Since this version of Liberty City is modeled loosely on New York City, the game is satisfying merely as a driving sim - you can spend hours cruising around and admiring the garish fluorescence of Times Square, the corroded projects of the Bronx, the Russian mob scene flourishing beneath the rattling subway tracks of lower Brooklyn (neighborhoods that in the game are dubbed, respectively, Algonquin, Bohan and Broker). But you can totally ignore the missions and simply go exploring, eavesdropping or conducting physics experiments by jumping motorcycles off rooftops. As with previous games in the series, you play as a minor thug climbing the crime ladder by fulfilling missions. Rockstar invented the sandbox game, and with this GTA, it has pretty much perfected it.
