Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories on Ps2 goes back to the streets of Liberty City and it feels nice and old-school.
Toni Cipriani is fresh back in the city after lying low for several years, having killed a made man as a favor for Don Salvatore Leone. The grateful Salvatore puts him straight back to work.
Game play:
Set in 1998, three years before GTA III, the game returns to it's roots and goes back onto the streets of Liberty.
Graphics:
Not as great looking as, say, San Andreas (they improved the character models since GTA III) but still looks good for a PS2 game. Liberty City is the same as you remember it, but some layouts are a little different. In the end, it feels nice and old-school to return to Liberty City, it really makes you feel like you're in 1998.
Music and Sound:
Music is good, but most of the in-car radio soundtrack is lousy and uninteresting with the exception of "Deep Cover'' performed by Big Pun ft. Fat Joe. Sound effects are great as usual, of course.
Controls:
Left analog stick for moving Toni. Square for jumping. O for shooting/punching. Triangle for getting in a car/motorcycle. Right analog stick for moving camera.
Lasting Appeal:
It feels nice and old-school to be back onto the streets of Liberty City. 8.7 out of 10.
