best version of LCS

[Claude speed GTA III Fan 3]

Hi, i want the opinion of those who have played through all the versions, which one is the best

 

i have the game on ppsspp emulator windows runs very nice exept low quality sound, and i have the android version on my sony xperia z1, runs okay 20-25-30 fps on high settings (shadows off)

 

i compared both versions , android looks better graphically but i read somewhere it has cutdown missions to make it easier for mobile controls..,

anyway my ocd is at full throttle now and i can't decide for myself

1.9 is good for me

Mobile Versions of LCS do NOT have the Tradition Level 12 for the R3 Missions. Instead, they have the easier Level 9. Overall, though, I'd say PSP Version is best, then PS2, then Mobile Versions.

The difference will probably get past the radar (98 fares in Taxi, instead of 100), so I'd stick with the version I'm more confortable with. Cheers :-)

98 Taxi Fares isn't a thing. It's 100. I didn't get any Percentage or anything about "Mission Passed!" until all 100 are done.

Except framerate issues, PS2 port was a fine port. PSP version had framerate issues too. Why didn't you like the PS2 version?

Yeah, exactly. PS2 isn't as bad as Mobile. Mobile has most of the problems compared to PSP and PS2. He doesn't own a Console and just bought LCS the other week and never played it before. I don't like opinions people give without backing up why they feel this way and what good is an opinion if you never even played the game? Sounds stupid to me...

 

The ONLY problem on PS2 is framerate (What Console GTA has amazing framrate? NONE) and the Garages not restoring blown up wrecks. Other than that, PS2 is the best. Mobile is just the PS2 Port with updated shiny graphics like all the other Mobile Ports, lol...PSP is the best and with the LEAST amount of framerate issues AND it DOES restore blown up wrecks.

 

There is reasoning behind my thinking. Not sure about others, though...

PSP/PS2/Mobile

 

But if we talking about graphics then

PS2/PSP/Mobile (I hate these damn HQ textures (It will be better if they put in there Hi-res original textures) and that plastic effect on cars and peds)

PSP, because it's the only Version I have extensively played. Following in Second is the PS2 Version. I only have played a few hours of that Version on a friends PS2.

On overclocked PSP played off memory stick

I played on PSP, and later i download pcsx2 to play. Cos i sold out my PSP to my friend

I haven't played any other version than the PS2. So I will not judge gameplay and such.

However, I still prefer the PS2 version in terms of graphics and atmosphere - on PS2, the atmosphere is more dark and slightly gritty, resemblant of the GTA III atmosphere. On PSP, the city is overall brighter, yet my personal opinion is that sunny atmosphere does not really suit Liberty City that much. Overcast, rainy or foggy is the best weather setting for the "worst place in America".

 

And the Mobile version looks to cartoonish. Why can't they ever leave things as they are when they port the game, always needing to spoil something like "improved" graphics, "renewed" textures, "updated" missions/side missions whatever...

[Lethal Vaccine 7,191]

Cuz that's what kids wants these days. Nobody cares about the actual game. They just want their updated graphics and what not. Graphics sit at the BOTTOM of why I think a game is good...

[Marcos111 4]

PS2 is better. PSP have a graphic little cartoonized, i don't like.

[LCLegend 544]

For me, the PSP version is the best since its the one I played the most, it's just the one I'd recommend. The PS2 version is good too for if you don't have a PSP.

Finally, the mobile versions are the worst to get. I only recommend getting it as a last resort, or if you want to play all ports of LCS for some reason...
