Liberty City (Grand Theft Auto) - Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars Rendition

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars Rendition

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for the Nintendo DS, PlayStation Portable, iPhone, iPod touch and iPad takes place in the Grand Theft Auto IV rendition of Liberty City, with the exception of Alderney. Instead of a ground-level view behind the protagonist or a top-down perspective, Chinatown Wars uses a fully rotatable aerial camera angled down at the action. Most of the buildings and features in Grand Theft Auto IV can be found here, including the Statue of Happiness. There are 80 different drug dealers spread across Liberty City, all which are part of different ethnic gangs who supply and purchase different drugs (e.g. Jamaicans primarily supply marijuana and prefer to buy "downers" from the player).

Because of the aerial camera angle, making viewing underneath overlapping levels difficult, the road network of Liberty City has been 'flattened' to a largely two-dimensional layout. For example, bridges carrying roads over one another have been replaced with intersections.

Famous quotes containing the word theft:

    Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its labourers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.
    Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890–1969)
