LCS is so good at continuing the story that I am honestly satisfied at its conclusion. The continuity is so seamless at parts it puts most franchise games to shame. And that to me makes these games so great. It is located in Southern Alderney, bordered by Hardtack Ave & Fulcrum Ave in the west (Acter & Tudor), the West River in the east (Westminster & The Meat Quarter in Algonquin, Liberty City), Grommet St in the South (Acter Industrial Park), and Normandy in the north. But with LCS, you're in the mix, you're the real mover and shaker who makes the world of GTA 3 make sense. Port Tudor is a seaport city in the State of Alderney. It just felt Vic was too independent of the previous events of the story somewhat. The fun that I didn't derive from Vice City Stories. With no GTA 3, there is no Liberty City Stories. It's a true sequel(or prequel?) in that it doesn't exist without the ground laid beneath it. I played GTA 3 a million times over as a kid but played LCS before that one so when I play it again, my appreciation for it improves massively. Rockstar isnt really much of a DLC-heavy developer, but when it adds downloadable content it goes in all the way. GTA Episodes From Liberty City was the first real downloadable content for the series. Donald Love is a grimey sleaze ball of a politician you hate to hear a word out of. The Grand Theft Auto games are among the most popular and best-selling series in the industry. JD O Toole is a total schmuck but he's lovable. Vincenzo is punchable but witty as hell which kinda makes the twist surprising because he seems like such a goon. Salvatore is given so much depth, as is Maria and her slaternly demenour. It suvks that Tony can't swim or do much, but the game, when approached from the New York mobster angle just makes perfect sense. The music, which is filled with original stuff you can't find anywhere other than the game is very stuck in time and to someone who finds that late 90s and early 2000s aesthetic played out or just boring, I can get why they don't like it but to me, it is just brilliant. The city(pretty much GTA 3) is pretty and simple to navigate and once you go to a destination at any point, you pretty much remember the whole layout.

Just like Vercetti did when you learned he was called the Harwood Butcher(low key badass). He's witty and he's tough as nails and makes your bullshit endeavors believable because he fits the bill.
