GTA IV back cover discovered

Published at 5:04 AM PST

When I saw the dummy covers at my local EB Games, I was surprised to see how detailed they were. In fact at first I mistook it for being the finished copy, obviously I was wrong as I soon realized. However a lucky GameSpot user has discovered the official back cover for the games box at Curry's (UK gaming store apparently).

The back of the cover says:

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

The cover also reveal that the PlayStation 3 version of the game can run at 1080p, which means a HD experience, just like a movie, only playable. (Click the image below to see what were on about here.)

Most likely you have seen the back cover already, word goes most UK and American stores have got the final cover out on show. For those elsewhere, this is a little treat.
