Like in GTA III, the story is lacking major excitement. Once you go visit a person who wants you to do a task for them, a short humorous cut scene comes up, and less than thirty seconds later, you’re off on a mission. The story does get interesting at times, but that doesn’t increase the excitement of doing another mission.
Now because this game is on a UMD, the soundtrack list doesn’t have several songs like in the previous Grand Theft Auto games. The soundtrack itself isn’t that bad at all. Although I do only recognize the hip-hop and opera musicians on the soundtrack, I do occasionally enjoy other stations on the radio. There is a pop station, two techno/eletronica stations, a flashback station, a rap station, an opera station, one Jamaican station, an Indian station, and of course, a talk show station. I personally like Liberty City Jam (hip-hop) for its New York hardcore style rappers (the Lox, Method Man, Redman, Big Pun, etc.). Each station has its own very humorous commercials.
If you don’t enjoy the radio, you can always make your own custom soundtrack. You can download the custom soundtrack tool off of Rockstar’s website that will add tracks from your CD to your PSP game. I was surprised to see that each song I added took up very little space on my memory stick.
All of the enjoyment from Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories can be found by just cruising in your car and exploring the city. You’ll find many things you can do for fun. If you jack a taxi, you can play a taxi driver mission and pick up/drop off customers. You can do similar tasks with the police, ambulance, and fire truck missions. Something new I found was the car dealer mission. You drive to a car dealer, and go inside to sell your cars or motorcycles to customers. You simply drive them around the city however they ask you to until they are completely satisfied. Dump trucks are also now available for missions. You can pick up dumpsters and drop them off to the junkyard. Not only can you do these driving missions for fun, but you can also find hidden packages and extreme stunts to pull of, like in the previous games. There are also the Avenging Angels missions to complete. Once you go to your safe house and change your outfit to the Avenging Angels one, you can go up to anyone dressed with the same outfit as you, and they will help you defeat crime.

Kill app for the PSP? How about WipEout Pure! There is the killer app for the PSP. LCS is good, but not that good.
I also believe this game a TON of music, especially for being a UMD.

Wipeout Pure was great while it lasted. For me, it lasted for 4 days. I hate racing games ;_;. The music was really great though.
GTA: LCS didn't use licensed music, and didn't give you a lot of variety like the previous ones. I didn't like but only two stations. That's why I use a custom soundtrack :).

That is a shame! WipEout Pure has had eight (!) download packs since its release. They have added so many new tracks, ships, songs, skins to the game.
Have you played the multi-player in LCS? That is better then the single player missions IMO. Very fun.

The packs I couldn't really do since I only had a 32mb stick. I think I should download them again since I got a 256 now.
I did play multiplayer once. It was at school. You won't believe how many play GTA: LCS during class.

we..killer app? it's more like app resurection, because it's the only game that allows you to run homebrew! and on top of it, it's a fun game to play...great deal!
