GTA Chinatown Wars Map: Boroughs and Safehouses

📅 Checked on

GTA Chinatown Wars is set in 2009 in the Liberty City of GTA IV, minus Alderney. Its map keeps four boroughs, Algonquin, Bohan, Broker and Dukes, in a simplified, scaled-down version of the city made for handheld consoles. Five safehouses open as the story goes on.

A Simplified Liberty City

Chinatown Wars rebuilds GTA IV's city at a smaller scale for the Nintendo DS and PSP. It is scaled down, and the street layout is simplified.
