Main article: Liberty City (Grand Theft Auto)#Grand Theft Auto IV rendition

GTA IV’s rendition of Liberty City is more heavily based on New York City than in previous GTA games.
GTA IV’s rendition of Liberty City is more heavily based on New York City than in previous GTA games.

Grand Theft Auto IV takes place in a re-imagined Liberty City consisting of four boroughs, based on four of the boroughs of New York City. Broker is the equivalent of Brooklyn, Queens is Dukes, the Bronx is Bohan and Manhattan is Algonquin. Adjacent to the city is the independent state of Alderney based on New Jersey and named after the Channel Island of the same name. A Staten Island-esque area is not featured in the game as the developers believed that gameplay in such an area would not be fun.[17] Initially the city’s bridges are locked down due to a terrorist threat, but eventually the armed police blockades are lifted and the player is able to lead Niko across the Broker, Algonquin, and Northwood Heights bridges and explore the rest of the city.

Several real-life districts and landmarks exist within Liberty City, including “Hove Beach” (based on Brighton Beach and named from Brighton and Hove); “Firefly Island” (based on Coney Island, featuring the “Screamer” roller coaster modeled from the Coney Island Cyclone); “Middle Park” (replica of Central Park); “Statue of Happiness” (replica of Statue of Liberty, featuring a styrofoam coffee cup in place of a torch); “Star Junction” (replica of Times Square); “BOABO” (Beneath the Offramp of the Algonquin Bridge Overpass) (replica of DUMBO); the “Thornton Building” (replica of the Flatiron Building); the “GetaLife Building” (replica of MetLife Building); the “Booth Tunnel” (replica of Lincoln Tunnel, named after Abraham Lincoln’s assassin, John Wilkes Booth); “BAWSAQ” (replica of NASDAQ); the “Rotterdam Tower” (replica of Empire State Building); and the “Zirconium Building” (replica of Chrysler Building).

The total area of the map is smaller than San Andreas, but this rendition of Liberty City is far more detailed and is the largest individual city in the Grand Theft Auto series.[43] Although smaller than San Andreas, Liberty City is comparable to it in terms of scope when “the level of verticality of the city, the number of buildings you can go into, and the level of detail in those buildings” are taken into account.[43] Dan Houser states that there are no “dead spots” or “irrelevant space” within Liberty City, such as the wide open deserts in San Andreas.

Just felt that deserved its own comment space.

They could have the Greenbelt and Mall on there and have you picking up teeny boppers.
