  1. Except for die-hard GTA fans who don't own a PSP, I wouldn't recommend 'Liberty Cities' to anyone, even those who have never given the GTA a series a shot.
  2. 40
    The rest of the Grand Theft Auto series is dirt cheap now, and offers better gameplay in a far more massive world, with vastly superior graphics. So, unless you have absolutely maxed out on all things GTA, it’s unlikely that Liberty City Stories will be anything but a minor curiosity.

    This game practically tells the backstory of the events that take place in GTA III.

If you've played GTA III before but not LCS, I'd definetely recommended. I plan to play GTA III right after this game, and I think this will give me a new perspective when playing the III again.

    Despite his affection to his mother, Toni is one hell of a cruel man. He never loses his cool, he never backs down from any job, even if means the death of thousands of innocents. He might be the most coldblooded GTA protagonist.

    This game is definetely a must play if you're a GTA series fan! It brings out so many cool details about all these mafias you hear in other GTA titles.
