Grand Theft Auto IV, Metacritic's 2008 PS3 Game of the Year, is an action-adventure game set in Liberty City. Players take on the role of Niko Belic, a recent immigrant from Europe who has come to America with his cousin Roman in pursuit of their version of the "American Dream". Unfortunately, they find themselves quickly drawn into a criminal underworld full of unscrupulous characters and caught up in heavy debt. The game follows Niko as he navigates this seedy city filled with money and status-obsessed citizens while trying to escape his past and make something for himself. Developed by Rockstar Games, GTA IV offers players an immersive experience where they can explore Liberty City and all its inhabitants as they work towards achieving their own version of success.
