Grand Theft Auto IV - “Niko Bellic” Trailer & IGN Review - 20 New Screenshots & Gameplay Footage!

The official Grand Theft Auto IV website has been updated, and it comes with a new trailer focusing on Niko Bellic. The trailer shows the emotional side of Niko Bellic. “During the War, they did some bad things, and bad things happened to us. I was very young, and very angry. Maybe that is no excuse, but I needed money. This pays, and I’m good at it. The creature that could do this, doesn’t have a soul…”, says Niko Bellic in the trailer. Emotional, huh? Whatever it is, you’ve gotta watch it! You can watch it in High-Definition over at GameTrailers.

IGN: “Drive around Liberty City and you’ll be able to identify each individual block. Though Liberty is filled with brownstones and a myriad of similar brick buildings, you can tell one from the other, just as you can in New York. Go to an affluent neighborhood and the street is likely to be newly paved, the pedestrians better dressed, the cops more plentiful. But head to Dukes or Bohan and you’ll find streets nearly stripped of asphalt, homeless people wandering about aimlessly and criminals preying on the weak.

Watch the people and you’ll witness some amazing things. At one point, I saw a woman stopped at a light, looking in the rearview mirror right before she was rear-ended by a man ogling a girl on the street. The man got out of his car and went to the woman, checking to see if she was okay. This had nothing to do with Niko or a single action I took. These were the citizens of Liberty City going about their day. And it was just one moment in a day full of incidents.

Hang in one area of the city long enough and you’ll see how traffic and pedestrian flow changes as the day progresses. When it rains, people bring out umbrellas or shield themselves with a newspaper and run for an awning. Cops chase petty thieves unaware that walking down the street is Niko Bellic, cold-blooded killer. There’s a perfect balance of mumbling doomsayers to remind you that the reason this city never sleeps is because it’s full of nut jobs. People go about their day, only altering course when Niko inserts himself into their lives with his crappy driving or excellent marksmanship.”

IGN’s Final Verdict: 10/10 - “One of the best games ever”
