On 28 June 2007 at 12:00 EST, the second trailer was released, entitled [[Looking for that Special Someone]]. The Trailer is 1:06 in length and begins with many aerial shots of [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]] before showing Niko in conversation whist in the remodeled car the "Stallion" who replies "We're all looking for that special someone". It also reveals Niko can hold on to the backs of vehicles and skids of helicopters, however it is unknown if these are user-controlled actions or are in [[cutscene]]s only. It also displays improved particle effects, particularly on weapons, and demonstrates the increased force of the police. [[Roman]] is also partly revealed in the second trailer, and unlike Niko he does not speak with an Eastern European accent. [[El Burro]] and [[8-Ball]] make cameos as their game art is depicted as graffiti on a building opposite the Bank of Liberty, [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City|GTA Vice City]] motorcycle artwork is also apparent on the wall. Other recurring elements from the GTA series appear in the trailer as well; [[Binco]], [[Sprunk]], [[Burger Shot]] and [[Cluckin' Bell]] to name a few. | On 28 June 2007 at 12:00 EST, the second trailer was released, entitled [[Looking for that Special Someone]].
