The Liberty City Stories main theme has no business slapping this hard

This was my first own GTA. I played it daily back then. I absolutely love it, it is a classic for me.

The best line in this game is “Jesus Tony you drive like a bitch”😂😂 delivery is perfect

I had an ex who’s sister looked exactly like maria, but had katarina’s exact personality, she was completely nuts and out of control. I hated her so much 😑

33:47 He was a cannibal in GTA III. In a mission with Ray Machowsky t's mentioned he's been seen at a morgue party and he makes you destroy the evidence, wich leads to unlocking him as a mission giver.

3d era of GTA games is my favorite gaming experience of all time, i watch all kinds of videos about them. Thank you man.

This was my first GTA and it's amazing to see someone give it the attention it deserves by doing a deep dive into it all these years later. Great work man!

Frank Vincent is such a legend for lending his voice to Salvatore Leone in all the games he appears in.

This game was my childhood. The amount of hours under my covers pretending to be asleep but I was playing this

PSP emulation has always blown my mind in quality when compared to other 3D emulated systems.

Great video. I agree that Liberty City Stories is a very underrated game. For something so simple, it had a lot of features and an overall atmosphere that were different than GTA3. I also loved the architectural and geographical changes to the map - like the projects in Portland still being under construction, or the Italian district on Staunton Island.

I loved this game. GTA III is my favorite 3D universe GTA game. Like you, I jumped at the chance to play a new game set in Liberty City and was seriously surprised.

After randomly stumbling upon your Bully review recently, I spent the next new days going through most of your catalogue. I have to say, I'm disappointed with KZfaq's recommendation system for not recommending you sooner! You cover so much stuff I'm interested in, especially the Digimon World games.

The PS2 version didn't run so hot on real hardware either. The PS2 port of VCS ran great though and had a little extra content and bug fixes.

I played the hell out this game back in high school. While the longetivity of the DS was unprecedented, the PSP just had so much more narrative driven games. And a lot of them were absolutely fantastic. This game included…

I miss Rockstar Leeds. When we were 16 we would drive up there and watch them playing GTAV most likely stress testing the online features before they dropped. So cool that team made this.

I played this and VCS on my first deployment. It was my first GTA and absolutely blew my mind. I still have the discs but play emulated every few years. Still incredibly entertaining.

This game for me is pure nostalgia, and I love it so much. I know it's not what holidays are for but when I was 13 or so I just remember being in Spain for a couple weeks with my family and playing this by the pool and it was glorious. No worries, no cares, just having fun 🥲

I played this after GTA 3, Vice City & San Andreas, but this was the first GTA I managed to beat since it didn't constantly freeze on me like the others so it's the most nostalgic for me.

Man I remember playing Library City Stories on my PSP while in bed as a kid. I think I finished like around five in the morning before getting caught

Having unique character models for certain scenes is something we really take for granted nowadays. I ended up playing the game years after it came out and didn't even consider the ingenuity behind those small touches. This just demonstrates Rockstar's passion for paying attention to small details.

I really like the melancholy tone of this one and especially Vice City Stories. VCS and Chinatown Wars are tied for my favorite GTA.

So glad to say this is the very first comprehensive review of this game in YT! FuzzySlippers, you've actually been doing the GTA series the real justice it deserves in terms of ACTUALLY showcasing the stories, mechanics and moment to moment gameplay. Also, Liberty City Stories is one of the best handheld games of ALL TIME!!!

I remember having this on the PSP. I can’t even imagine the hours I’ve dumped into this game considering the fact I only had three games for it at the time. This, The Simpsons game, and GTA Chinatown Wars.

Personally, my favourite GTA. I loved that it was based on mafia's.

The hitmen looked like a whole bunch of Jason Stathams 😂😂😂😂

33:53 That type of erratic behavior and such a stark difference in character could imply that he's on drugs in LCS

At least there was a lot of Frank Vincent in here! He could not have been replaced by a voice actor in my opinion

Been binge-watching all of your videos. Keep up the excellent work. One thing to note though, Donald love has always been a cannibal. I'm gonna quote the wiki: "Donald Love is a cannibal, as seen during the mission Cam Pain, where he eats human ribs and describes human flesh as being like chicken, but more sentient."

The voice actor for Tony in LCS was also on Gotham as one of Boss Maroni's men

Bro that intro in 9:31 is so well done and fits nicely with the beating sound

It's funny that the most psychotic protagonist is in the most underrated game

Salvatore dying after using the "pedestrians riot" cheat is probably not a deliberate anti-cheat but a consequence of the cheat's effect: everyone around Salvatore is hostile and will attack him.

Tony's voice acting is so good I remember it 10 years later

The intro theme song for this game was perfect

I played LCS so much as a kid that when I played the game again recently, I exactly know where to find body armor, weapons, and packages around the map, as well as knowing a lot of the cheats by heart.

Liberty City Stories was the first GTA i played. I remember when i finally played GTA 3 i was disappointed to see that there isnt really any main missions on the last island Shoreside Vale other than the ending.

Great video dude, I am very much looking forward to gta vice city stories, it has a special place in my heart, just like vice city.

The music in this game was great. Some of them even available as in-game ringtones for GTA IV

ive been waiting for this one. perfect way to end the night.

Vincenzo is actually voiced by Joe Lo Truglio from Brooklyn Nine Nine

Haaaa! "Slash" TV! Amazing reference to the old arcade game, SMASH TV, Especially considering that was the first thing I thought of seeing the camera angle and level layout. I bet this mission was made entirely with that in mind. XD

I actually have this as my top 3 GTA behind SA and IV so I’m glad to see it getting it’s just due.

I love LCS and VCS so much. Handheld consoles rule

I love LCS from the Bottom of my Heart❤so many Memories of this Game and it's going to be 18 Years old this Year.

Happy to see you have sponsors bro, keep going I love your retrospectives

This was the first Grand Theft Auto game I played my brother just plopped it one day in front of me and I just started playing and hearing that theme song for the first time I was hooked

Love your videos man! Keep it up!!!

This was my first GTA game, at the time i didn’t had a memory card and had to put the console on sleep mode and don’t let its battery die or the game would be reset to 0 haha

"Easy to pick up, play for a bit, and then put down." *Glares intensely at Armored Core PSP games.* I didn't own one of...any. No psp or AC games, but after getting into it last year before 6 was announced, I can say that you would definitely "pick up, play for a bit, and then put it DOWN." Great video by the way! Keep up the amazing work!

This game was the game that introduced me to gta and i haven’t looked back then I found SA and it was game over after that 😭

Your stuff keeps getting better and better. I really enjoy your long formatted, 'looking back' type videos. Btw, not a lot of people talk about LCS, so it's extra nice seeing you talk about it. Take care and keep grinding, my gamer.

I played the hell outta this game and vice city stories in high school.. I swear the 2000s was the shi

Great video, also i loooooved the Nuts little video at the start!

Love seeing you have a new video up!

The game was solid in the PSP. Remember playing this for hours just goofing around like spawning a tank and just cause chaos until the tank blows. Still one of my favorites from the PSP days.

I bought LCS because i love Michael Madsen. Of course, to pinch pennies, Rockstar didn’t bring him back to reprise his role from GTA 3. That first mission i played sure was fun!

My introduction to Play Station and GTA. This was one of the first games I played on the psp, Need for speed: Most Wanted was the first. I still remember dying multiple times trying to drive down Sal's drive with no use of the break button or easing off the accelerator so ended up in the water 😂 and even my brother and dad did the same when they had a go lmao. I have a lot of nostalgia for the game. My favourite parts are the goofy characters and dialogue including the pedestrian one liners lol

I remember playing this on PSP when it originally came out, had a good time. Vice City Stories was also great, and even better my favorite character comes back in it and is was voiced by the same person.

Idk why but I like it when games take random minor characters and make them fleshed out protags.

The 3D era GTAs were the best for me. I played and beaten every one of them. From GTA 3 to Vice City Stories. The newer GTAs look good and plays good but it feels like in terms of things to do, rockstar took a step back from what they did in SA. While GTA 4 had great story and characters, I find it hard to even finish it or play it for too long without getting bored. Not even the radio stations are interesting compared to the 3D eras except for integrity 2.0.

now you gotta do Vice city stories as well dude, the best game on my psp. Nice vid btw

The mom putting a hit on her son deal is an homage to a certain big mafia tv series.

I played cap out of this game on psp back in the days VC stories was maybe more advanced but this is one stick with me more

Just ordered this game for the nostalgia, i used to play it when i was 6 years old

Been looking forward to this one! Another great video man keep it up.

Ps2 settings needed to smooth out framrate: allow 8-bit graphics. The game is essentially always trying to load the highest detailed LODs

I never played LCS (though that's not saying much as I've not touched most of the 3D era games) but damn, the theme from this game slaps!

You mentioned "no big celebrity" voice actors. What about Frank Vincent, who was in Goodfellas, Casino and The Sopranos, voicing Sal Leone?

Great video; please VC stories as well

I really love the details in this game and how it connects to 3. Same with Vice City and VCS.

My Favorite gta of all time. Liberty city in the 3d verse i just so atmosperic and perfectly fitting for the fucked up shit that happens. Dark, gritty and always raining. And the story, music, charackters is so well done. Excellent

Love this!!! Subscribed!!!

Unreal video man! Unfortunate that I’m seeing it 11 months later. Great game

I recently played the PS2 version on PCSX2 at a smooth 60fps. Had to overclock the EE to 180% and get a patch for 60fps.

A kick in the nostalgia nuts, thanks. Well put from start to finish!

Man I loved this game. Also them having DJ Clue on game radio was awesome too.

Earned yourself a sub. Great content

Speaking about PSP JRPGs, one of the my faves is Gladiator Begins but seriously, LCS has my fave radio station in the series, Radio del Mundo.

I've been waiting for this video for a number of days. Your retrospectives are the best I've seen on KZfaq 👏🏼 LCS is my 3rd favourite GTA. The story and the Toney's personality is what really made me play it over and over again. I played the mobile port which is by far the best port among other GTA mobile ports. They kept everything intact with improved textures. I recently downloaded the pc version with texture mods. Haven't played it yet but don't expect to see many differences. Overall this game really exceeded my expectations.

I'm late to this, but there are right analog stick mods for proper camera control and UI mods for HD textures when playing on PPSSPP for both this and Vice City Stories. Right analog stick support was adapted from the Vita modding scene when using the Adrenaline PSP loader, supporting 2x res and fan created right analog stick support for certain titles. Nicely done retrospective!

Fantastic video keep it up

Loved the stories games back in the day played them on ps2, cant wait for a re-release

this game was really fun whenever it ran higher than 10 frames per second

saving this for work tonight. stoked

Toni is the definition of fuck around and find out. I see him as one of the most ruthless protagonists. He wasnt just out for himself, but for the family too. What he accomplished would take the other gangsters around him many men and years to achieve.

I never had any problem with the ps2 version

I remember taking the reporters moped after killing him and it was indestructible. I played so much of this game back in the day

The memories of muiltiplayer with the homies on PSP and nowdaus I still play this muiltiplayer and single with my emulator for the PSP

That game should also be remastered along with vice city stories, especially when there’s many people who are wanting to try out.

Got a bug 56:04 where the cop kill salvatore at the start of the mission until I reset, it was funny the first time of the 20

I certainly was not expecting to see yakuza references in a gta video. glad to see another fan of the series

This game is WAY crazier than 3. I regret not looking into this one more.

That chainsaw mission in the boat was the worse!!!!!

Fun fact: there is a PC version made by fans almost from the ground up using PC GTA Vice City as base and exported assets from LCS that is really, really good.

Ah this one is very special to me cuz this was very first psp game I got for myself

I recently started playing through this when I dug my old psp out. One of my fav gta games

Good video. Thanks 👏🏻

I was just thinking about when you'd drop this video lol
