Liberty City Stories is the first in the GTA Series to have a multiplayer feature made by Rockstar. The multiplayer part of the game will include 7 game modes, with up to 6 players in one game. One PSP will need to host the game and other players connect to the host via the PSP's Wi-fi connection. In the beginning you will only have 9 charcacters to choose from and you will only be able to roam the Portland Island. To unlock more charcters and the other islands in multiplayer mode you first need to finish certain parts in the single player part of the game. There will be up to 60 different unlockable characters to choose from and an equal number of outfits. Some of the characters include Papi Love, Mrs. Menalot, Mona Lott, Toni, Cipriani, Officer 69, Lance Urwell, Lou Scannon and Lou Briant. LCS Multiplayer can only be played using the PSP's Ad Hoc mode (local).

On the radar, at the bottom left corner of the screen, you will be able to see the possitions of fellow players (both team members and opponents), along with coloured icons indicating the position of various power-ups and collectables.

Each weapon types are recognized by a certain icon. A green icon indicates a shotgun or armor, pink shows weapons such as sniper rifles and rocket launchers and orange an AK-47 etc. Power-ups are indicated by a red star.

Collecting a power-up will give you the following:

• Mega Damage - Gives 4x Damage.
• Health Boost - Regenerates Health.
• Invisibility - Makes player invisible on radar.
• Frenzy - Gives Rocket Propelled Grenade Launcher with unlimited ammo.
• Sticky Tires - Improves Vehicle Handling.
• Instant Repair - Instantly Repairs Vehicle.


Multiplayer mode will have unlimmited stamina, where you can constantly sprint by pressing "X" and wont get tired like you would have in single player mode. One great feature is that along with your fellow players, the city will be roamed by pedestrians and the heavy traffic of Liberty City, making it even more of a fun experience.

Below are the 7 different multiplayer modes in Liberty City Stories:


The first player to reach the Kill Limit or have the most kills when the Time Limit has been reached wins the game. Killing another player earns you a point but kill yourself and a point will be deducted. Or team up and kill the opposing gang members. The first gang to reach the Kill Limit or have the most kills when the Time Limit has been reached wins the game.


Would you protect it with your life and some obvious military power? Now you have the chance to prove your commitment, but not just to one beauty but to four sparkling limos. Destroy four limos at the opposing gang's base. Defend the four limos at your base from incoming Attackers. The game is played in two rounds. Each gang will automatically be assigned in the Defending or Attacking roles. A timer displayed onscreen will measure the time it takes for the Attacking gang to destroy the limos in the first round. Once all four limos in the Defenders’ base have been destroyed, the roles of the Attacking & Defending gang will switch and the second round will begin. The time it took for the limos to be destroyed the first round will now be displayed onscreen and will be counting down. The new Attacking gang must now destroy the limos within this time limit or the other gang will win the game.


Today you desire your friend’s shiny new car, unfortunately they also desire yours.
Each gang must steal their opposing gang’s car and return it to their own base while protecting their own gang car from being stolen. You can return your own gang car by driving it back to base or by destroying it. Your gang car will automatically be returned to your base after a short period of time if it is unattended by the opposing gang. You must have both gang cars on your base to enable a successful capture. The first gang to reach the Score Limit or make the most captures within the Time Limit wins the game.



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.



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. Sticky Tires - Improves vehicle handling for limited time. Instant Repair - Instantly repairs vehicle.


This 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.


Make your friends jealous, so jealous that they want to destroy you? Get the biggest military tank that the Mayor will give you and watch them try. Players must try to survive as long as possible if they are inside the tank to try and reach the target Tank Time. Other players who are not in the tank must try to destroy the tank as quickly as possible. The player outside of the tank who inflicts the most damage to the tank will be spawned inside the tank in the next round. There is only one tank per round. In the first round, all players will have the same chance to get to the tank for the first time. Once the tank is occupied, the player who causes the most damage to the tank will be placed in the tank for the next round. The first player to reach the target Tank Time of remaining inside a tank wins the game.
