LCS is a technology advancement on PSP. Nothing is cut out from real console GTA experience except for the fact that you can't swim and fly and climb (seems to be rectify in VCS though). Mission-wise though, there are not much variety. Most of it is "get from point A to point B, then shoot, kill, then get back to point A" type of mission. The side missions in the game are quite fun though. The soundtrack is lacking due to no licensed songs just ike GTA3. The city are the same as GTA3 except for some minor alterations. Still, warrant a buy, but with VCS so close to release, I would wait for that.
