Leave it to Rockstar to save the best surprises for the very end. The company announced today that the upcoming
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories will include perhaps the most significant new feature to the series since it went 3D: multiplayer.
The series has experimented with multiplayer ideas before, such as the limited mini-games in
San Andreas. And thanks to the PC mod community, there have been user-created adaptations of the game with various multiplayer elements, but with Liberty City Stories, Rockstar itself is putting together one of the most extensive multiplayer games yet seen on a portable system.
LCS multiplayer will include seven gameplay modes, with up to six players battling it out on their choice of the three islands unlocked in the single-player game. Both the islands and character skins will become unlocked in multiplayer as you come across them in single-player, so you'll start off with one island and nine character skins but by the end of the game you'll have three islands and over 60 character skins available.
