Product Description
It’s time to return to Liberty City, the town where all the rules were broken as Grand Theft Auto 3 revolutionized gaming and made the GTA series the biggest franchise on the planet. The PlayStation Portable edition is an all-new game set in the seedy, sprawling underworld of Liberty City. Just when you thought San Andreas was all you needed in your gaming life, Rockstar today announced that it is working on a brand new Grand Theft Auto title for the PSP. As youd expect from the highly secretive Rockstar, little is known about this latest in the GTA series except that it will take place in the streets of Liberty City (from GTA III) and that it is being developed by Rockstar Leeds. What you can be sure of, is that with the power of Sonys sexy new portable behind it, GTA on PSP wont be just a rehash of the 1997 original.

Talk about the ultimate mobile game for mature gamers who love the Sopranos and Godfather series. Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories is the perfect game for the PSP.
Let me say again – this is a MATURE game. There is sex, there is swearing, there is a LOT of violence. Anybody who buys this game for their 8 year old is making a grave mistake. It really bothers me a lot when people buy adult games for kids and say “Oh I didn’t know”. It clearly says right on the box. There are a TON of adult gamers out there, and we like mature games, just like we like R rated movies. These games aren’t meant for kids. They are made exactly the way us adults like them – full of adult situations.
That being taken care of, this is an *incredible* game. Let’s start with the gameplay. It’s hard to even imagine, looking at say a DS or GameBoy game, that any handheld could produce gameplay like this. You have a fully detailed, fully laid out cityscape. You can drive down any road, walk around amongst the people, watch the rain and sun and fog roll in. The storyline is great. The missions are great. Heck, even the sidegames are great. There are hidden packages to find, rankings to achieve, races to run, you name it. You could play this for months.
The graphics are spellbindingly beautiful. It’s hard to believe this is a handheld game. You get rain falling down around your car as it careens past easily identifiable stores on a road, while pedestrians stroll down the sidewalks. From shooting tasks, to driving races, to handling a number of other situations, the graphics draw you into this world.
Let’s talk about audio. There is a great selection of “radio stations” to listen to as you drive around. The voice acting really draws you into the story, to relate to the various characters involved. I’ve always loved the audio on the GTA games, and this is no exception.
Yes, this game requires a 2.0 update to run. The update is INCLUDED ON THE DISK. Anybody who has trouble finding it must be missing some basic computer skills. It’s right on the main disk menu when you put the disk into the system. It’s free, it’s included, it’s easy.
I can’t say enough good things about this game. Let me try to figure out some down sides. Hmmm, well it’s on a small screen. Heck, that’s the whole point, that it’s on a portable system. When I go on trips, I can bring it along with me. I think that’s fantastic, to have a GTA system to bring on the plane or bus. I *did* find the storyline in general to be on the annoying side, truth be told. I really liked the original GTA3 storyline where you were a valued employee moving up in the ranks due to your skill. I found it frustrating in this one to play in essence an “uppity jerk” who is constantly put down either by his own mob buddies or his mom or other people. It didn’t make the game nearly as enjoyable for me. This is my leisure time after all, to endulge in fun dreams. My fun dream isn’t of being berated and harassed. That being said, the mom in the Sopranos always drove me completely insane too. You have to give a writer the leeway to write his own story, and if that’s what he wants to write, you go with it.
This is a must-own game. It’s a game for ADULTS. But it’s a game with epic scope, great graphics, and great gameplay. Highly, highly recommended.

Ok, I admit it: When I heard that GTA: LCS was coming out on PSP, I actually sold my Gameboy SP and games and bought a bare PSP.
The game is a mixture of GTA 3, with a sprinkle of Vice City and San Andreas. In fact, if you have played GTA 3, you already know the map! The VC and Sa part of the game is that you now have Sanchez bikes all over the city and see vague sightings of some places from SA as well as the characters that you might’ve heard in Las Venturas.
Controls: A bit slugish, since you don’t have as many buttons to choose from. To aim, you need to hold down the L-key and press the “O” However, just like with anything, you will eventually get used to them.
Radio Stations: GTA 3 Stations with NEW content: LCFR(Chatterbox) where you will hear from Lazlow; Head Radio, Lips 106, Double Cleff FM, Rise FM, K-Jah, MSX 98, Flashback FM; NEW STATIONS: Radio Del Mundo and Liberty Jam featuring DJ Clue as himself!!!
Packaging: Map/Poster and the instuctional manual, which resembles a mini-newspaper.
Bottom Line: If you loved the previous GTA games and you currently own a PSP, you HAVE TO get this—You won’t be sorry!

Better on a bigger screen
I picked up SA on PC and thought I’d give this a try. The story line is pretty good so far (I’m not that far yet), the controls can be a little ifey.

nothing bad, only good!
There were multible times when people said that this game isn’t finished, has many bugs and that the controls are horrible. All of this is wrong.

Meh
I am an avid fan of Playstation 2 Grand Theft Auto 3, Vice City, and San Andreas, and have played all of them in their entirety. I really think this one is lame.

4.5; Impressive for a handheld game
A lot of times when you buy a new system, you tend to check out the games that are sort of unanimously agreed on as a game to get.
