Throughout the single-player mode, players control Niko Bellic. The game is played from a third-person perspective and its world is navigated on foot or by vehicle. The open-world design lets players freely roam Liberty City, consisting of three main islands. Set within the fictional Liberty City, based in New York City, the single-player story follows Eastern European war veteran Niko Bellic and his attempts to escape his past while under pressure from high-profile criminals. It is the first main entry in the Grand Theft Auto series since 2004’s Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Grand Theft Auto IV (GTA 4) is a 2008 action-adventure game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games.
