Grand Theft Auto Advance - GBA (2004)įinally, Rockstar saw fit to give its baby to a different developer (Digital Eclipse, now Backbone Entertainment).
The game was originally announced as a handheld port of Grand Theft Auto 3.
Somewhere along the line, though, someone realised that this was a stupid idea and this GBA entry turned into a prequel to that game, instead. So, it's still set in Liberty City and features the same familiar landmarks, but all the missions have been changed, the story is different, the hidden packages have been moved, and the train system has vanished. Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories - PSP (2005) GTA Advance fared a little better at review, but all the usual complaints - like the crappy soundtrack, dodgy controls, and low-fi visuals - raised their ugly heads. The graphical grunt of the PSP meant we finally got the Grand Theft Auto on handheld game we deserved.
Liberty City Stories is a full-on GTA on the go, with few compromises, commendable controls, and everything that makes GTA so GTA.įor this PSP game, Rockstar wasn't content to just port its much-loved PS2 games to the handheld.
