Rockstar's Games' latest criminal caper is once again one of America's most wanted. However, gamers looking for the title on its familiar turf of the PlayStation 2 will have to think smaller. Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories is now available for Sony's other console, the PSP.

Traditionally known for causing havoc on home-bound consoles, Liberty City Stories marks the first time the franchise has moved to the handheld market in the spirit of its bulkier brothers.

The game is set in the late 1990s and stars Tony Cipriani as a simple man with a simple dream: knocking off all rival crime families and s$#@! in Liberty City to bring the city under the control of the Leone "family." Tony sets about his destiny by mixing with underworld kingpins, carjacking both innocents and enemies, and firing the occasional rocket propelled grenade into a mob of bystanders.

LCS introduces the first proper multiplayer mode for the series, and supports up to six players. A recent update to the game's Web site confirmed three new multiplayer modes to the previously announced trio. The Hit List works like a game of kill the carrier, except instead of tackling the target, it's open season on the player designated "it." Street Rage is a simple racing mode, challenging gamers to make checkpoints in vehicles. In The Wedding List, carjackers steal select cars and deliver them to secret shipping crates in the best condition possible. A final multiplayer mode, Tanks for the Memories, pits one player in a tank while others play tankbuster.

The Web site also features a new trailer with footage of the multiplayer action, as well as some new screens.

The WAB version changer and SXT Version changer don't work with GTA.
I get a game won't start error: FFFF3D or something along those lines...
I want to know if you upgrade to 2.0, if we can downgrade back when we need to. I'm curious as to what version is on the GTA disk. It says it's 2.0 but I wonder if Sony is pulling a fast one again and it's really 2.01...Hmmm

Either way, don't do what I did. Don't buy GTA until this is resolved one way or the other. If you did buy GTA and upgraded, were you able to go back down to 1.5 again?

Looks like this WILL affect GTA's sales, but who knows how much...

Yeah. There was also a new GTA for GBA too. I think they mean its the 1st handheld GTA to be in "glorious 3D"

It's a shame about the update but it doesnt really affect me........
