Like previous GTA games, a police helicopter pursues the player at a three-star wanted level, but this is replaced by a helicopter gunship at the five-star wanted level, though it utilises sharp-shooters rather than its mounted gatling guns. In GTA 4, the Police are assisted by NOOSE (National Office of Security Enforcement - a parody of DHS ) officers at a three-star wanted level, who in turn are again assisted randomly by either NOOSE's Tactical Response Unit (a parody of the NYPD ESU) or FIB (Federal Investigation Bureau - a parody of the FBI) at a five-star wanted level and beyond. In previous GTA titles, as wanted level rose the player was pursued by increasingly well-armed and violent agencies, culminating with the Army at the highest wanted level. Although their star levels are retained (which increase with the number or severity of criminal acts by the player, with corresponding increases in law enforcement interference), the law enforcement agencies which may pursue the player have changed, with the focus on making them more realistic. The Wanted Level system has changed from previous GTA games. Niko retains his weapons after re-spawning at a hospital, which previously only occurred in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories and in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. If Niko's health level reaches zero, the action stops, and he re-appears at the nearest hospital having lost 10% of his total wealth (up to $10,000). Body armour is gradually damaged by gunshots and explosions. Health is generally reduced by physical injuries, such as being hit by vehicles when walking, being thrown through the windscreen of a vehicle when crashing, and gunfire or explosions and stab wounds. If Niko is injured, he can recover health by eating, drinking soda, sleeping, using medical kits, using his mobile phone to call for paramedics, calling one of his girlfriends for medical advice, or using the services of a prostitute. There are more hand-to-hand combat moves than in past games in the series, namely punching, kicking, 'alternative' punching, dodging and blocking, disarming an opponent, and counter-attacking. When locked on a target, their health and (if applicable) armour level appears in the target circle. Niko's health is shown by a green semicircle on the left side of the mini-map, while a blue semicircle on the right represents armour. Additionally, Niko can perform 'cinematic executions', only possible with a pistol to certain characters/situations when the target circle blinks red. Individual body parts can also be targeted.

The player can slide to cover, target a specific person, blindfire, and free aim. Gunfights in GTA IV are conducted using a third-person system. Combat and police responseД¬ombat in Grand Theft Auto IVhas been reworked to include a cover system. Which of the game's two different endings occurs is determined by one of these choices. Grand Theft Auto IV also contains so-called ' morality choices' at several points throughout the game, which alter the storyline appropriately depending on the player's choice. The player can also attempt a variety of optional side missions. It is possible to have multiple active missions, as some missions run over the course of several days and require the player to wait for further instructions or events. When not attempting a storyline mission, players can free-roam, giving them the ability to do activities. Although storyline missions are necessary to progress through the game and unlock certain content and parts of the city, they are not required, as players can complete them at their own leisure.

The open, non-linear environment allows players to explore and choose how they wish to play the game. Grand Theft Auto IV takes advantage of Natural Motion's Euphoria engine, which combines artificial intelligence, bio-mechanics and physics to make NPC behaviour and movement adaptive and more realistic. Players can steal and drive a variety of vehicles, including automobiles, boats, helicopters, and motorcycles.

On foot, the player character can walk, run, jump, climb over obstacles and swim, as well as use weapons and perform basic hand-to-hand combat. Much like its predecessors, the core gameplay of Grand Theft Auto IV consists of giving the player a large, open world environment in which to move around.
