Story
Michael Falcone has spent eight years away from his birthplace in America, Liberty City. He has lived across Europe, working with the continent wide Counter Terrorist Unit. After getting a well deserved retirement from the CTU, Michael decides to return to Liberty City. He expects the "American Dream", living rich, settling down and running a successful business. His brother Kevin runs a car business, claiming his business does jobs for Audi, BMW and Lamborghini. Michael arrives to the city by boat and is welcomed by Kevin. However, the dream is far away for Kevin. His car business is failing as it hires workers who still get paid for doing nothing. The cars are not even working too. Kevin also lives in a rundown apartment, so small though. Michael decides to help Kevin get the business up and running again.

One problem for the brothers is that Kevin is in debt to two Georgian loan sharks, who work for the Russian Mafia. Michael starts working for the car business and starts repairing the cars and doing runs for people, turning into a cross car mending/taxi company. Andrei and Sergei, the loan sharks, then attempt to burn down the business but Michael sees a customer of Kevin's scare them off. His name is Bruce Stevenson and wants Michael's help. His business includes taking out a drug dealer who didn't give the money he owes to Bruce, stealing a truck full of cocaine from the Russian Mafia and assassinating a lieutenant of the LCPD who wanted to rat to the Feds about Bruce.

Michael and Bruce decide to end Kevin's rivalry by killing the loan sharks. They are killed at a Russian warehouse, talking to the boss of the mafia, Vladimir Rashkov. After they are killed, Rashkov offers to work with Michael for money. Michael does some jobs for Rashkov but one job includes robbing a jewelry store for £5,000,000 worth of diamonds. Rashkov's associate, Dimitri Lokonov, breaks Michael's right arm and shoots him in the stomach twice. However, the LCPD turn up and Rashkov and Lokonov escape. Since, they were living in Bohan, Kevin decides that, with the mafia after them, they have to move to Broker. He expands the business interests into Broker and continues business. Michael then meets Fernando Garcia, a Spanish drug dealer who works for the Spanish Mob. He also meets Juan Alonso and Pepe Torres, respectively Garcia's right hand man and the boss of the mob. Michael and Garcia do several deals and Garcia says he works for a "discrete" family in Liberty City. On one mission from the Spanish Mob, Michael encounters Rashkov again. After a long gruelling shootout between the Russian mafia and the Spaniards, the two barely get out alive with many casualties.

After the battles with the Spanish Mob, Michael decides to make more money. He meets the Deputy Commissioner of the LCPD, Rick Thompson. Rick orders Michael to take out drug dealers, law breakers and destroy vehicles. After these activities, he starts being watched by the police and the FIB.
