Playstation Update

The PSP version of Rockstar’s tremendously popular Grand Theft Auto series has to be one of the best games available for the PSP. As always, plenty of sex, swearing, and wonton violence round out the picture. Ok they are the picture. If you don’t already have this game, you must get it.

IGN writes:

Few games actually change the way you feel about a platform. They take the established standard and tear it to pieces. Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City (LCS) Stories is one such game. It takes the preconceptions about what a handheld can do and totally ignores them. It provides an experience so large and so complex that it’s a wonder that it actually runs at all. The GTA series has always succeeded in sheer scope and complexity, and thankfully, it’s no different on the as a handheld. There are no hardcore sacrifices, either. LCS uses the same kind of intricate 3D engine that put the series (and the developer) on the map with GTA III.

Gamespot says:

Call it Grand Theft Auto Gaiden. While there have been handheld takes on the GTA series in the past, none of them have ever properly captured the things that made the modern installments in the series so popular. Things like the sprawling environments, its fast-action freestyle mayhem, and, of course, the series’ great sense of humor just haven’t come across on a handheld before. Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories is not without its problems, either; but it gets enough of the series’ signature features in there to do you right.
