  • 8. SoundIngame music is only played during driving parts of the game, as the music comes from the car radioA variety of (fictional) radio stations are included, each playing a different style of musicIn this clip the music is fairly calm jazz music-a juxtaposition to the chase which is occurring at the time in the gameOther sounds mimic real life in a situation such as those ingame-gunshots, police sirens etc.All sound throughout is diagetic, making the game more immersive
  • 9. Mise en sceneThe GTA series is well-known for its sprawling, open-ended game worlds. The game world, Liberty City, is based heavily upon New York.
