The '''Ghost Town''' is a 'hidden area', not intended to be accessed during normal gameplay. It is used in the introduction of [[Grand Theft Auto III]] where [[Claude]] is helping [[Catalina]] rob a bank, before being betrayed and shot. | The '''Ghost Town''' is a 'hidden area', not intended to be accessed during normal gameplay. It is used in the introduction of [[Grand Theft Auto III]] where [[Claude]] is helping [[Catalina]] rob a bank, before being betrayed and shot. The small city block is just a hidden interior alongside of the garden area on Kenji's Casino, the roof of the Love Media building, and Joey's Garage. Although referred to, it is not [[Carcer City]]. | ||

The Ghost Town is basically a street with the Liberty City Bank, some stores and apartments, and a [[Mr. Wongs]], an [[Esperanto]], and three [[Securicar]]s parked on the street. The Ghost Town is noticeably more detailed than [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]] itself; the alley behind the bank contains dumpsters, cardboard boxes, and even various items of garbage strewn across the ground. Most of the apartments above the alley/streets also feature air conditioning units on the windows, like some buildings in real-life. The sidewalks, however, are empty, with the exception of a few street lights and parking signs. | The Ghost Town is basically a street with the Liberty City Bank, some stores and apartments, and a [[Mr. Wongs]], an [[Esperanto]], and three [[Securicar]]s parked on the street.

During gameplay, it can only be accessed by flying the Dodo there. Very few of the objects are solid, and those that ''are'' solid are tiny props (two dumpsters behind the Liberty City Bank), so there is nowhere to land. If using [[Cheats in GTA III|cheats]], the flying cars cheat can also get the player to the Ghost Town. A modification was made for the PC version that places a bridge and solidifies the area, which allows the player to reach the Ghost Town more easily. The small landmass is also located over a large entrance into the blue hell, along with others seeing as how the backside of the hills aren't complete. | During gameplay, it can only be accessed by flying the Dodo there.

In Liberty City Stories the area does not exist, if it did it would be easier to explore by obtaining the [[Maverick]] in [[False Idols]]. In 1998 there is some evidence leading to the actual name for the part of the city with it being '''Upstate'''. The reason for this is in both GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories there is a road tunnel up in Cedar Grove. In 2001 the tunnel is inaccessible (even if the player somehow manages to get behind the roadblocks the small area isn't solid). But in 1998 the tunnel can be entered. In the middle there is a road that is blocked off for unknown reasons. This road is also inaccessible, but is with the help of a helicopter. No part of the road is solid and the road also would appear as if it was going uphill. The very end of the road has no wall or anything in front of it. It stops and dangles above the [[Blue Hell|very bottom]] of Liberty City. Also close to the location of the small strip of land there is a pipeline to what would appear as one from [[The Mars Gas Corporation]]. This was placed as a boundary which would also be absent in GTA: III, however the player is able to fly under it but not over it. | In Liberty City Stories the area does not exist, if it did it would be easier to explore by obtaining the [[Maverick]] in [[False Idols]].
