Grand Theft Auto IV (also referred to as GTA IV or GTA4) is the eleventh Grand Theft Auto game in the series. The game was developed by Rockstar North, and was published and released by Rockstar Games. It was relased to widespread hype and mysticality on April 29th, 2008, scoring a unanimous set of perfect reviews. No PC version of the game has been announced, although one is expected a few months after the first release.

GTA IV is powered by Euphoria, Endorphin physics engine. This new physics engine gives characters a "central nervous system" allowing more natural, unscripted movements. It also adds weight to each characters footsteps and causes them to transition when walking up or down hill. Although the size of the map is no bigger than San Andreas, the detail of the city has been enriched to a unique depth. There is no "wasted" open space, and every inch of the city tells a story.

Storyline

"Life is complicated; I killed people, smuggled people, sold people.
Perhaps here, things will be different."

Grand Theft Auto IV is set in 2008 in a redesigned Liberty City based on New York. Niko Bellic is an Eastern European that has come to America to find a better life, following the the advice of his cousin Roman; however, when he arrives, he finds that Roman has been lying - he isn't rich, he isn't popular, and he's actually in a load of trouble. Niko has been duped to solve Roman's problems, and soon ends up in trouble himself.
