Police Stars Tomáš Rezler | translated by: Matt & Carl Caas | 16.02.2009
One star. You have it almost all the time :-). You can get rid of it very quickly – there are only police cars on you. One-star “wanted level” will occur, either by for driving drunk, shooting in the air, shooting a citizen of Liberty City, or stealing a car while seen by the LCPD. In addition, the star will appear if you rob a store. You can get one star by carrying corpses in your trunk (see the mission “Have a Heart”). The blue circle that you see on your radar is small; you can get out of it fast.
Two stars are a bit harder than one, but you can escape this nearly without a problem. You are chased again by police cars. However, unlike with one star, the cops don’t care about you – they shoot at you , so be careful not to get a bullet in yourself. Two-star “wanted level”, still no problem.
With three stars, frantic escaping from the LCPD will start. Getting rid of a three-star “wanted level” is pretty hard because, besides LCPD cars, you are chased by police Hummers, and SWAT is shooting one bullet after another from a helicopter above. Still, if you stay cool and you step on the gas peddle, you can get rid of the pursuit.
Four stars. You will hopefully reach this only in a mission, where it is supposed to occur, or when you screw around a lot. You can escape from four stars, but it is more complicated—cops are on every corner, and every cop has a weapon (in the best case, a pistol / in the worse case, a shotgun).
You can earn five stars either in a mission or by constantly killing innocent or guilty people :-). Five stars will appear when you find a web page with child porn in the Internet café. You must pay for this hideousness :-). Again, in classic style, police cars, Hummers, choppers, and armored trucks are chasing you.
The highest “wanted level” in GTA 4, like in previous GTA games – 6 stars. It’s amazing – police cars, hummers, armored trucks, choppers, simply the ENTIRE police force is going after you. To achieve this “wanted level”, you may, for example, complete a mission where 6 stars is part of the story. Another way to get this number of stars is by going into a city that is still locked. What else is there to say—we hope you are successful and you won’t get busted!
