-dimensional, but the camera was isometric with a view from above, but with the possibility of horizontal rotation of 360 degrees. In addition, externally, the game looks very cartoon. The plot was transferred in the form of a non-voiced comic. The gameplay of Chinatown Wars places is different from other games of the series. So, to catch a car from the parking lot, you need to go through a mini-game that will be varied depending on the age of the car. Something similar was announced for GTA IV, but the release disappeared from the game. I must say that for the plot tasks they pay very poorly. To appreciate the whole tragedy: Juan can dig in the garbage tanks in search of food, as well as money, weapons and drugs. Also Juan is forced to go to the drug business, buying and reselling goods, finding other dealers using the PDA. You can also try to win the lottery. In addition, the game was attended ambulance, police, taxis, racing, hijacking machines and random meetings. In the game, there is a multiplier on two Chelawakes (Croin is not enough (Nada Istcho)). Six (or moving ya scored): Danka, racing championship, hijacking van (it can only go to one), wars for the territory, or on one side, or against each other and, finally, Dezmatch but there is no DiVew. In addition, the game supported social opportunities Rockstar Games Social Club.
