You’ll travel Liberty City through the major districts: Industrial, Commercial, and Suburban, which correspond to the three levels of gameplay. The non-linear gameplay is still there. You can take odd jobs, taxi jobs, or turn cars into scrap, as well as embark on a load of side missions and the actual plotline missions. Now some missions must be performed at certain times of day, and the weather changes, which will affect the roads and handling of your vehicles. You’ll claw your way to the top of the gang hierarchy, avoiding swat teams, cops, the FBI, the Army, and, of course, drive-by shootings from other gangs.
