The camera pans over Liberty City, a sprawling urban jungle where eight million souls fight for survival. It is a hard place to live and an easy place to die. The streets are claimed by men vying to be King, yet none succeed. Crime empires crumble here; bright flames are snuffed by single bullets. MCs live their songs, cops get tough, and sirens mix with random gunfire. This is the Liberty state of mind, cousin to death. Get caught slipping? No second chances for you, you.
