Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories Ringtones[edit | edit source]

Player Choices[edit | edit source]
During some missions you'll have to make a choice: do you kill someone or not? Who are you gonna kill? Most of the times this could be a dilemma, and to simplify this dilemma, you can use the next table to find out what the results will be of the different choices. The coloured choices are recommendations. The dilemma's without a coloured choice do not have drastically different outcomes.
