Good news for all the blood thirsty fans of Grand Theft Auto!

This game that has revolutionized the games world when the first edition came out is back again and full of the sweet violence that the fans love.

For all the fans, GTA IV comes with an excellent storyline and a game play to be intensely devoured.

Despite the protests from parental organizations the game is coming into the market and is rated for people over 17 year old.

It will be featuring beatings, carjackings, shootings, drunk driving, hooking up with prostitutes among other stuff.

“A lot of it is done just tongue-in-cheek. It has that same sense of humor (as past games) that is very juvenile but at the same time is a parody of American culture,” said the senior executive editor of video games for the 1UP Network, Crispin Boyer.

The previous version of the game managed to be the biggest entertainment product of the year making just in the first week sales of up to $400 million.

GTA is a precious game for Take-two Interactive Software because if it is successful, it will increase the offer made by Electronics Arts, which is of $2 billion to takeover Take-two Software.

Geoff Keighley which is the host of Spike TV’s Game Trailers TV show stated about the newcomer GTA IV: “Grand Theft Auto 4″ revolves around an Eastern European immigrant who ends up running illicit errands for local mob bosses.

Yet the game is not without moral consequence. Players face tough choices regarding who lives or dies and whether ambition is more important than friendship, decisions that affect the outcome of the story.

“Grand Theft Auto 3,” debuted in 2001 and was seen as a new beginning for the franchise because it defined a new genre of “open world” games that gave players unprecedented freedom. Two unnumbered games in the series have launched since, each with lots of sales, and lots of controversy.

“‘Grand Theft Auto’ really speaks to a new age of gaming. It’s a type of gaming that is culturally relevant,”

By the great reviews and by my own experience in the previous games I can only advise you to run to the stores tomorrow and try to buy your future brand new GTA IV.

Just to clear your mind of any doubts that you may have you can check this amazing video of the game.
