Grand Theft Auto IV Guide

Liberty City 
Liberty City is divided into four boroughs: Algonquin, Dukes, Broker, and Bohan. And then there’s Alderney, located across the West River from the great towers of Algonquin. Taken together, these areas from one of the densest, most vital urban centres in the world. It's a place where dreams come to flourish or die. Niko Bellic is an Eastern European ex-soldier haunted by memories and seeking a new start. Thus he comes to visit his cousin Roman and sample the American dream.

Vehicles
Liberty City is like a big, teeming car lot, laid out in a nice grid for your selection. .237 vehicles sit bumper to bumper in traffic, just waiting to be jacked. You can't beat free transportation. Watch out, though—some fools won't give up their ride without a fight. Check our Points of Interest maps for locations of three auto dealerships where you can find everything from a fine Italian sports car to a faster-than-lightning sport bike.

Weapons
There's nothing like a sweet gun, except maybe a bigger gun. Liberty City is the assault weapons capital of the world. What walking tour would be complete without a short browse through the back alley gun shops that make the city such a safe haven? Here's a quick rundown of the weapons available for use in Grand Theft Auto IV. For all free Weapon locations in the city, check our Liberty City Maps section of this book—these are also featured on our mission maps in the Main Story Walkthrough. Keep in mind that the most convenient way to acquire weapons is by keeping Little Jacob's friendship, but the cheapest method is to just find them lying around.

Police Wanted Levels
Cops are a fact of life in Liberty City. Apparently, it's against city law to pull folks out of their cars, punch them, and then drive away in their vehicles. Other stuff is illegal, too—shooting guns in public, ramming police cruisers, killing people, and so forth.When you break the law in plain sight of police, you earn a Wanted Level. There are six of these levels, indicated by the number of stars highlighted in the upper-right corner of the screen. The more stars, the more you're wanted, and the more cops and eventually federal N.O.O.S.E. (National Office of Security Enforcement) agents deploy to hunt you down.Even in the early going you can get a full Wanted Level of six stars without opening any other islands. If you try to travel to another, unlocked island, your Wanted Level will automatically bump up to six stars. Ouch!

Health & Body Armour
"Protection" is so important on so many levels of meaning. But perhaps the most important protection you can have in a place like Liberty City is hardcore Type IV tactical body armour in the form of a ballistic vest You can purchase Body Armour at any reputable (or disreputable) gun shop in the city or from Little Jacob when he becomes your friend. But you'll also find free Body Armour stashed in unlikely places as you go about your business. You can also get a small amount of armour when you enter a N.O.O.S.E. Enforcer. The same is true of the First Aid Kits that can bring a wounded warrior back from the brink. You can find them in many of the places you'll visit in Liberty City... often just when you need them most. Local hospitals tend to stock the kits as well. You can also restore health by making purchases from soft drink machines (Sprunk and eCola), hot dog & nut stands, and restaurants. And if all else fails, you can always dial 911 and ask for paramedic assistance, but they will charge a fee. You can even get your health back from hookers, who now offer three different services!

Characters
A number of recurring characters appear in the video game Grand Theft Auto IV, set circa 2008. The characters that appear in Grand Theft Auto IV are relatively diverse and relative to the respective boroughs of Liberty City they are based in, belonging to various gangs and ethnic groups. The player controls Niko Bellic, a Serbian veteran of the Bosnian War. According to Dan Houser, "virtually none of the characters from the previous games are returning, as a lot of them are dead anyway." This is further enhanced in-game by graffiti on a section of wall in the city, featuring each of the previous protagonist's names alongside messages such as "R.I.P", "We miss you" and "We'll never forget you" suggesting that they have indeed died prior to the events of GTA IV.

Building Comparisons
It's widely known that the Liberty City that we've come to know and love is based on the American metropolis of New York City. Unfortunately, the Liberty City that was first implemented in GTA3 only vaguely resembles its real-world counterpart. Rockstar intends to wipe the slate clean with GTA IV, bringing forth a new and improved Liberty City that should make any New Yorker feel right at home. But just how far has Rockstar come in creating a New York doppelganger – we show you the comparisons between GTA IVs building and the real ones.
