The first official details of Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories have been revealed in the latest issue of the U.K. Official Playstation 2 Magazine.The magazine is out 16 June and includes an exclusive first look at the game, in the meantime however, ComputerandVideoGames.com has a run-through of the key details:
As given away by the title, Liberty City Stories is set in the New York-themed metropolis that formed the backdrop for GTA III. The timeframe is approximately three years earlier than the action of GTA III (around 1998 by Rockstar's estimation).
You play Tony Cipriani, an up-and-coming mafia big gun who's just returned to the city. The GTA fanboys amongst you will remember him from GTA III - he was the chubby Tony Soprano-esque mobster operating out of the bistro in St Marks.
While the city remains largely unchanged, Rockstar has altered everything slightly to make it look slightly earlier. Familiar locations will be littered across the city, making exploration feel like a fun return to the past for veterans of the series. Even the motors will look slightly different to reflect the late-90s timeframe.
