Lack of Parkour Mechanics, Less Ways to spend the money. Decent Missions and storytelling. 3rd Best Soundtrack in the Game

Liberty City Stories is the first PSP Grand Theft Auto game and probably my favourite. This time, the missions given to you across Liberty City are actually filled with variety this time. Visiting LC again after 3 games of experience allowed Rockstar to really use it to its full potential. The story is a little bit shallow, but never truly bad. Vastly underrated and overshadowed by the rest of the series.

Прошел сюжетную линию и все побочки, до 100% не хватает сбора пакетов, прыжков и вроде чего-то еще, но я итак достаточно задушился.
Сюжет: ну он чуть лучше чем в трешке и хуже всех остальных частей GTA, миссии короткие и не интересные(из большого кол-ва заданий запомнились лишь развязка арки с JD и миссия где ты перехватываешь управление автомобиля и давишь мафиози) 90% это приедь - убей, ну для портативной игры пойдет думаю.
Тони по сюжету какой-то терпила, его унижает то выскочка Винчензо, то мамашка и Мария, то Лав всю вину перекидывает, да даже Сал в конце наепывает, прикол.
Побочки: есть и классическая душня на машинах спецслужб, а есть новые типа продавца транспорта или мусорщика. Не больно сложные, собирать мусор наверное самое прикольное ибо там ограничение по времени жесткое и нужно заранее продумывать маршрут. Есть еще миссия "народного мстителя" где ты с челом месишь бандитов, вроде элементарно в Портленде прошел без проблем, а вот дальше игра заставила меня полыхать. Пару раз челы справнились где-то в недоступной части карты, я даже всю подземку объезжал но так и не понял где эти гандоны прятались, а на третьем острове меня нереально выморозила планировка, ездить в разные углы карты в Шортсайде больно из-за того что это убивает много времени, хз кто там дизайнил третий остров но надеюсь они будут в аду гореть.
Из транспорта только авто и мото , ну ещё пару раз дают на лодке прокатиться. Из воздушного ничего не нашел, в миссиях были вертолеты, но самому управлять ни дали ни разу, что обидно. Хотя учитывая малый размер карты оно и понятно, плюс постоянные погрузки карты(особенно их много к концу игры, когда приходится постоянно курировать меж островами).
Самый главный минус это РАДИО, оно здесь просто ужас... Я привык к крутым лицензионным трекам как в Вайсе, СА а тут прям видна дешевизна. На одной станции играют индийские завывания, ну другой опера блять, на всех остальных говномиксы, короче играть строго под свою музыку.
Как итог GTA LCS как игра для портативки хороша, но как часть серии откровенный середнячок, благо хоть не напрягающая с простыми миссиями, сюжетом, тачками и пр. Если проходить строго по сюжету займет наверное часов 7-10, но я занялся и побочным дрочем поэтому убил 20.

Liberty city is my least favourite place.

Единственная часть серии, которую прошёл трижды, и о чём не сожалею, ибо это очередной шедевр от Rockstar. Игры этой студии ещё до выхода становятся культовыми. Помню, как с помощью читов на вождение по воде пытались попасть во второй и третий города. Времена...


Jogo é melhor do que eu me lembrava quando eu joguei como criança, mas minha opinião desse ser o GTA mais fraco da era de 3D continua, o protagonista desse jogo é chato e tem menos carisma que o Cloud, que é um personagem praticamente MUDO, a história desse jogo é fraca e se prolonga mais do que deveria, na minha opinião poderiam ter expandido muito mais a história do GTA III, como o VC Stories faz, a gameplay dele é fraca e provavelmente eu NUNCA vou jogar esse jogo denovo na minha vida.

this was the game for me where i said "it can't look more realistic than this"

Liberty City Stories is a solid game in franchise and what one could say is an improvement of 3. Don't expect innovation or grand changes in the formula. It's the same old GTA but a prequel in this case. I enjoyed the character interactions and thought they were funny as hell so to be expected.

boneless gta 3

now, this game is not bad by any means. it's quite decent and there is definitely some fun to be had here. in terms of mechanics, LCS improves on 3 in every single way possible (barring crouching not being available). you actually have bikes now, the shooting isnt annoying, the cars handle normally compared to 3's cars which couldnt stay stable for a second.

however, it's a complete downgrade in every other aspect imaginable. somehow, LCS manages to have a less engaging story than 3's fairly simple and barebones story because around 80% of the cutscenes in this game are not motion captured so any sort of impact they could have had is thrown out the window (the final showdown with the main antagonist isnt motion captured lol). toni is a terrible protagonist with awkward voice acting and writing, it genuinely would've been better if he was just silent. the main antagonist is someone we've passed by once or twice in the game and he doesnt even know toni exists, gta 3's main antagonist on the other hand is someone we are familiar with the entire game so it works well. the pacing is awkward and it takes too long for anything interesting to happen. something else that makes this story less engaging is the fact toni is tied to the mafia the entire game, despite the story being more or less moving the same path as gta 3 did (working for a yakuza member, working for donald love, working for a corrupt cop, etc.), it does not work as well as 3 did because claude was a one man army, he wasnt affiliated with anyone and would do anything just to progress giving for interesting missions and ideas we dont see in LCS (i.e. sayonara salvatore and waka-gashira wipeout in 3).

3's radio is one of my personal favorites in gta because of how short the stations were and that gives almost a sense of comfort while playing the game, LCS's was also short but it felt more obnoxious than 3 despite them trying to imitate the same radio sound and a lot of songs were more annoying than nostalgic or good.

the missions were not nearly as chaotic or open ended as 3's were, i would always be excited playing 3's missions despite them getting really hard sometimes because of the chaoticness most missions provided. however this is not present here as a lot of missions rely on gimmicks such as following cars (ugh), just generally forgettable missions.

now, i have criticized this game to hell and the sensible thing to do would be to give it like a 1/5 or something, right?

despite all that i said here, i think there is still quite some fun to be had here with the game as some missions were still fun and the improved mechanics make driving around LC way more fun. i still prefer 3's more darker atmopshere in its city but it's still LC here so i had a lot of fun driving even if a lot of the songs sucked ("sing it back" fucks hard though). decent game that was a serious achievement as it was made for a handheld.

toshiko my beloved.

"So keep quei bast*rdi dei Leone tied down in Portland".

Superou minhas expectativas, ouvi dizer que o jogo é meio rushado e incompleto, mas foi o contrário.

As missões são bem divertidas e bem variadas no geral, a maioria sendo luta contra gangues e mafias e gosto como isso afeta o mundo com elas indo atrás de você. Até algumas mais absurdas como explodir um quarteirão inteiro.

Meus problemas é a dificuldade de jogar esse jogo hoje em dia, com o port feito por fã cheio de bugs como softlocks e uma polícia extremamente agressiva ou o PPSSPP que rodou bem no geral só que na etapa final do jogo ficou engasgando muito por algum motivo, tornando injogável. Também um pouco de desbalanceamento das armas, você mata e morre extremamente rápido e com isso exige muita estratégia.

No geral recomendo o jogo, a história não é nada especial mas conseguiu me entreter e supreendemente tem muita sidecontent pra se fazer.

BEST THEME SONG IN THEME SONG HISTORY HOLY FUCK. THE SICKEST ELECTRIC GUITAR BASSLINE YOU'LL EVER HEAR IMMEDIATELY TELLS YOU YOU'RE ABOUT TO PLAY THE HARDEST FUCKING PSP GAME EVER, STEP ASIDE BALLSACKBOY. ESCALATED INTO THIS DRAMATIC ORCHESTRAL EXPLOSION TO ESTABLISH THE GRAND SCOPE YOU'VE COME TO EXPECT FROM ROCKSTAR, BEFORE ADDING THAT MAFIA UNDERWORLD FLAIR BY TRANSITIONING INTO THE MOST ITALIAN SOUNDING ASS MELODY OF ALL TIME, I GOT CHUNKS OF MEATBALLS LODGED IN MY PSP'S D-PAD I'M COMPLETELY ERECT

And then the game loads and you're playing as the lamest fucking dork in creative writing history lmao YOU PLAY AS THE GUY WHO STILL SUCKS HIS MUM'S TITTIES AT AGE 40 COME ON. Toni Cipriani is the type of guy to browse old Internet forums from 1992 about his passion for scrapbooking

Which really sums this game up. It's got everything you'd expect from a GTA classic - the fast paced gameplay, epic setpieces, amusing satirical undertones - but with core DNA that's just slightly less captivating than the others. I enjoy it in the moment, but I can only remember like three missions a year later. It's your standard GTA missions you've done a million times. They're fun, but the game lacks an identity. It's forgettable.

Also, the soundtrack MUST have been organised by a deaf guy, IT SUCKS ASS WHAT IS THIS. GTA III's soundtrack mostly consisted of lesser known artists because they had a tight music budget, so this game intentionally does the same as a callback to those days... BUT YOU CAN USE ARTISTS THAT COST MORE THAN $5.

The rap station sounds like how my grandmother hears rap music. The pop station somehow found pop fluff more forgettable than what's on actual pop stations. Reggae. All reggae is terrible and reggae's in this game.

The worst 3D GTA, which says more about the quality of the others rather than necessarily the quality of this, because this game still fucking FUCKS

more fun than gta 3 and the missions can be fun too! the characters are whatever but the main theme is surprisingly really good!

Gran infravalorado, menudas horas de vicio a la PSP mamita

допиленный порт GTA 3 на портативки, сохранивший даже босс-вертолет в конце

My first GTA and I had to hide from my parents whenever I played this game.

Despite being released around San Andreas, the game feels more similar to Vice CIty and 3 in terms of feel. It is by no means terrible as these two games provide a pretty solid basis. However the game is just completely overshadowed by San Andreas.

I believe the game was intended for the PSP market? That would have explained its limited hardware capabilities. Speaking of capabilities, the game offers nothing new to the established GTA formula. Yes, there are bikes in Liberty City now, but strip that away and the fact that Toni can talk it is pretty much just the same as GTA 3. I didn't really like the environment in GTA 3 so naturally I am not particularly fond of the vibes of LCS either.

The characters of GTA LCS, fortunately, are more memorable than whatever we got in GTA 3. Having a talking protagonist sure helps. Toni (or Mr Beans) is a well-portrayed heartless bastard and his connection with his Ma is... interesting to say the least. The rest of the cast, though including some memorable ones like Donald Love, just couldn't compare with the absolute genius character depictions in Vice City and San Andreas.

The plot of the game is pretty basic. Toni comes out of jail and works for the Leone family to establish their dominating position in Liberty City again. I don't really remember much from this game plot-wise. It just doesn't hit as hard as Vice City and San Andreas did.

The vehicles are basically the same as in GTA 3, with some facelifts applied to certain cars to set them apart. Fortunately the cars control better than the ones in 3. The shooting, well the auto aim works I will just have to say.

This game along with VCS are often forgotten by a lot of people. Makes perfect sense as they were predated by the absolute masterpieces like San Andreas and 4. It is however a pretty solid game on its own. Definitely try it out if you want to.

Como pegue tiro en la PSP, me acuerdo que mandamos a imprimir los cheat codes. Ehhhh Tony

i love how antonio just doesnt care about anything that happens

O Gta4 de PS2, literalmente.

Acho legal como a rockstar disfarça o seu game designe medíocre atrás de gráfico e vários detalhes inúteis e como ninguém nota isso.
Mais engraçado como isso só foi piorando sendo o ápice RDR2, vamos ver como gta6 será um jogo extremamente simplório em gamplay mas será exaltado só por sua parte técnica.
Coloca meia dúzia de personagem carismático, uma história legalzinha, gráficos absurdos, uns detalhes inúteis e tá lá, todo mundo vai ignorar o grameplay patético e medíocre que você repete a mais de 20 anos e vão chamar de obra prima.

You woke up this morning
The world turned upside down
Lord above, thing's ain't been the same
Since the Blues walked into town
But you're, but you're one in a million
'Cause you've got that shotgun shine, shame about it
Born under a bad sign
With a blue moon in your eyes, yeah
Woke up this morning
(You got a blue moon)
Got a blue moon in your eyes
(So sad)
(Goddamn, a goddamn shame about it)
Woke up this morning
(You got a blue moon)
Got a blue moon in your eyes

Primeira vez zerando ele entendendo inglês. A história deixa um pouco a desejar em alguns aspectos porém gostei da adição de atividades secundárias para fazer em Liberty City.

Básicamente la historia de Toni Cipriani antes de ser un gordito, me gusta pero no tanto como los demás

Ох, эта игра... Начал её на psp, страдал от управления psp, долгих и сложных миссий, и вроде бы всё было хорошо, до момента миссии убийства вакагаширы острова стонтон. Игра просто вылетала при подходе к будущей конспирационной квартире Клода.
Благо есть прекрасный эмулятор, на котором в эту игру было играть одно удовольствие.
В целом игра неплоха, но сейчас понимаю что каждая GTA актуальна именно в годы своего выхода, именно тогда в ней хочется находиться постоянно. Пока что самая слабая часть из опробованных


Stories certainly is a wonderful achievement for the PSP, but it does have a few drawbacks with the slowdown, camera issues and targeting issue but still best game on PSP

Un juego bastante simple que se nota que solo se hizo para tener algo que vender en la PSP, aún así llega a ser entretenido.

Gameplay bem travadona e história não tão interessante
