2012.21: Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories

Time took to complete: 12hrs:25mins

Jesus holy ball christ are the gunfight controls bad. Unfortunately VITA's PSP emulation right stick can only be assigned if the game used the face buttons as the camera, which Rockstar didn't with GTA for obvious reasons so I was stuck with one analogue gameplay and ANY gunfight that has two or more enemies, it just becomes a messy and annoying cluster fuck. Pure frustration.

The game is what you'd expect, set in original LC from GTAIII, very nice and nostalgic. Amusing and wacky characters that tell you to go do things and you go do them. One unique part was I needed $20,000 for a mission and I always stayed well packed and armoured so I only had like $4,000, which meant I actually had to go and earn money. First time in GTA money and doing side missions REALLY mattered and it felt great.

Nice bite sized missions set in the city that started it all and good old GTA I can't help but love despite it's flaws;

8/10.
