    That is astonishing. A few little niggles, like why do all the houses have all their lights on at all times during the night? Does nobody sleep ever? At 1:14, howcome a girl is sitting on a bench playing on her phone for 6 hours straight? There are nowhere near enough pedestrians, but I know that's an unavoidable restriction of the hardware rather than a design problem. But that is so damn cool.

    Now make one for Shenmue :)

    Very cool. Incredible how full of life GTA really is.

    Playing the latest DLC really brings back how much of an achievement this game is. Not sure we will see anything on this scale until GTA V.

    Is there a way to download this?

    @zomoniac - the 1:14 thing... it's worth remembering that one day of game time is 50 minutes in real-time, which explains why some pedestrians stay where they are for so "long".

    Isn't this pretty old? How come it's being wheeled out now?

    Good mind just wondering :)

    Looks like AT&T phone service.

    ive basically had a love afair witthis game, the thing i hate about iv, tlad and tbogt is that even when all three storylines are put together, despite their large, intricate and fun storylines. the city is too broad, diverse and realistic,that no plot, storyline or mission can be too long, or large enough in scale to do liberty city justice.
