Description

Portland Rock in GTA Liberty City Stories.

The island's appearance has changed between 1998, the setting of GTA Liberty City Stories, and 2001, the setting of GTA III.

In GTA III, the rock is devoid of vegetation and is paler, giving an old look to the island. The white-and-red-colored Portland Lighthouse is situated on the island although it serves no practical purpose. With the lack of an accessible dock, the island is inaccessible to the player by boat. If the player does manage to reach the island, the player will be forced to slide off the island.

In GTA Liberty City Stories, the island is made accessible to the player. The island is remodeled to contain a small wooden dock at the bottom of a long flight of stairs that no longer forces the player to slide down the island. The island has more vegetation including trees and grass and the lighthouse has more vibrant colors.

Events

Is the setting for the final mission, The Sicilian Gambit.

In the GTA III Era in all the cities have a lighthouse right on the first island on which the player starts the game, plus located on the beach.

-Portland Lighthouse is the main point and probably Portland Beach with a very cheerful in GTA LCS (1998) as well as the island, its white and red with a small wooden dock at the bottom and stairs to the lighthouse gave an easier way. In GTA III (2001) and the lighthouse appears to be very simple with their new white and gray in addition to the dock disappears and the stairs are replaced by a flat surface leaving an inaccessible path to the lighthouse. In GTA III it is very difficult to access as already mentioned at the outset, whereas in GTA LCS is easier because there is nothing to do directly to the water slide for access to the lighthouse.
