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.

This is a great game, not one I'd recommend for younger children, obviously for ts mature theme, but a blast for older players. Each vehicle handles in it's own unique way and there's no rushed feel to completing the game if you'd rather just drive, or fly, or pilot a boat around for awhile. The graphics are stunning and the story, while dark, is often humorous. If you don't own this game, you should.
What's great about it: Excellent gameplay, good story, lots of replay-ability
What's not so great: Camera can be a bit quirky, can't quite get the angle I'd prefer while driving
