It's interesting how they have designed the grand theft auto map to look like in New York City.  Comparing it to a map of New York City is quite interesting to see the similarities.  Of course for either legal reasons or just to the original they have changed the name of all the areas.  Of course Manhattan is there.  What model of New York City would be complete without that?  As well when you start the game you begin in Brooklyn.  They have even included parts south Queens and JFK Airport.  Moving north they have included parts south the Bronx.  And finally to the west of Manhattan they have included areas of New Jersey.  I am no expert on the geography of New York City myself, however I have been there two times so it is particularly interesting for me when I play the game while learning about landmarks in New York City at the same time.  Playing this game is truly an educational experience.  I love New York!
