Colony Island is a neighborhood and island in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars located off-shore from Algonquin, Liberty City.

Description

The island is officially part of the borough of Algonquin and is situated on the Humboldt River between Algonquin and Broker. Unlike Charge Island to the north, Colony Island has a residential area and access to public transport, presumably due to its proximity and direct connection with Algonquin.

The Algonquin Bridge passes over the northern portion of the island, separating the apartment buildings in the south and the cemetery at the north end. An industrial park, featuring in the mission Waste Not Want Knots, spans almost the entire north-eastern perimeter of the island, and a waterfront promenade runs along the west coast, offering pleasant views of the Algonquin skyline. The south end of the island is occupied by an abandoned hospital, featured in the mission The Snow Storm. A lighthouse is also situated on the northern tip of the island, accessible through the cemetery.

In GTA Chinatown Wars, Colony Island is modified to appear bisected by the Algonquin Bridge. As a result, only the southern half of the island is accessible from Algonquin, while the northern half containing the cemetery and lighthouse (where HoboTron takes place) is only reachable via boat.

Businesses

All of the few stores on Colony Island are on the main road, President Avenue.

Influence

Colony Island is analogous to New York City's Roosevelt Island. Both islands are located in the center of a major river separating two boroughs of the city; the Algonquin Bridge, like the Queensboro Bridge, passes over the island, and Colony Island's abandoned hospital is akin to the abandoned Smallpox Hospital on Roosevelt Island.

Transportation

The Liberty Transport Authority operates a tram service between Lancet, Algonquin and the island, a replication of the Roosevelt Island Tramway. The tram station is located on President Street, partially overlapped by the southern side of the Algonquin Bridge.

Colony Island is also accessible via Leaper's Bridge, the only road link in and out of the island.

President Avenue is the main thoroughfare on the island running north-south through the center of it from the Algonquin to Leaper's Bridge.

Places of Interest

Multiplayer

Colony is among the best locations for Team Deathmatch, as its size is not too big for 4 player matches, but not too small for 16 player matches. Also, trapping the enemy team in the cemetery on the northernmost part of the island allows for long killing streaks, especially if one's team has superior firepower.
