Cabs aren't only for use after failed missions but can be hailed at any time by whistling. From smoking to reading to eating to dialing phones while not paying attention to where they're going, they seem much more alive than ever before.
Pedestrians perform all manners of activities while walking around. YES NO Indeed, as immersive and open as past cities in the Grand Theft Auto games have been, none are more alive, realistic and seemingly involving than the Liberty City you'll find in GTAIV. With his stomach full, he whistles for a cab, hops in and takes a ride. After looking around a bit to allow us to take in the rather impressive sights, Niko takes a short stroll over to a nearby hot dog vendor, hands over some cash and chows down on a dog.

The area is filled with neon signs and glowing billboards which blanket buildings that stretch toward the sky. Our demo began with Niko Bellic standing at the ready in Star Junction, Rockstar's version of Times Square.
Though we've all played countless hours of the GTAIII trilogy, this second time through was necessary simply because of the amount of stuff thrown in here. Rockstar recently gave us a double-dipped walkthrough of about 45 minutes of play time, once without commentary or explanation so that we could just take it all in, and then a second time with a full presentation to clue us in to all of the details.
