Crime is rife in Portland and it has a long history of mafia control. The area is populated with hookers, pimps, labourers, dockworkers, politicians and general scum.

Here you will find the docks, the red light district, warehouses, factories, markets, garages, aswell as some useful suppliers. There will of course be a few changes in order for things to match with the GTA3 storyline, and also to add a sense of realism to the game (for example - the porter tunnel will will not be present in Liberty City Stories). The map, according to Rockstar, is exactly the same as it was in GTA3, although some magazines are saying that Shoreside Vale is extended in a north-easterly direction. As Liberty City is based on New York City, the three districts can be compared to Brooklyn, Manhattan and New Jersey, respectively.

Liberty City is split up into 3 islands - Portland, Staunton Island and Shoreside Vale. The Liberty City Map, featuring Portland (right) Staunton Island (middle) and Shoreside Vale (left)
