Grand Theft Auto IV
- GTA 4 - The Story: 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 find fortune in Liberty City, gateway to the land of
opportunity. As they slip into debt and get 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, and is heaven for those who have
them and a living nightmare for those who don't.
