GTA: Liberty City Stories +17

If you don't skip the cutscenes on that mission, your game will crash. On the 2nd one, there is no avoiding the crash, which makes the mission impossible to complete, which makes the whole game impossible to complete. I have been trying for a decent hour trying to avoid the crash and nothing works. You can try anything but there is no avoiding the inevitable crash. I will give a 5 star rating when it is fixed because I still love this game. Once again, please fix the crash on this mission, as it is very annoying. Thank you Rockstar if you read this.

*Edit: The bug has been fixed for quite a while, but I never edited this review. This bug is no longer an issue.

I am running the latest IOS for iPhone 7plus. I had no issues with “Calm Before the Storm” glitching or crashing, however after getting to the second island and doing a ton of missions, it decided to crash after I completed the last mission for Leon McAffrey and received a call from Donald Love to go meet him. The “D” appeared back on the map - then it mysteriously disappeared, and I can’t complete anything else. Only icons that are showing are the Church bell, gun shops and my apartments. I can’t even do the Church Confessional missions, the app just closes. So now I’m stuck with money and guns and nothing to do except drive around and listen to Reni talk about nipple clamps (not I don’t love her commentary, but still.) I saved my game to the Social Club slot. I deleted the app and re-installed it and still no luck. The game was fun and brought back the memories from when I had it on my PSP... now it’s just a big disappointment. I have no issues with bugs or crashes with San Andreas on my iPhone, but this game is so frustrating. I am giving three stars in hopes that this can be fixed with some kind of update and because the game is fun - until it crashes.

Edit: Bugs/Crashes are gone, I am updating my review two years later but hey, why not. Five stars for a great nostalgic game!

This game is beautiful, from the graphics to the mechanics. It almost feels like I have this massive CPU on my phone; by how well the game is well run. However, there’s a lot of little/big things that need to change. For example, if the game is so greatly defined on graphics and gameplay, there should definitely be more in-game settings. There’s really only three options, besides the restore function. There should definitely be an auto save option. Which it definitely needs considering if and when this game crashes, everything you did 5 min prior to the crash, is non existent. Another flaw this game carries is when you fail a mission, you aren’t given the option to restart it, not even to your last “checkpoint” or a retry function. If you fail, you have to die, in order to get the taxi to restart your mission… and last but not least, the screen view position. How is it that your analog sensitivity is synced with the view position? I have to slide my finger in the center of the screen a hundred times, to get him to look 90 degrees. If I turn up the sensitivity, my movement analog then gets altered as well. That needs to change too. I think it’s something we deserve considering we have to download the app, than make a in-game purchase to play. Other than that, this game is 90% well put.
