GTA IV Map Overhyped
Posted 07-24-2009 at 01:31 AM by beefers1
I've seen a lot of posts on the Internet saying that LC in GTA IV is almost an exact replica of New York (at least Manhattan). While the general locations of famous landmarks were surprisingly well created, Liberty City is still way too small to pass as an NYC re-creation. The most basic test is to take a taxi from the southern end to the northern end, having it drive legally. I'm not sure how long it would take in Manhattan (probably around an hour, considering the traffic), but it took less than 10 minutes in GTA. Counting the number of blocks, too, and we get an Algonquin that is maybe one sixth the size of the real Manhattan. Nice try, Rockstar. At least True Crime did something right in this respect.
