Ollie64 Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 You KNOW this is going to sell so many PSPs! I just hope it's good - unlike that awful GBA game that just came out. I wonder if they'll keep Liberty City exactly like the one in GTAIII? Or maybe place the game in a different borough of the city? I can't wait!
