Wired: Grand Theft Auto is a satire on street life.

Check out this great Wired Blog, where the author describes the locations and scenes in GTA to what its modelled on its real life counterparts.

Here's a little snippet.

"Let me give you an example. At one point, I was having a typically thuggish day: I'd killed a few drug dealers with a semiautomatic, and while trying to flee, whoops -- I accidentally rear-ended a cop car. Then it was a car chase, all wailing sirens and shrieking pedestrians diving out of the way, before totaling my SUV in a brutal collision and escaping on foot. A total Hillary Clinton nightmare, in other words."
