GTA Liberty City Stories
GTA games have appeared on iOS before, and while they’re perfectly playable, those games weren’t originally made for a small screen. That’s a different story at Liberty City Stories. The game appeared on the PSP a little over ten years ago and is now available for iPhone and iPad.
Liberty City Stories plays in the same environment as GTA III, with the improvement that you can now enter more buildings and that you can ride around on motorcycles. Furthermore, the camera system has been adapted to this time, so that you do not have to worry about it too much. It seems like a small point, but it is important for the game experience. However, don’t expect a huge GTA world as you see them on the game consoles today, it looks a bit empty, but luckily there is plenty to do.
Because the gameplay is as you are used to from GTA. Often you drive from A to B to perform a shootout somewhere and thus complete the mission. In addition, you drive people around and steal cars. Or you just make some chaos in the city so that everything explodes and the police come after you. You have the freedom, it’s not called Liberty City for nothing.
Play with controller
The GTA game can be controlled on iOS with virtual buttons. That works, but it is better to connect a controller, because Liberty City Stories offers support for MFi controllers. It simply makes playing a lot easier.
GTA Liberty City Stories is a great version for iOS 8 or newer that has been polished up nicely for the different screens. It also runs fine on iOS devices. The app costs 6.99 euros and requires about 2GB of free storage space.
