![]() GTA III's world is closer to a cartoon with realistic touches, broadly referencing art like The Godfather and Goodfellas by making fun of wiseguy-type characters, evading interior analyses of what those characters mean. The Liberty City of Grand Theft Auto IV feels like a place with history and real lives. The vibrant environment of Liberty City in the latter title also comes from the depth and richness of GTA 4's characters and plot. Grand Theft Auto IV goes further, with the Empire State Building recreated as "Rotterdam Tower," Coney Island recreated as "Firefly Island," a coffee-wielding Statue of Liberty called the "Statue of Happiness," and the Unisphere in Flushing, Queens recreated as the "Monoglobe" in Dukes, just to name a few of the many. GTA III's Liberty City landmarks do not stand out as clearly as those in GTA IV, though Staunton Island tries to recreate Manhattan's financial district with "Torrington," Times Square with "Bedford Point," and a park in its center.
