Grand Theft Auto IV

Grand Theft Auto IV tells the somber story of Niko Bellic, an Eastern European immigrant who arrives in Liberty City to chase the "American Dream" and escape a past filled with regret. On PC, PS3, and Xbox 360, the game set a new benchmark for open-world detail, featuring a highly reactive environment where every collision and gunshot feels impactful. Beyond the main story, the game introduced a functional in-game internet, a mobile phone system for mission management, and a physics-based driving model that challenged players to master the weight of their vehicles. It remains a fan favorite for its deep narrative, complex characters, and the atmosphere of a living, breathing metropolis.
