GTA returns to Liberty City with even more realism and city feel.
Sometimes Liberty City Stories encounter some slowdon/lag when player can see many ped's/cars. Suprisingly this GTA is very and i mean very easy, it's possible to beat the storyline in some 10 hours of intense playing, but offcourse there are alot of side-missions which will keep you enterteined for many hours. This is one of the first GTA games for console which supports online playing, only one problem, you can play only with people standing near you, thus making it impossible for poeple who don't have any friends who own PSP/LCS. There are many new side missions who were not featured in past GTA's like - car's salesman, this is pretty easy side missions with many levels, player needs to sell car's to people. You choose one of four car's standing in front of you and when you get in it you need to show customer how good is it for he's needs. Unluckuly there are only four diffrent needs - slow car, fast sports car, offroad SUV and car to eveade police chases and ram ped's. The controls are responsive and good only problem that PSP lacks of second analog stick so it makes playing a bit more difficult
What would GTA be without weapons? Liberty City Stories dosen't feature the biggest varaitie of weapons they are enough. The most basic weapons are fists, baseball bat which is aveilable from the start, and then proggresing teh story line you unlock more weapons and proggresing to second island get's you all weapons except minigun whih is then out of stock. There still is the old Ammu-Nation but proggresing to second island unlocks you a heavy weapon store called "Phil Cassdy's Fully Cocked Gun Shop". Also now Ammu-Nation only provides weapons like - Pistol, Uzi, SMG, Grenade, SNiper and AK - 47. More heavy weapons can be bought in Phil Casidy's store.
As this is the first GTA game for the Sony's PSP than we realy can't say that graphics are bad, sure they could of been a bit better but more enveiorment so big (for PSP) it's pretty good. Sometimes there are glitches like when driving fast (thus the map dosent load so fast as you drive) you get stuck inside a building. And for the best part i can say that the graphics are sure better than it was in GTA III. And offcourse what would GTA be without the "Rockstar's Humor"? There are many times in radio or in some other places where you just couldnt stop laughing. Like when you select the "Multiplayer" option there is a discription saying "Play with friends standing nearby or with CREEPY STRANGERS". In a every day game it would be something like "Play with people standing nearby".
Liberty City Stories features many built in radio's (as all GTA games) ranging from classic/ballet music to hip hop, club music. As many previous GTA game also LCS has atleast oen news channel which reports latest new and you can listen to many talk shows. Talks shows include - cooking show, computer geek show (where you can hear someone say "l.o.l."), dating show and many more. In the audio options there is a option of playing custom tracks (tracks stored in PSP's Music folder) but unfortenetly it cannot be used.
Liberty City Stories is a game thats is a mus have for any PSP owner. Buying a PSP specialy for the game would'nt be so necasery. Actualy if you have played the GTA III then this would also be a must have. The only problem is that the storyline is pretty predictable.
