The PSP version of Liberty City Stories has a multiplayer mode, for up to six players through Wi-Fi ad-hoc mode (same area). The overall game's open world, as it is based upon the original Liberty City layout, is considerably smaller than that of San Andreas. In contrast to previous release in the "3D Universe", Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the Liberty City Stories protagonist lacks the ability to climb and the ability to swim – contact with deep bodies of water is instantly fatal.
In keeping with recent Grand Theft Auto games, the player has more flexibility in terms of moving the camera around for viewing surroundings ( Grand Theft Auto III is noticeably limited in that respect). Though flyable aeroplanes and helicopters are available in Vice City and San Andreas, flyable aeroplanes cannot be found in Liberty City Stories while helicopters are only accessible through certain exploits. Liberty City's layout is largely similar to Grand Theft Auto III, but it also incorporates elements found in Grand Theft Auto III's successors, such as more indoor environments, clothing changes, and motorcycles.
