Nope. The worst GTA(nowadays, not when it was released) is III. Advance was pretty cool for a gba game.

The worst GTA is III.

TAKE THAT BACK! Personally, III was my second game favourite of the GTA 3 Era, only losing to San Andreas (my favourite game of all time), and I preferred III over Vice City (as you can probably tell by my signature). Although you were right about Advance not being that bad, I think they did a really good job considering the specs of the Game Boy.

No GTA3 was, this is an extremely biased forum!
LCS is pretty much an updated 3 with better features.

How so? And GTA III had a better storyline anyway... And to say that the game that revived the series is still worse than a crappy handheld gameboy game that, mind you, is still better than Liberty City Stories.

[ViceCityMobster86]

I liked LCS. It was a good portable GTA game, the first good portable GTA. Advance is the worst in the GTA 3 era. I also liked LCS better than SA TBH, I loved the storyline, not as many annoying as hell missions.

[vfrakie]

It's not that bad, portables just weren't my cup of tea. The lack of music by actual artists pains me as much as it did in GTA III, besides that it's my least favorite PSP GTA game but that's only because there was only LCS and VCS. I'm just a sucker for the Lance Vance Dance i guess.

[Shane X. Walsh]

I dont think so. I think it LCS is pretty bad. Due to its Maverick, Swim, and clothes.

You can fly in LCS but can't swin.

One mission provides a method to steal a Maverick (LCS only), False Idol by Ned from its church Bedford Point.

GTA III, it pretty good enough. I like Claude's anim and his clothes.

With that idea in mind VC is a piece of sh*t. Heck every GTA except SA is sh*t according to your logic.

VC was released before SA so you can't expect it to be so much better. My point is that SA made so many improvements to GTA that LCS completely ignored. VC is a good game in my opinion, LCS could have been better in my opinion. I did at no point declare my slef as the god of GTA and therefore my opinion is just as insignificant as yours.

QUOTE

Liar, you can fly in LCS, the helicopter is available in some missions and/or witth the use of trainers(and using the trainer you can even get the Dodo).

The helicopter was available in LCS yes, but do you think rockstar intended for the player to ignor the aims of the mission, jack a bike, drive to the bridge, do an awkward jump and land on the roof of a building with no ingame texture? The LCS helicopter model is clearly a "Maveric" from VC so why when you get in does no name come up on the screen? It was a mistake that players found how to jack the helicopter. If players managed to get a helicopter then rockstar would have to come up with some excuse as to why you can't fly over the hills in the Shore Side Vale.

QUOTE

Though the game would have been better with a readily accessible chopper or two. LCS is by far NOT the worst game of the GTA3 era, however it does feel fairly recycled. It's kinda like GTA3 on a newer engine

I totally agree with you, I'm not saying the game was absolutely repulsive and its existance is an insult and all disks should be smashed up, burnt and buried in the desert of SA. I'm a Marketing & Finance student do you think I could have done any better? No, I'm not saying the game was rubbish, I'm listing ways in which it could be better, and how in my opinion it was a bit of a let down after SA.

I found LCS a very dissapointing game to be frank, San Andreas set the bar quite high but going from:

Harrior jets to not being able to fly unless you jack a helicoptor on a mission

Swimming underwater to not being able to swim

Car modding garage to having to reverse in and out a pay and spay trying to get that colour that everyone else seems to have but you.

Being able to crouch and walk about in that position to not being able to crouch at all.

Having weapon skills and being able to dual weild pistols and micro smgs to having awefull weapons with an exeedingly slow rate of fire.

Being able to buy safe-houses all over the state to, owning you own little section of slum on the first island, the most inconveniently positioned apartment of the second and a pink condo on the third.

Bing able to go to several clothing stores, tatoo parlors and barber shops to customise your look to being awarded a pair of under-pants for doing jump on a bike.

Being able to recruit gang members and take over terratory to being killed by your own family for accidently bumping into a Leone car.

Having extra modes of transport such as the go-cart, the hover craft, the BMX and the quadbike to standing infront of a bike sales room waiting to show some morbidly obese pedestrian how fast you can drive a faggio.

Having almost every terrain possible to explor to a bunch of hills on the Vale that don't seem to understand physics.

Being able to learn several different fighting techniques and being able to use stealth on enemy gangs with a knife to having one Cippriani punch and having it looking like Toni has seven legs when he sprints.

Being able to go on dates to unlock sspecial aspects of the game such as not loosing weapons when being arrested to running erands for for some drugged up Mob-Boss wife while being attacked by some minor biker gang.

Being able to go to betting shops and casino's to make a fortune or even get in debt and have the casino sned goons after you to having a deranged mother that not only calls the hit on you but also has X-ray vision to be able to see through a wall and see the photos you took of Casa.

Having multiple optional side missions to set up a Casino heist to collecting rotting bodies for some failed congressman to eat as he flee's the city.

I don't know if I missed anything, it wasn't a bad game but it's like Rockstar released it as soon as they'd finished the plot.

I mean lets look where they are now, CJ is seen on variouse bill boards round GTA 4 in a pressed suit. Toni is severly over weight and sitting outside his mothers house giving orders to a mute phyco.

LCS is pretty good for its side missions. I have yet to play the game again till I can continue Shoreside Vale's storyline. I'm not talking about "Trash Dash", FYI.

And if flying was included, you would expect those same flying missions from VCS. Like flying the biplane in a limited amount of time to air paramedic (darn, paramedic missions). So its good that the only jackable copter in the game is a mission only one. Which makes no flying side missions possible.

[ccrogers15]

The worst game in the 3 era is GTA Advance or Vice City Stories.

Lol your saying advance was better then LCS? Lol...

[ZoomZoom]

Of course Liberty City Stories was not the best of the three era. I don't like it. And VCS too...

Im not quite sure why people keep saying this. Next time, take a peek inside the GTA 3 forum section and you'll see an orgy of nostalgia and memories.

Ow. My childhood .

Each GTA is a milestone it it's own way. GTA LCS was groundbreaking in the sense that it was the first 3D GTA to be completely handheld, which in 2005 was a pretty jaw dropping concept.

Though I will say, with today's standards, GTA III is probably the weakest 3D GTA in terms of graphics, game-play features and story-line. But I honestly can't think of any other GTA game that has felt as groundbreaking at the time of release as III did in 2001.

To be honest GTA III isn't that bad graphically. IMO SA's graphics have aged quite bad. Even when it was new it never felt like the graphics were much better than GTA III and VC.

[Mr_Leone]

It's my favorite, or second favorite actually. Loved it.

[Johacamigames]

In my opinion VCS is the worst out of all of them

I rather liked VCS, it seemed like Bice Vitu but with a few elements of San Andreas thrown in, and Rockstar pulled that off quite well.

[Gst0395]

The worst GTA III Era game in my opinion was well, GTA III. Now DON'T get me wrong, I think GTA III is a classic that is well-deserving of it's legacy, but playing it I can't help but feel it's dated compared to later games. LCS is like a better GTA III in my opinion, because of more weapons, vehicles, better shooting and improved engine.
