Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories

The GTA franchise returns to its stomping grounds Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. What makes this game unique is that not only is its setting, Liberty City, is the same as the previous Grand Theft Auto III, but also that the overall layout of the city remains virtually unchanged, with a few exceptions to reflect that the game takes place around 3 years prior to GTA III.

GTA: Liberty City Stories was developed in a collaboration between Rockstar Leeds and Rockstar North. It was published by Rockstar Games and is the ninth installment in the Grand Theft Auto series, initially released as a PlayStation Portable exclusive in October 2005.

The game received a PS2 port in 2006 and more ports for iOS, Android and Fire OS devices were also released by December 2015.

Plot and location

GTA: Liberty City Stories is a prequel to 2001’s Grand Theft Auto III and uses the same setting. Liberty City is a fictional version of New York City.

Set in the year 1998, the single-player storyline follows gangster Toni Cipriani (a character first introduced in Grand Theft Auto III) and his quest to climb the ranks of the criminal enterprise of the Leone family while also navigating the power struggle between various mafia organizations.

At the start of the game, Toni Cipriani’s boss Salvatore Leone of the Leone Family introduces Toni to the family’s capo Vincenzo Cilli. Cilli persuades Toni do some work for him, which then propels the rest of the events of the game.

Gameplay

On the PlayStation Portable, character movement is controlled with analog sticks. The D-Pad is used for cycling through available weapons.

The Select button changes the camera mode. To target enemies, the player can hold his R button and use the Left and Right of the directional pad to switch between targets. Note that in the game`s menu, the player can choose to reverse the functions of the analog stick and D-Pad.

Drive-by shooting is possible with the L button and R button inside the car. While in the course of a mission, all enemies specific to the job are indicated on the radar by red dots.

The Sony PS2 version controls a bit differently, incorporating elements and features from other GTA games. PlayStation 2 version of Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories combines various game mechanics from Grand Theft Auto III, the PS2 version of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Walking movement and shooting controls are more like those found in GTA III or GTA Vice City. However, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories uses camera control and third-person free aiming that is similar to how they are handled in GTA: San Andreas.

Visuals and other features

GTA:L iberty City Stories includes elements found in the sequel to Grand Theft Auto III, including more indoor environments, clothes, and bikes.

GTA Liberty City Stories has some significant features changed (or even removed) that were present in GTA: San Andreas. For instance, GTA: San Andreas encouraged players to feed and train Carl Johnson (the protagonist) on a regular basis to prevent him from losing health and skills. This simulation-type feature is not present in GTA: Liberty City Stories.

Furthermore, airplanes are shown in GTA Liberty City Story and even take part in some mission. But unlike GTA San Andreas, players do not have the opportunity nor the controls implemented to pilot flying vehicles in this game.

Gang wars can occur in missions and is one of the main elements in Liberty City Stories, but the player cannot take control of territories in this game. This is a feature that stood out in GTA San Andreas. Other gameplay features changed in Liberty City Stories include swimming being removed and parkour is simplified like in the GTA III and GTA Vice City games.

The Sony PSP version of the game also includes multiplayer over ad-hoc wireless networks, allowing up to six players to participate in several different game modes. The multiplayer modes for wireless include Liberty City Survivor, Protection Racket, Get Stretch, The Hit List, Street Rage, The Wedding List, and Tanks for the Memories.

Players in multiplayer can select pedestrian and character models as their player avatars that are usually not available for the single player mode. However, Rockstar removed these modes from the PS2 port of GTA Liberty City Stories.

A special feature for GTA: Liberty City Stories (though only on the Sony PSP and mobile versions of the game) is the option to listen to custom soundtracks. Previously, only Grand Theft Auto games on Xbox and PC could implement custom soundtracks.

Game Reviews

Cast your minds back to 2005. That was the year YouTube was founded, the iPhone was still a twinkle in Steve Jobs’s eye, and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories launched on Sony’s PSP handheld.

11 years later it’s made the leap to mobile, and has finally launched on iOS for the princely sum of £4. 99 / $6.99 with an Android version in the pipeline.

Liberty City Stories brings you back to Rockstar’s version of New York City and reintroduces you to wisecracking Tony Cipriani.

To get in the good books of the crime kingpin Salvatore Leone you have to run around town doing all manner of nefarious tomfoolery. Like stealing cars, blowing up tanks, and, er, delivering pizzas.

A GTA by any other name

Like any GTA game you’ve poured hours into, gameplay is exactly what you’d expect.

You accept and complete missions, which often introduce you to other characters who give you their own missions. The more missions you do, the more the plot of the game is slowly revealed.

However, Liberty City is not designed to be a direct replica of its console cousins. Missions here are deliberately brief and more streamlined to allow for shorter mobile play sessions.

You can still race speedboats and perform elaborate assassinations, but you’ll do it all in a matter of minutes – you speedy Gonzalez.

That’s not to say the whole game will be over in a flash. Completing only the main missions will takes around ten hours, but there’s still days of side quests and collectibles to complete and discover.

But what about the controls? The whole game has been given a lick of virtual control paint, and, well, if you hate virtual controls, Liberty City Stories isn’t going to change your mind.

For instance, you can tap your target to lock on your weapon or fists but it doesn’t always work. Sometimes there’ll be too many enemies standing together… or the whole thing just goes a bit squiffy.

Take matters in your own hands

Thankfully, GTA Liberty Cities does support MFI controllers. In our view, this is the way the game is meant to be played — not dropping all the swear bombs while mashing your touchscreen with your forehead.

All in all though the game looks and plays brilliantly. Rockstar has buffed up the textures with a bit of spit and polish, meaning that even on an iPad’s larger screen they look crisp.

The graphics have the same nostalgic, 2005-esque polygon counts and porting onto mobile hasn’t dulled the flavour of the original.

Just over a decade ago, Liberty City Stories was the first «real» console quality handheld port of a GTA game.

Sure, there’d been toned down, top down, 2D attempts to capture the essence of GTA, but never a full blown 3D replica you could carry around in your pocket.

Today Liberty City Stories is breaking new ground again by bringing that experience to mobile for the first time.

With real time lighting and shadows, 60 FPS gameplay on the latest Apple devices, and cross-platform cloud saves, it’s gently guided the game into 2016.

Now, if you’ll excuse us, we have some NPCs to bludgeon.

Despite some occasionally clunky touchscreen controls, this GTA classic has been brought screaming into 2016
