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.

This game would probably take me years to finish if I played it by the rules, but I just want to roam around, steal cars, shoot people, and explore. The graphics and entertainment are great. I can tell this game will last me for years and I am not even going on the mission, but instead just want to run around, explore, and get into trouble.
I definitely recommend you Google for cheat codes. I found a lot of weapons and cheats which I will use to make the game easier and more fun.
I found GTA for the PS2 much easier to use. It was easier to drive and run around. The camera angle on GTA for the PS3 is very annoying at default. I know it will take time to get a feel for this game.
What's great about it: Graphics and entertainment value - plus exploring & not following the rules
What's not so great: Camera angle while driving sucks & I found GTA for PS2 easier to use
