Liberty City (3D World)

For the HD World version of this city visit Liberty City (HD World).
The City of Liberty , commonly known as Liberty City or simply Liberty, is a major city located in the State of Liberty in the 3D Universe. It is the second appearance of Liberty City in the series, succeeding the 2D Universe rendition in the first game and preceding the current HD Universe rendition introduced in Grand Theft Auto IV. The most notable resident of this city is Claude Speed.
Assuming a significantly different design compared to the previous incarnation, the city plays a role in five games in the series: a primary role in Grand Theft Auto III (set in 2001), Grand Theft Auto Advance (set in 2000) and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories (set in 1998), as well as a secondary role in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (set in 1992) and Grand Theft Auto Vice City (set in 1986). The city's motto is "The worst place in America", due to the high crime rate in the city.
