** Continuing the trend of mobile ports of GTA games being inferior to their console and PC counterparts, ''Liberty City Stories'' on iOS and Android is an extremely nasty port, because apart from having the same problems as the previous games, it also has very limited graphics settings & compatibility issues with some phones & tablets (particularly with Mali GPU devices), where the game refuses to work anywhere past the main menu. The fact that the port of Liberty City Stories was made by a different studio, Lucid Games, instead of the usual War Drum Studios/Grove Street Games, doesn't help. Possibly justified, considering this game was only released on the PSP and PS2 beforehand.

* ThatOneLevel: This game has several, the most notable being "The Portland Chainsaw Masquerade" where Toni is tasked with killing a large group of chainsaw-using madmen.
** What gives this mission its notoriety is that the whole mission, for some reason, is played from a birds-eye perspective, which increases the difficulty. On top of this, one slice from a chainsaw nearly kills you, even with full health and armor, and once you're hit, the others attack too. The only simple strategy is to sprint around in circles and hope that you have enough time to shoot one of them.
** The mission "The Shoreside Redemption" isn't very popular either. The mission itself is fairly standard, if a bit difficult. You are tasked with escorting a newly acquitted Salvatore to the courthouse in a police car while goons try to ram the prisoner transport van off the road. What makes this mission so notorious is the fact that using cheats can make this mission unwinnable, since Rockstar implemented a unique fail scenario for players trying to take the easy way.
** "False Idols" is another one. You have to locate and kill three different characters, (one of them in a ''helicopter'') before any of them reach their destination. What makes this one especially hard is that all three of them come from different islands, and killing them all requires memorizing their routes, not to mention the fact that one enemy is in a bulletproof car, which forces you to waste precious time trying to ram the car off the road.
** "Dead Meat" isn't that difficult, but it can really throw off inexperienced players. You have to stalk Giovanni Casa through a maze-like sawmill, using the game's (non-existent) sneaking mechanics to take Casa by surprise, all while some idiot constantly reveals your location.
