Game Overview

Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories is an all-new, epic adventure set in Liberty City, the 3-island metropolis from Grand Theft Auto 3. The original storyline and all new missions take place in Liberty City, featuring the interactive, open environment, superb voice talent and diverse music. It's a fully 3D experience similar to the PS2 Grand Theft Autos. Amazing visuals, new lighting and shading models & real-time reflections brings you a new epic experience.

The Good

Available for $20, Loads faster than the PSP version, Still offers plenty free-roaming vehicular mayhem.

The Bad

Graphics get downright ugly at times (PSP graphics don't look so hot when you blow them up to fill a TV screen), Characters are uninteresting, Writing isn't nearly as sharp as you'd expect from a GTA game.

The Bottom Line

It's time to return to Liberty City, the town where all the rules were broken when Grand Theft Auto 3 revolutionized gaming and made the GTA series the biggest franchise on the planet.

Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, offers PlayStation 2 owners a big screen experience of the same story line and missions from the PSP hit, featuring the interactive open environments, innovative gameplay, superb voice talent and diverse music that are the hallmarks of the Grand Theft Auto franchise.

On the PS2, where you can compare it directly to the three Grand Theft Auto games that have appeared there, the whole package is significantly less interesting, even considering the PS2 port's budget price.

Despite the loss of its multiplayer mode and the not-so-pleasing visuals, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories for the PS2 is still a satisfying and appealing game GTA fans will certainly enjoy.

With nothing added and multiplayer stripped completely, there's no reason to buy this game if you've already played the original. Still, it nevertheless provides a unique, satisfying experience.
