Once a trusted wise guy in the Leone crime family, Toni Cipriani was forced into hiding after killing a made man. Now he is back and it is time for things to be put right. The streets of Liberty City are in turmoil. Warring mafiosi vie for control as the town begins to self-destruct under waves of political corruption, organized crime, drug trafficking and union strikes. No one can be trusted as Toni tries to clean up the mess of the city's chaotic underworld. Deranged hit men, morally depraved tycoons, cynical politicians and his own mother stand in his way as Toni tries to bring the city under Leone control. Forced to fight for his life in an odyssey that will shake Liberty City to its foundations, Toni must use any means necessary to secure his place in the leadership of the Leone family in a town up for grabs. -- SPECIFICATIONs --------------------------------------- ESRB Rating : M for Mature Genre/Category : Action System : Playstation 2 Number of Players : 1 On-Line Compatible: No www.take-two.com
Customer ReviewsReviewed on 2008-07-02      better than vice city stories Okay this is a much better GTA game than Vice Stories. In this game your more of the iTALIAN gangsta. Hopefully this game is better to others too. |  | Reviewed on 2008-04-30      Its like an update from gta3 This game was like the same as part3, but just some new stuff, i gottan board of this game. GTA is has the same stuff just beating up people, shotting, stealing cars, and the police chaseing after you thats real old and boring, so this game was just the same nonsense. |  | Reviewed on 2008-04-19      Great Game This a great game and a must have for fans of the gta series. taking a trip back to liberty city with updated gameplay is allot of fun. This is definitely a good game to hold you over until GTA4 if you have not played it yet. Well worth $20. |  | Reviewed on 2008-03-22      this is a great rememberable game! i love this game! (not as much as san andreas, of course) but i would play it again. |  | Reviewed on 2008-03-16      Responsible game gives player the choice of splattering civilians Rockstar figured out an excellent way to hold over GTA fans until the next big re-imagining of the now-classic series. They've gone back and souped up the older games and offered a new experience of old favorites.
GTA: LCS re-does GTA III by returning to the crime-ridden toilet of Liberty City in 1998. This time you're Tony Cipriani (sadly not voiced by Michael Madsen), working for Don Salvatore Leone (yes, Frank Vincent) and going through the usual mayhem, insanity, and blood-drenched violence on the streets.
This is a straight port of the PS2 game from 2005, and it comes off very well. If this makes sense, the game does seem more 'squished' into the frame than earlier proper titles (III and Vice City), but presumably this is because they lifted it off a tiny screen and fitted it to the PS2. The graphics are better--smoother, tighter, brighter, and less subject to those whacky effects of things disappearing and fading when you've been playing the game 72 straight hours.
The missions are definitely easier, perhaps on purpose. This is a game of pure fun---all the familiar Liberty City locales and characters and antics, just enhanced. Motorcycles appear (even with a story on why they weren't around in III), the guns are better, the cops are still insane, there are the usual gangs to whack, more cars, and more radio. This gets an impressive radio soundtrack, even keeping in theme with previous and future games. This is a very intricately scripted game series with a ton of continuity points. Players may not appreciate these things as they ram police barricades, cripple bystanders, run down firemen with blood-slicked tires, bomb intersections, blow up helicoptors, chop off heads, torch people alive, burst heads with sniper shots, and beat people to death in front of others.
Excellent game, an absolute-no-brainer for GTA fans, some may even prefer this over earlier titles. All the greatness of III, and then some. Followed by Vice City Stories, a similar concept and treatment. |  |
