Star Junction is intended to mimic the functions of New York City's Times Square as both a cultural and corporate center of the city. Star Junction's urban design is characterized by heavily ad-laden buildings and entertainment establishments in the center surrounded by less "decorated" apartments, hotels and officer towers to the north, east and west. Its intended function also results in the presence of "Broadway" theaters and other entertainment establishments (including the [[Split Sides]]) which show different performances. The northern edge of Star Junction that borders [[Middle Park]] is designed to mimic a more homely skyline of older hotels lined along real-life [[wp:Central Park South|Central Park South]], implying Nickel Street is the in-game equivalent of [[wp:59th Street (Manhattan)|59th Street]]. | Star Junction is intended to mimic the functions of New York City's Times Square as both a cultural and corporate center of the city.

Needless to say, Star Junction is a spectacular location to visit at night, rivalled only by [[The Strip]] and [[Old Venturas Strip]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] for its lights and spectacle. | Needless to say, Star Junction is a spectacular location to visit at night, rivalled only by [[The Strip]] and [[Old Venturas Strip]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] for its lights and spectacle, and is worth exploring on foot at some point in the game. | ||
