The first Grand Theft Auto game to hit the streets on PSP, Liberty City Stories follows in the tire tracks of the series' 2002 breakthrough hit. As in the PS2's Grand Theft Auto III, the three island boroughs of Liberty City are the setting for this portable game of violence, speed, and free-form criminality. Players take the role of a new character, however; another up-and-coming thug who follows a fresh underworld adventure to infamy, through a series of loosely related missions. Of course, as in the other contemporary GTA games, players are also free to explore the expansive, interactive game world on their own, participating in side-challenges or simply stirring up trouble however they see fit. Sprawling city streets are full of ineffectual police, cash-carrying pedestrians, and cars of a wide variety of fictional makes and models, all there for the taking. Also in line with series tradition, the game's soundtrack comes in the form of satirical radio stations which are available in any car, each featuring a long list of licensed music.
Buy this game! This is a must own title. If you liked GTA on the PS2 then you've gotta get this game. I'd even venture so far as to say go out and get a PSP if you have to, but it's a big investment and I'd wait until the price comes down to get one. The graphics are as good as the PS2's, which i think is just spectacular considering the hit Burnout Legends took. But the best thing about htis game is the load times. They're sooo short! They're even less than GTA3's! The voice acting at the begging is, frankly, terrible, and my heart started to sink for the first few minutes of the game. But after you get out and start playing everything will be instantly familiar and the cutscenes pick up after the first two or three with Vincenzo (that bastard!). And, to top it off, rumor has it that there's going to be another GTA for the PSP sometime next year (most likely around the same time as now) so if you're leaning towards getting this system, definitely get this game, Burnout Legends, and i personally liked Wipeout and Hot Shots. Plus, movies look spectacular (but get a stand!) But about this game; I love GTA. And this isn't a subpar offering. It's the same Grand THeft Auto that we've all grown to love, just portable and with really fast load times. I'd give this game a 9.5 out of ten Submitted by daedalion18 (Norwalk, Ohio) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 1 of 1 found this helpful.

You MUST get this The mission style fits in perfectly with the on-the-go lifestyle, the graphics and gameplay are as good as the PS2's "Grand Theft Auto 3".
If more games of this quality come out, there's hope for the system yet! Good job Rockstar! Submitted by nicmuir (Cape Town, South Africa) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
