    Look at the comments...
    I knew this was April Fools right away, I already know the next GTA is in London, anyway. I didn't even bother reading this.

    I'm so glad this is an april fools joke. For god sakes, I couldn't stand a GTA game in the 70's. Nice try IGN Australia, Nice try.

    No. There just doing their f*cking (IGN don't like swearing..._) job.

    To be honest Last Years was AMAZING! One of the best April fools video games jokes of all time. This one was interesting but that one had the whole like world talking about it.

    plus the fact they spelt harbour with a U in it kinda gave away that a US company didnt make the document. plus the harbour city graphic font wasnt in keeping with other GTA's. thats when i got suspicious. added to the fact they had a picture of the real city there claiming it was the "skyline"... hmm. when was the last time GTA accurately replicated a city to be shot up?
