GTA Liberty City Stories missions
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories (2005) has 70 story missions, not counting the opening cutscene, according to GTA Wiki. They are split across Portland, Staunton Island and Shoreside Vale and given by contacts such as Vincenzo Cilli, JD O'Toole, Ma Cipriani, Salvatore Leone and Donald Love. The last one, The Sicilian Gambit, pays $500,000.
How many missions are in GTA Liberty City Stories?
GTA Wiki counts 70 story missions in Liberty City Stories, leaving out the short introduction that plays before the first job. If you count that opening as well, the total is 71. The missions are grouped by island, because the map opens up one island at a time, just as it did in GTA III. By our count of GTA Wiki's list, 33 jobs take place in Portland, 22 on Staunton Island and 15 in Shoreside Vale. This page lists the jobs by contact. For the plot itself, see our articles on the game and on Toni Cipriani; here we only sketch how the missions carry that story.
What is the story arc of the missions?
Toni comes home to Liberty City in 1998 and starts at the bottom of the Leone family. The early jobs come from Vincenzo Cilli, who resents him, and from JD O'Toole. Wikipedia's plot summary says Vincenzo later lures Toni into an ambush and dies for it. Ma Cipriani's jobs run alongside, and Wikipedia notes that she later puts out a hit on her own son, then calls it off once he is made. Once Toni is made a full member of the family, the war with the Sindacco family moves to the centre, and the second half turns to politics, the Yakuza and the hidden hand behind the mob war.
Who gives missions in Liberty City Stories?
Salvatore Leone is the backbone of the list, with more jobs than anyone else on every island. Wikipedia's plot summary credits him with the order to kill Mayor Roger Hole and with sending Toni to steal a Rhino tank, and it notes that JD O'Toole, one of Toni's early partners, is later killed on Salvatore's orders. Donald Love's line is the most political: Wikipedia says he uses Toni to kill his mentor Avery Carrington, take Carrington's development plans and blow up Fort Staunton. Ned Burner's four jobs look like favours but, according to Wikipedia, serve Burner's own career until Toni kills him to cover them up. Toshiko Kasen hires Toni to sabotage and embarrass her husband Kazuki, which ends with Kazuki dead. Wikipedia also points out a detail of the 1998 map: the Callahan Bridge is not finished yet, so a ferry links Portland and Staunton Island.

The first job, Home Sweet Home, pays only $100 but gives Toni his Portland safehouse. Driving Mr Leone, the last Portland mission, pays $4,000 and opens Staunton Island, according to GTA Wiki. It also lets the wanted level climb to five stars. See our safehouses page for how hideouts work across the series.
