Weighing against [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|its later counterpart]], the city's geography and alignment of districts in the game are much more reminiscent of New York City, featuring two major mainlands with a Manhattan-like central island (which contains a large park at the center, a reference to Central Park), and several smaller islands along a river of the city, with the mainlands and islands connected primarily by road bridges. Neighboring New Jersey and surrounding boroughs in New York City are also spoofed, the former described as being in [[New Guernsey|a separate state]] of its own (similar to [[Alderney]] in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]). | Weighing against [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|its later counterpart]], the city's geography and alignment of districts in the game are much more reminiscent of New York City, featuring two major mainlands with a Manhattan-like central island (which contains a large park at the center, a reference to Central Park), and several smaller islands along a river of the city, with the mainlands and islands connected primarily by road bridges.

Like New York City, Liberty City is designed as heavily urbanized city with vast numbers of buildings and only a minimal number of parks and greenery. A looping [[Train (vehicle)|train line]], running along elevated and underground lines, also services locations all across the city. | Like New York City, Liberty City is designed as heavily urbanized city with vast numbers of buildings and only a minimal number of parks and greenery.

Although districts within the western landmass are stated earlier to be located within the "state" of [[New Guernsey]], they form part of Liberty City's metropolitan area (similar to the [[wp:New York metropolitan area|New York metropolitan area]]) and do not feature much aesthetic distinctions from the rest of the city. Technically, both the New Guernsey landmass and the rest of Liberty City are treated in-game as a single entity, similar to the wholes of [[City of San Andreas|San Andreas]] and [[Vice City in GTA 1|Vice City]]. | Although districts within the western landmass are stated earlier to be located within the "state" of [[New Guernsey]], they form part of Liberty City's metropolitan area (similar to the [[:wp:New York metropolitan area|New York metropolitan area]]) and do not feature much aesthetic distinctions from the rest of the city.
