In this game, the main character is Toni Cippriani at his young days. You took out the laundry for this guy in gta 3, yes?

Salvatore Leone (gta3, gta SA) is one of the main characters in this game, and Toni’s intentions troughout the game goes a lot along the lines of being loyal to the family. What I find really awsome about the storyline of this game and any gta game for that matter, is how the storylines are merged. This game plays a lot on that, and answers a lot of mysteries related to the previous games.

The main storyline is a war between the Leone family and the Sindaccos. In the beginning of the game, the Leone family has Portland totally under control, but due to a war on a lot of fronts with the sindaccos, triads and diablos among others, the end result is uber fail.

If you’ve played gta 3, you might have noticed that there are no sindaccos in liberty city .. and yes, there is a relevance there.

New additions to the city and the gameplay would be great multiplayer, side missions such as car salesman, a new mob being construction workers on strike, motorcycles and more realistic (faster) driving. But aside of driving, I would say that the on-foot controls suck even more then the console version of gta 3 (speaking of the autoaim crap in general)

6.8 out of 10 !
The on foot controls drag the game down a lot, but they are not bad. You might find the autoaim difficult to handle during some shootout missions, but after several deaths and mental issues, you might get the hang of it. The storyline is great and most missions seem to be relevant in one way or another. IMO, a must have game for any psp/ps2 owners.
