Playing Grand Theft Auto 4 these past few weeks has been quite the experience.  Not only is the scope of the title completely unrivaled, but Rockstar really outdid themselves with the level of approximation of New York City in the games fake-location Liberty City.

Of course, I didn’t realize how well they did until I saw this great Flickr set of images, titled Sightseeing In Liberty City, which compares the fictional Liberty City to the real-life New York City.

Props to Flickr member Matthew Johnson for compiling this set, which you can view here.
