Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories

Horrible

Strengths: a "new" game for GTA fans, $20 retail price

Weakness: everything in the game

I've never been a big fan of the Grand Theft Auto Series - the missions are repetitive and the graphics are average, but Liberty City Stories brings the series to a new low for me. I kept asking why I was playing the game. The other games at least had some personality to them. The characters in Liberty Stories are just boring, cookie cutter types of criminals, and hence forgettable. And the...

GTA: LCS

Strengths: Budget title, GTA, great story

Weakness: graphics

The graphics are a little weak since it is a port from the PSP, but if you can get past that you will like this game. Some of the missions can vary in difficulty -like all GTA games- but it does not take away from the game. The story is great and if you view the game as a GTA3 expansion, then you should enjoy this title. This is a buget title, so it is well worth the cost of admission.

LIBERTY CITY STORIES

Strengths: good variety in missions

Weakness: blocky graphics

Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories is a shooting and driving game for the PS/2. If you have played the previous grand theft auto series, this will all be very familiar to you. This game originally came up for the PSP which means it has inherent limitations in both the graphics and sound department. This game is basically Grand Theft Auto 3 with elements of Vice City thrown in , such as...

Another Grand Theft Auto game

Strengths: Gameplay is combination of Grand Theft Auto III and Vice City. Improved graphics and more weapons and vehicles compared to Grand Theft Auto III.

Weakness: Character still afraid of water. Annoying side mission and packages.

Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories can be called as reworked Grand Theft Auto III, because this time, the player is back to the original city that begins the 3D Grand Theft Auto series. The character is not the same one from Grand Theft Auto III, this game could be count as prequel of Grand Theft Auto III because some building in Grand Theft Auto III are not completed yet and some events has...

More great GTA action

Strengths: great gameplay, great storyline, fun, improvement over psp version

Weakness: crappy graphics

Ah, the good old GTA series. In this installment you get to return to Liberty City, although this takes place before the events in Grand Theft Auto 3. We get to see how a lot of the key players in the GTA3 got to where they were. The city is also a little different, with some places not having been built yet and others in its place instead. The gameplay is very much the same as in other GTAs. So...

GTA: LCS

Strengths: its Grand Theft Auto game

Weakness: same old GTA

If you like the other Grand Theft Auto games, you might want to pick this game up also. There isn't any new kind of stuff in it. It's pretty much the same Grand Theft Auto over and over. It just contain new missions using a new character. That is it. If you are a big fan of GTA games, just pick this $19.99 game up.

PSP's GTA Lite is now available for PS2 at a budget...

Strengths: A new GTA game, just $20 new, decreased load times

Weakness: Weak graphics/storyline, uninspired characters, frame rate issues, no multiplayer modes, smaller/scaled-down Liberty City

In the past few years Rockstar Games has been careful to plan and execute its cash cow Grand Theft Auto series with kid gloves. The publisher knows it doesn't want to risk sales of future releases of their signature series by messing with a good thing. Unfortunately, Liberty City Stories was originally created for the PSP, and porting it to the PS2 with little to no upgrades doesn't work. While a...
