    I bought this on my PS2 thinking it would be Gta set in Liberty City with San Andreas features, but instead it's basically GTA 3. There aren't even helicopters in this game, and it won't let you crouch even though enemies can crouch.

    Don't buy this game, it sucks. Buy Gta San Andreas or Gta Vice City instead.

    In this game you play as some fake tough guy who never got laid

    Even tho i enjoy playing and am a huge fan of all the gta games i thought liberty city stories would be a great follow up but it was a huge let down to having played last san andreas, being set in the same islands as gta 3 made it not very exciting, mission's were too easy if you ask me and not very challenging at all...it didnt take me long to complete...i thought tht games were to Even tho i enjoy playing and am a huge fan of all the gta games i thought liberty city stories would be a great follow up but it was a huge let down to having played last san andreas, being set in the same islands as gta 3 made it not very exciting, mission's were too easy if you ask me and not very challenging at all...it didnt take me long to complete...i thought tht games were to be imporved as they went along this jus proves im wrong and liberty city stories is a insult to the other 3.… Expand

    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.

    A lack of flourish and invention, along with a tired set of on-foot mechanics, rob it of a higher mark - but too much stands in its favour not to recommend it.

    It is a full-fledged GTA experience, and it is only $20 (even cheaper if you shop around), which means it's an incredibly good value for money at a time when the PS2 is absolutely starved for great new games. Don't buy it if you've played the PSP version, but if you haven't -- it's great.
