Grand Theft Auto drives back onto its home console, in this PlayStation 2 port of the series' PlayStation Portable debut. Liberty City Stories returns Grand Theft Auto III fans to the three island boroughs of Liberty City for another adventure of violence, speed, and free-form criminality. Players take the role of a new character, however; another up-and-coming thug who follows his own underworld storylines towards infamy, through a series of loosely related missions. Of course, as in the other contemporary GTA games, players are free to explore the expansive, interactive game world as they wish, participating in side-challenges or simply stirring up trouble however they see fit. Sprawling city streets are full of ineffectual police, cash-carrying pedestrians, and cars of a wide variety of fictional makes and models, all there for the taking. Also in line with series tradition, the game's soundtrack comes in the form of satirical radio stations which are available in any car, each featuring a long playlist of licensed music.
