After last year's release of GTA Liberty City Stories on iOS the mobile port of the spin-off game has finally made its way to Android devices.
Following the tenth anniversary of GTA III a few years back which Rockstar celebrated by porting the legendary game to mobile devices, all 3D era games have gradually gone portable. Vice City, San Andreas and now Liberty City Stories are all available on both iOS and Android. Allegedly a version of LCS is coming to Amazon devices however there is no official word on when to expect it.
Liberty City Stories' arrival to mobile wasn't as much of a surprise as Rockstar had intended. Not only were players expecting it since it would be next in line for the mobile treatment anyway, but the rating of the game leaked a few days ahead of the official announcement. Apparently Rockstar makes quite a bit of cash off its mobile ports, suggested by how strongly they pushed this version on the Newswire, their own announcement platform.
One of their biggest stunts was a giveaway that possibly was the biggest one in the developer's history. Anyone on the Social Club had the chance to win either the most recent versions of an iPad or iPhone with one-of-a-kind hyper-detailed LCS themed paint-jobs. These weren't shoddy skins either, but automotive class work.
The Android version of Liberty City Stories is virtually identical to the iOS one, the only difference being you don't need to own overpriced fashion devices to be able to play on the go. The controls of the game have been adapted to touchscreens, the draw distance and textures have been improved, and general game stability is better than it was on the PS2 original.
Do we have any long time Liberty City Stories fans here, or is this your first encounter with this GTA installment?
