In Grand Theft Auto IV you take the role of Niko Bellic, an Eastern European who begins the game by traveling to Liberty City in hopes that his cousin Roman has strong financial prospects for him. It is immediately discovered that Roman, despite his promises, merely runs a Taxi company, and needs Niko to act as a strongarm for him in various shady dealings.The game then proceeds into the classic Grand Theft Auto formula: you encounter numerous shady characters, embark on missions involving drugs, robberies, cash, etc. The game reportedly takes about 40 hours to complete the main campaign, and an additional 25 hours for all of the additional side quests, for a total of 65 hours of gameplay.
