Koyaanisqatsi GTA4′ed

Fans of time-lapse will certainly know the movie Koyaanisqatsi by Godfrey Reggio, also because of the awesome Philip Glass score. The concept of the movie has now been ported to GTA4 and the result is rather impressive. Note that the awesome Glass’ music was preserved and once more we can see how great the design in GTA4 and Liberty City is.
