    • Trivia
      The main character of this game, Claude, does not say a single word throughout the entire game, though you can hear him grunting when he falls after jumping and groaning if he ends up drowning in the river.
    • Goofs
      During the cut-scene for the mission "Cipriani's Chauffeur", Michael Madsen, the voice actor of Toni Cipriani, mispronounces Toni's last name as "Kipriani".
    • Quotes

      [after Flashback FM plays a song called "She's on Fire"]

      Toni: Oh she's on fire! Luckily I've never have been... I've done a lot of crazy things, I can tell you that... but I've never been on fire... at least not to my knowledge.

    • Crazy credits
      After the screen fades to black, Maria bickers over breaking her nail. A gunshot is heard and we are left with the impression that "Silent Guy" has shot her.
    • Alternate versions
      The iOS and Android versions have enhanced models and textures from the Xbox version and a map.

    Liberty justified!
    This is one of the most entertaining and controversial, yet wonderful games out there. Though it received heat from parents everywhere and other countries tried to ban it, it is without a doubt one of the best, and one of a kind out there(Do they think younger ones would play this? This is for older ones). Well it may not be for everyone, due to the violent content, grammar, and sex, but hey it is a satire of everyday life, but mostly depicting a grimy, rough city, supposedly this is supposed to be New York, where you control a nameless(we shall learn his name in GTA:SA!) and speechless gangster who's been wronged by the gang he worked for, now he goes freelance in the Pulp Fiction-esquire environment of Liberty City, where you work for different gang factions, just to do their dirty work. But that's not it, you can also walk around steel a car, and do whatever you will, it's non-linear! And because it is, you don't have to do some of the missions, though most of them are part of the story. This is one of the best and it is the first game of it's kind I played. If you like this play also Mafia(more like a 1930's GTA to me), GTA Vice City, and GTA San Andreas, thank you Rockstar, it's good, see.
