Liberty City in GTA IV Era: Difference between revisions
Undo revision 355299 by Racecarlock - I absolutely understand what you're saying, many people die, but there's no way of knowing if the total is actually declining (immigration and tourism etc)
Racecarlock (talk | contribs) (I'm being honest here. This IS a GTA game after all. Even without the free roam rampages, think of the mission body counts.) |

This makes Liberty City in GTA IV the most lifelike city to feature in any [[Grand Theft Auto]] game yet. From the massive buildings and large mass of traffic on every block of Algonquin, to residential areas of Bohan, Rockstar has successfully compromised quantity for quality, although the lack of pedestrians in normally crowded places such as Star Junction has drawn criticism. | The area of the city is compressed in size (as seen with the Empire State Building's proximity to the Broker Bridge in the final shot), and the various landmarks are placed much closer to each other than in real life.
