This is not because the dev team was lazy.

One thing that you will notice is that the missions are rather short. The game plays it very safe with the missions if you ask me. Some are very, very easy and some are super frustratingly hard. The missions that you will be doing in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories are what you would expect from a GTA game. Which is a bit of a bummer as the soundtrack in this game repeats a lot! Do What You Want It does lose the ability for multiplayer and the ability for custom soundtracks that were on the PSP. Speaking of smoother the PS2 version has faster load times and the draw distance seems a lot better than it did on the PSP. The camera especially feels a lot smoother this time around. I also feel that this PS2 version does control better than it did on the PSP. For example, you can go into more buildings that you would think, you can ride motorbikes and there is a lot of clothing to deck yourself out with. I like how they have put a few of the elements that San Andreas and Vice City had in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. However, to be fair as a PSP game the story is great and ideal for a smaller scale GTA story. I must say that the story this game is telling is not as engaging or as epic. In all honesty, in comparison to the other PS2 GTA games, III, Vice City, and San Andreas. You play as Toni Cipriani a man who has been in hiding after killing a made man and who is now back in Liberty City trying to move up the ranks of the underworld.Īs you would expect, things are not smooth sailing and there are betrayal and a lot of bloodshed. The game is set before the events of GTA III. Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories takes place in Liberty City and the city is actually very similar to how it was in Grand Theft Auto III. This was a huge hit and a big deal on the PSP, but the PlayStation 2 version which was released as a budget title really late in the console’s life (2006) actually sold phenomenally well. While Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories was originally released for the PSP, it is the PlayStation 2 version of the game that I am looking at today.
