What does the American Dream mean today? For Niko Bellic, fresh off the boat from Europe, it is the hope he can escape his past. For his cousin, Roman, it is the vision that together they can find fortune in Liberty City, gateway to the land of opportunity.As they slip into debt and are dragged into a criminal underworld by a series of shysters, thieves and sociopaths, they discover that the reality is very different from the dream. In a city that worships money and status, life is heaven for those who prosper and a living nightmare for those who don't. Developed by the superstar designers at Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto IV continues the exciting legacy of the Grand Theft Auto franchise.

Emtpy Sandbox Game
on July 6, 2008
Posted by: Variety
This game doesn't improve enough upon the clunky controls and tedious mission structure of the previous games. The game revolves around doing errands for criminals. This leads to countless hours of driving back and forth across town to pick someone up or move to an objective. It is initially impressive to see the large open environment, but there is no variety to the gameplay from one area to the next.
What's great about it: Large, open environment
What's not so great: Clunky controls and tedious mission structure
I would recommend this to a friend!
