GTA: Liberty City Stories – Weapons and Vehicles Screenshot Overdose
And about time too.
Rockstar Games today sent us over an asset disc containing some screenshots from the looming Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories title in the works for PSP.
The publisher has taken the two key elements of the game - namely moving about and killing - and put them under the microscope, explaining how both in-game mechanics will work. As for vehicles, the message seems to be that there’s lots of them. They all come with interesting descriptions such as,

You could take a leisurely drive through the seaside Atlantic Quays in your convertible compact, ride your Faggio scooter through the St. Marks Italian District to pick up some special Sicilian spicy sausage from Casa’s Delicatessen, or take one of Liberty City’s famed ferries for a tranquil ride to Staunton Island.
