Grand Theft Auto IV Description

The open-world crime epic returns to the PlayStation 3. Grand Theft Auto IV gives players the ability to do nearly anything in a huge virtual city: everything from exploring seedy neighborhoods to visiting strip clubs to shooting Mafia goons. You play as Niko, an immigrant with a dark secret. Grand Theft Auto IV has been one of the best-reviewed games of the decade, garnering wild critical acclaim for its dazzling graphics, fluid controls, and mature storyline. A new online mode extends the possibilities for years to come with over a dozen game play styles, from racing to deathmatch.

Mature Titles rated "Mature (M)" have content suitable for persons ages 17 and older. These products may include more intense violence or language than products in the Teen category. In addition, these titles may also include mature sexual themes.
