Brings what grabs you about The Precinct: an open world, a sandbox with your own goals and a dense, handcrafted world.

The landmark that took GTA into 3D: as a silent criminal you climb the underworld of grim Liberty City, stealing cars, running jobs for mob bosses and causing mayhem whenever you like. Satirical radio stations and the freedom of its open city made it the template for the entire sandbox genre.
