This game is everything you want in a portable game, quick missions, great graphics and a huge career mode. In this game you can do virtually anything, killing people for no reason and escaping from cops, hiring prostitutes, the list goes on and on. You start as this guy named Vince in Liberty City (same place as GTA III)and you are very low in the mofia. You start to earn your rank in the mob by completing various missions. The plot isn't excellent but it has pretty good depth in comparrison to other PSP titles. There is a huge range of realistic cars, weapons and other things of that sort. Also there are fun cheats for when you are just fooling around such as new weapons, cars that drive on water, and never wanted by the cops. This is a must buy game but only if you are over 18.

I am amazed at how polished this game is. This game really shows the power of the PSP. It literally is as good as the previous GTA games! I expected a watered down version because it was on the PSP.
The game is a prequel to GTA 3, so the environment is the same, which in my opinion is not a bad thing. That said the game has new songs and dialogue on the radio stations, and many of the automobiles from Vice CIty and San Andreas have been added.
My only complaint is that it took me awhile to get used to the controls, but overall I think Rockstar did a good job of bringing GTA to the PSP. I give it 5 stars. If you love GTA you will not be disappointed!

Maybe I'm still just starry-eyed from the wonders of new technological loot, and that's why I'm so awestruck by this disc. Still, when I spend $50 on something, it tends to make me less forgiving of flaws, and that has to count for something.
The Liberty City experience is brought to the small screen with great effect with "Liberty City Stories," and is well worth the cash spent. In many ways, this will feel like Grand Theft Auto III, but with a few marked differences.
The character of Tony Cipriani is much richer than the original protagonist (which isn't saying much since the dude didn't talk), adding the element of third-person identification that Rockstar picked up on with Vice City and San Andreas. The resurgence of familiar faces and voices is welcome, and the sidequests (Taxi, Emergency, Vigilante) are all here for your casual pleasure, and lend well to on-the-go play, since missions require a bit more concentration.
That said, playing the game out in public re-adjusted my social barometer. This happened once before for me, when a friend of mine was watching me play Vice City, and saw me casually plow through a bunch of pedestrians. "I think you killed that woman," he said with shock, and in response, I slammed the breaks, backed up, got out of the car, ran over to her, and took her money. You can lose sight of how vicious the behavior in this game is, and the sounds of violence and anger come out of this thing in s barrage that is not friendly to the uninitiated. The language is raw, people, so use your earbuds if you don't want dirty looks on the bus. You'll be glad you did anyways, since the stereo soundscape of this game is so well spread.
It's immersive, it's bloody, it's over-the-top and ironic. It's Grand Theft Auto in portable form, and it's pretty much perfect.

Back in Liberty City, and so far, what I've seen is a game that is far superior to the original 3D visit to Liberty City in GTA3 and way more impressive than any title yet on the PSP.
The graphics are impossibly good for a handheld, the load times are completely painless compared to other PSP titles, the controls take only about a half hour to sink in, the missions are tighter and shorter than anything else in the series, and this is undeniably the PSP's killer app and possibly the greatest handheld game ever made.
If you're a fan of the GTA series, you'll absolutely want this. That's all you need to know. You might also need to know that there's an application on the game's official site which lets you add custom soundtracks to your memory stick. Or that there are multiplayer modes. Or--Oh, just get it.

The game is lots of fun because you can follow missions or just mess around in the city its self. there are other things you can do like race or ride a dirt bike through courses.

This game is fantastic and Rockstar did their damdest to fit a lot of stuff on 1 small disc. This game walks all over the GTA game that was released on the GBA by a long shot. Gameplay is open ended as always and so far difficulty is not too bad. The controls will take some getting used to but you can switch from using the analog nub to using the d pad if you wish. I am very impressed with the graphics and sound quality isn't too bad. Now I'm not sure but have read that in order to access the custom soundtrack abilty you have to reach level 20 before you can access the feature. I would give this a soild 9 just for the gameplay alone. One downer for me Toni and Donald Love are voiced by other actors and not by Michael Madesen or Kyle Maclachlan but I still give this 2 thumbs up. Bravo Rockstar.

This game is a must-have for every psp owner, even if you've never played any other GTA. Incredible fun and long, this game will really blow your mind. I just love the feature of playing the game with your own music, never get tired of it. If you have a psp and haven't got this game yet, do it NOW.

I picked up the game the day of its release. Getting home late didn't give me much time to explore the game, but as soon as the music began, I was stunned, STUNNED to discover I had quite possibly one of the the best handheld games ever right in front of me. The load time of starting up the game is much shorter that those I've seen on the console, the city flows by without a touch of slowdown, and the voice acting goes beyond the call of duty.
There are a few negatives. You can't steer and look around in your car at the same time. Motorcycle controls are extremely loose, as are driving controls. Targeting holds on to dead guys, so you have to retarget every enemy. Still the experience on the PSP is amazing. Radio stations still function fluidly, animations are fast, if a little choppy in some areas, and there's more and more stuff spilling out as you play.
This game is amazing to look at in every respect, and makes you really want to do nothing more than get sucked into this world. If you're a GTA fan, this is the game that is a must.
