===The notorious Liberty City makes a repeat appearance in GTA IV===
 
[[Liberty City in GTA IV|Liberty City]] in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] has been remodeled to look much more like New York City compared to its [[GTA III era]] [[Liberty City|renditions]], featuring [[Broker]] (Brooklyn), [[Algonquin]] (Manhattan), [[Dukes]] (Queens), [[Bohan]] (Bronx) and [[Alderney]] (New Jersey). The total map area is slightly smaller than that of [[San Andreas]], but is immensely more detailed and has no "wasted" open space such as countryside or desert.

Featured article

The notorious Liberty City makes a repeat appearance in GTA IV

Liberty City in Grand Theft Auto IV has been remodeled to look much more like New York City compared to its GTA III Era renditions, featuring Broker (Brooklyn), Algonquin (Manhattan), Dukes (Queens) and Bohan (Bronx), with the neighbouring state of Alderney (New Jersey) also present. The total map area is slightly smaller than that of San Andreas, but is immensely more detailed and has no "wasted" open space such as countryside or desert.
