When it comes to game-mechanics, GTA IV has little in common with San Andreas. Many of the silly, unrealistic weapons have been sacrificed for the sake of realism. Players are not be able to mow down cars with the Minigun or the Radar-guided Missile Launcher anymore. | When it comes to game-mechanics, GTA IV has little in common with San Andreas.

The lack of airplanes is also rumored to be because of Rockstar not wanting a reenactment of the events of 9/11 in the game, as GTAIV takes place in a recreation of New York.
