Grand Theft Auto Series Grand Theft Auto IV
Grand Theft Auto Series Grand Theft Auto IV
by Rockstar Games. It is the first main entry in the Grand Theft Auto series since 2008's Grand Theft
Auto IV. Set within the fictional state of San Andreas, based on Southern California, the single-
player story follows three criminals and their efforts to commit heists while under pressure from a
government agency and powerful crime figures. The open world design lets players freely roam San
Andreas' open countryside and the fictional city of Los Santos, based on Los Angeles.
The game is played from either a third-person or first-person perspective, and its world is navigated
on foot or by vehicle. Players control the three lead protagonists throughout single-player and switch
among them, both during and outside missions. The story is centred on the heist sequences, and
many missions involve shooting and driving gameplay. A "wanted" system governs the aggression of
law enforcement response to players who commit crimes. Grand Theft Auto Online, the
game's online multiplayer mode, lets up to 30 players engage in a variety of
different cooperative and competitive game modes.
Additional products expected for fiscal 2006 include the newly announced Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories for
PlayStation 2, tentatively planned for release in the second quarter, Bully for PlayStation 2 and Xbox, two new titles for the
PSP handheld system, including an all-new Grand Theft Auto, a title based on a new brand for the Xbox 360 and a sequel
of a Rockstar brand, all from Rockstar Games; The Da Vinci Code, Prey, and 24: The Game from 2K Games; various other
sports titles including NBA 2K7 from 2K Sports; and Family
