What does the American dream mean today? For Niko Bellic fresh off the boat from Europe, it is the hope he can escape from 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 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.

crappy console port with hundreds of bugs. Not even my mouse works. i tried 3 different mice. they are treated as thumbsticks. well done, Rockstar! lots of patches, none of them fixed any of my problems. I was really ****** (and still am). once you have beaten the game there is nothing to do in liberty city. there are no "activities" as it says on the dvd box. its a dead city.

playing this game with all these bugs and with no properly working mouse was a PAIN.

i spent 1000 hours with this stupid game (800 hours modding, 200 hours playing). i would rate this game 7/10. But since it gets really great once you install the right mods i rate it 8/10.
