'''Liberty City in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], [[GTA IV Episodes|its episodes]], and [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]]''' is the third rendition of Liberty City, much different from its [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|appearance in the GTA III Era]] and much more closely based on [[wikipedia:New York City|New York City]]. The city has more detail and personality, with many more places which are based on real [[/New York Landmarks|landmarks]] such as the [[Statue of Happiness]], [[Star Junction]] and the [[Rotterdam Tower]].
'''Liberty City in the GTA IV Era''' is the third appearance of Liberty City, much different from its [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|appearance in the GTA III Era]] and much more closely based on [[wikipedia:New York City|New York City]]. The city has more detail and personality, with many more places which are based on real [[/New York Landmarks|landmarks]] such as the [[Statue of Happiness]], [[Star Junction]] and the [[Rotterdam Tower]].


This rendition of Liberty City has versions of four of the five boroughs of New York City, plus [[wp:New Jersey|New Jersey]]. [[wp:Brooklyn|Brooklyn]] is '''[[Broker]]''', [[wp:Queens|Queens]] is '''[[Dukes]]''', [[wp:Manhattan|Manhattan]] is '''[[Algonquin]]''' and [[wp:The Bronx|Bronx]] is '''[[Bohan]]'''. The state and city of [[wp:New Jersey|New Jersey]] is [[Alderney]], which technically is separate from Liberty City. The only borough not to be recreated in the game is [[wikipedia:Staten Island|Staten Island]].

Grand Theft Auto IV and its two episodes ([[The Lost and Damned]] and [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]) use the same full rendition of the city. However, a small number of different locations are accessible in the different episodes. Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars uses all of the city apart from [[Alderney]] and is altered for the top-down perspective of the game.
