    Esta decente el juego pero el problema es que reciclaron cosas del GTA III en vez del Vice City o del San Andreas
    Para ser un juego del primer año de la PSP fue impresionante ya que parece que estas jugando un juego de PS2 y en se mismo año estaba llegando la septima generacion de consolas como la Xbox 360

    Just more of the same thing, over and over and over. I played this because, at that time, there was nothing better to play for this console.

    Uno de los gtas en 3d mas flojo, sino el que mas. Si bien, comprendo que la psp estaba mas limitada que varias consolas en ese tiempo, creo que hubieron aspectos que si se podían mejorar.

    Virtually identical to the PS2 version and just as good, which is a real technical achievement for a hand held console. One of the very best games on the PSP.

    At times irritating in its clunkiness, particularly evident in relation to the mission designs, but brimming with atmosphere and emotion. A really pleasant surprise and proof that not only the main parts of the series were so special.

    Yeah, it may not have as much features as San Andreas. But keep in mind, this was originally made to run on a handheld console that's not as powerful as the PS2. So, cut it some slack, will you? Otherwise, it's basically GTA 3, but with more features carried over from its PS2 sequels.

    Well, at least i consider it better than GTA 3 thanks to some quality of life additions like the map and other minor things, but it doesnt add anything to the series besides that, is only an excuse to play a portable GTA, and in that regard the game succeds, in fact, i was really impressive on how this game looks and runs.

And the multiplayer was one of the best in the series. But there´s still all of the problems of previous 3D GTAs like clunky autoaim, some annoying missions, filler secondary missions and no replay value after finishing the game.
    I recommend it if you like 3d GTAs, but dont expect something really new, apart from playing it in any place.    … Expand

    Getting back to Liberty City was a blast. It's not as revolutionary as the original GTA 3 but still an awesome product.

    Great game. One of my favorite parts of gta. It needs a remake or remastered. But that's never going to happen.

    Feels like more of a GTA3 DLC than a standalone game - also you can clearly feel it's a handheld game, not a complete GTA experience. Still a decent game tho.

    Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories is a masterpiece of a portable game. I've been playing on Android, and thanks to the "Mix Tape" radio function, that is playing your favorite music in a GTA title during an epic police chase, the gameplay stays fresh. Speaking of gameplay, expect the typical 3D GTA formula with slightly shorter missions to make up for it's "portable" market.

There is a PS2 port of this game, but the Android/IOS and PSP ports are the best ways of playing this fantastic game. For completionists, you have trophies to collect, big jumps to hit, and of course, rampages! Similar to GTA: San Andreas, there are gang members that shoot you on sight, there is even a portion of the campaign where your own mother puts hits on you until you become a "made man". The amount of unlockable content in this game is second to none, you'll always find something to unlock in this game. Final verdict? 10/10… Expand

    GTA LCS is a surprising return to Liberty City in a way that fits in your pocket to keep you guessing what’s happening next as you play as the Mafioso right-hand man, Toni Cipriani and it did not disappoint. Plays well, and fits well in your pocket or console I must say.

    GTA:LCS is a very fun game. Its far from a masterpiece but its still a good game. I enjoyed it but its replay value is low. When I finshed the story, I was done with the game. I have no urge to replay it.

    My favorite Grand Theft Auto spinoff on the PSP. I think it is better than Vice City Stories.

    The graphics are much better than the PS2 version. It has much better frame rate and pop-up than the PS2 version. The soundtrack is really enjoyable. I love Flashback FM, Liberty Jam and MSX FM. The other radio stations were very underwhelming. The sound is very good. The gameplay is    My favorite Grand Theft Auto spinoff on the PSP. I think it is better than Vice City Stories.

The pastimes and side missions are more fun than Vice City Stories.

    The story is the only thing I don't like about this game.

    As a value proposition, there's nothing on PSP that comes close. It's a gigantic game; the core gameplay will probably take you 40 or 50 hours to get through, and it has 33 additional "games" that have the potential to occupy you another five or even 10 hours, if you really want to push it.

    Although flawed, Liberty City Stories is a remarkable achievement; it shames the efforts that many other developers have put into their PSP games.

    While rough around the edges, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories offers a deep, console-like GTA experience. There's so much to see and do that finishing the main story portion leaves around 60% of the game to experience.
