At this earlier time in the GTA lineage, Liberty City is slightly different. For example, [[Luigi Goterelli|Luigi Goterelli's]] [[Sex Club Seven]] is named [[Paulie's Revue Bar]], and is instead owned by [[Joseph Daniel O'Toole]], a pervert working for the [[Sindacco Family]] (from [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]), although the player sees how it later becomes Sex Club Seven. There is also a [[Little Italy]] section of town that does not exist in the Liberty City from GTA III, although its fate is explained in this game. Even the tallest tower in Liberty City in 1998 is only half of its height is compared to [[Grand Theft Auto III|GTA III]]. The way to get from island to island has also been tweaked. A ferry now runs from [[Portland Island]] to [[Staunton Island]], and the tunnel that connects the islands in GTA III has not yet been completed - only the section of the tunnel that runs from north [[Shoreside Vale]] to south Shoreside Vale is open. The [[Callahan Bridge]] (the bridge that was blown up in Grand Theft Auto III) has also not been fully constructed yet. Only after the mission "Driving Mr. Leone", which occurs at around 19% completion, you can actually traverse the bridge as its construction progresses. In addition, motorbikes were previously permitted in the city. The official Liberty City Stories websites reveal that motorbikes were no longer in GTA III due to a public ordinance that banned them that was supported by the [[Maibatsu Corporation]] (which marketed the oversized [[Maibatsu Monstrosity]] in GTA III) in order to promote the use of automobiles in the city.{{Chronology}} | At this earlier time in the GTA lineage, Liberty City is slightly different.

The PSP version of GTA Liberty City Stories has a [[multiplayer]] mode, for up to 6 players through wifi ad-hoc mode (same area). The game features 7 modes of wireless multiplayer gaming, in which various pedestrian and character models from the single player mode are available as player avatars. Rockstar removed these modes from the PS2 port of GTA Liberty City Stories. | The PSP version of GTA Liberty City Stories has a [[multiplayer]] mode, for up to 6 players through wifi ad-hoc mode (same area).

The first is [[Liberty City Survivor]], a tie-in to the radio advertisement found in GTA III of a fictional reality television show of the same name. In Liberty City Survivor, players fight for themselves in a deathmatch. The first player to reach a certain number of kills, or with the highest score when the timer runs out is the winner. Players can also play in teams, or "gangs". Ultimately players will be able to choose from over 60 different characters, and play on all three islands, depending on progress through the single player storyline, but from the get go, it is limited to Portland with a generous nine characters to choose from. | *The first is [[Liberty City Survivor]], a tie-in to the radio advertisement found in GTA III of a fictional reality television show of the same name.

The second mode of play is [[Protection Racket]], in which players attack an opposing player's gang base in order to destroy four limos while the other gang tries to protect its limos. When time runs out, or a gang destroys the other gang's limos, a new round begins with the gang roles reversed. | *The second mode of play is [[Protection Racket]], in which players attack an opposing player's gang base in order to destroy four limos while the other gang tries to protect its limos.

In [[Get Stretch]], players try to steal the other gang's gang cars from their base and take it to their base.

In [[The Hit List]], players have to kill the Marked player as quickly as possible. Survive as long as possible when you are the Mark. In the first round, one player will be chosen randomly as the Mark, all other players must try to kill the Marked player as quickly as possible. Once a Marked player has been killed, a different player will be randomly chosen to be the Mark. Making a successful kill on a Marked player will award you with extra time that is added to your survival time at the end of the game. Once all players have been Marked and killed, the player with the longest survival time wins. The Marked player's vehicle will take damage over time. | *In [[The Hit List]], players have to kill the Marked player as quickly as possible. Survive as long as possible when you are the Mark.

In [[Street Rage]] players must drive through the checkpoints to get to the finish line first. Players are allowed to change vehicles and shoot other players to win the race. Players will be automatically re-spawned in a vehicle on the track after a short period of time if they do not have a vehicle or if they have been killed. The player that finishes the race first wins. The Sticky Tires powerup improves vehicle handling for limited time, while Instant Repair is just that, an instant repair for your vehicle. | *In [[Street Rage]] players must drive through the checkpoints to get to the finish line first.

[[The Wedding List]] is a free-for-all game where players must collect cars scattered throughout the city and deliver them to shipping crates. Only players in the vehicles to be collected will know the destinations of the shipping crates. Cash is awarded based on the condition of the cars when they are delivered. Once all the cars have been collected and delivered, the player with the most cash wins this game mode. | *[[The Wedding List]] is a free-for-all game where players must collect cars scattered throughout the city and deliver them to shipping crates.

In [[Tanks for the Memories]] players have to be the first to the tank and try to survive the target Tank Time. Other players must try to destroy the tank before the Tank Time is reached. If this happens, the player who caused the most damage to the tank will occupy a new tank and, as before, it must be destroyed as quickly as possible. This continues until a player reaches the Tank Time; this player is declared the winner. | *In [[Tanks for the Memories]] players have to be the first to the tank and try to survive the target Tank Time.
