Grand Theft Auto IV is an action game developed for the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. It has been rated "Mature" by the ESRB, indicated that it is intended for an audience over 17 years of age. The "Mature" rating was designated for its content; Intense Violence, Blood, Strong Language, Strong Sexual Content, Partial Nudity, Use of Drugs and Alcohol.
According to the UK's BBFC, "the character can pick up prostitutes and pay for three levels of service. What follows is an un-detailed portrayal of masturbation, fellatio, and intercourse. The character can also visit lap-dancing clubs and request a private dance. While the game contains sexualized dancing and the portrayal of sex, there is no sexualized nudity." Niko, the main character, also has the ability to "get drunk" in the bars of Liberty City. While intoxicated, his senses and coordination are impaired. Both the controls, and the game's camera are dramatically affected.

Story
Set in Liberty City, a fictionalized version of New York City, Grand Theft Auto IV centers on Niko Bellic, an Eastern European immigrant pursuing the "American Dream." The game presents a satirical view of modern day America and pokes fun at social and economic issues, liberals and conservatives, and criminals and law enforcement. Violence is an integral part of the game and current technology allows it to display in very realistic fashion. -
