On a visual level, the game looks simply awesome. It's not quite as detailed as "Vice City" or "San Andreas," but it absolutely destroys the original "GTA 3."

Despite the new control scheme and a minor technical glitch here or there, once you’ve gotten past these idiosyncrasies you’re left with a truly engaging title with plenty of content to keep you recharging your PSP’s batteries time and time again.

GTA: Liberty City Stories — 9.5/10
A strong portable entry that successfully brings the classic GTA formula to handheld devices. Set in Liberty City, it offers an engaging story centered around Toni Cipriani’s rise in the criminal underworld. While it lacks some features of later titles, it delivers solid missions, memorable characters, and the open-world freedom fans expect. It’s an impressive achievement that captures the essence of GTA on the go.

My Review – Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories – 10/10
I gave Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories a 10 out of 10 because it’s a fantastic addition to the GTA series that brings Liberty City to life in a new and exciting way. The story is engaging, the characters are memorable, and the missions are fun and varied.
The open world is full of things to do, from side missions to exploring every corner of the city, and the gameplay feels smooth and satisfying. It captures the chaos, freedom, and style that make GTA great, while also adding its own improvements and touches.
This is why GTA: Liberty City Stories is a 10 out of 10.

Rockstar has cut no corners in crafting the game for the PSP and it shows. This is the real deal... A few control issues hold it back from getting a perfect score, but we'll save that for "Vice City Stories" (we hope).
90
It’s a full GTA on an UMD, capiche? Besides the controls and a few way too difficulty missions LCS provides you with more fun and durability than three standard PSP games put together.
90
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.
83
On one hand, it is watered-down, it is not as interesting, it is relatively short, and the gameplay is not all that it could have been. On the other hand, it is a real GTA game in the palm of your hand, and it’s pretty well-made to say the least.

An amazing technological showcase for the PSP, but makes the biggest series in gaming feel small. [Jan 2006, p.86]

My first gta **** first game ever to be honest. The story is weak when compared to other mafia games.

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.
