The wait is finally over. Rockstar has unleashed upon the gaming world the third trailer for guaranteed gangster smash hit Grand Theft Auto IV on the PS3 and Xbox 360, and you can see it in all its glory on our video player.

GTA4 is one of 2008's most anticipated games, with a pre-release hype level that is already reaching bursting point. Rockstar know they have a hot game on their hands when a simple trailer stops the Internet dead in its tracks.

Although game details are thin on the ground what we do know is that the story will focus on Eastern European immigrant Niko Bellic and his prevails in Liberty City, which fans will remember as the setting of 2001's GTAIII on PS2.

We've still got no firm idea when the game will be released, but it's expected between February and April 2008. We can't wait. For an in-depth look into what the trailer reveals check out our GSI: Game Scene Investigation GTA IV feature.
