Rockstar's bread and butter may be a little series known to some as Grand Theft Auto, but the world of Liberty City
The game marks the series' first appearance on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and with it comes some pretty impressive visual work, very cool uses of scale and an extremely quick racing experience. The game has a whole lot going for it, and racing fans would do well to check it out. However, it's not perfect, with a few bumps in the road here and there that keep it from being the undisputed king of the streets. Contender though? Most certainly.
Let's start with the city of Los Angeles. Rockstar San Diego has done a fantastic job of bringing the city to life in the game, a version that isn't exactly like the real thing (the whole city would be boring to drive and just too big), but features all of the highlights that you would expect to see here. If you know your way around LA, you'll feel right at home here.
