It's Your Call

Overview

It's Your Call is the second mission in Grand Theft Auto IV. At Roman's cab depot Niko meets Mallorie and catches his first glimpse of the loan shark Vlad Glebov, who threatens him after Niko stares him down. Roman then takes Niko for a drive around Broker, during which Niko receives his first mobile phone and the cousins are chased by the Albanian loan sharks Roman owes money to.

Walkthrough

1. Watch the cutscene at the cab depot, then get into Roman's car.
2. Drive Roman to the locations he asks for while he shows off the neighbourhood.
3. When the Albanians appear and chase you, lose them by driving fast and taking tight turns through the streets of Broker.
4. Return Roman to the depot. Roman gives Niko a phone, which becomes the main way to receive and start missions.

Tips

• Use the handbrake for sharp corners and cut through alleys to shake the pursuers.
• The pursuing car is not armed, so focus on driving rather than fighting.
• Explore the phone menu afterwards: contacts, messages and the option to call people are all used throughout the game.

Rewards and unlocks
