This rendition of Liberty City has versions of four of the five boroughs of New York City, plus New Jersey. Brooklyn has become [[Broker]], Manhattan is [[Algonquin]], Queens is [[Dukes]], Bronx is [[Bohan]] and New Jersey is [[Alderney]]. | This rendition of Liberty City has versions of four of the five boroughs of New York City, plus New Jersey.

The game's Manhattan is compressed in size (as seen with the Empire State Building's proximity to the Brooklyn Bridge in the final shot), and the various landmarks are placed much closer to each other than in real life. The entire map is smaller than that of [[San Andreas]], but is immensely more detailed and has no "wasted" open space such as countryside or desert. | The game's Manhattan is compressed in size (as seen with the Empire State Building's proximity to the Brooklyn Bridge in the final shot), and the various landmarks are placed much closer to each other than in real life.

''It's a smaller geographical mass than San Andreas, but not an inch of this world is wasted or dedicated to vast streches of country or desert.
