GTA VCS- PSP

Pros Cons
Tight controls Poor storytelling
Amazing visuals Lousy camera/viewpoint
Braindead computer AI

I liked it but Vice City is better well I think it but it was still great. I liked it better then Liberty City Storisy

It's GTA!

Pros Cons
Loads of content Doesn't live up to expectations

the only reason to own this game, is to have some GTA carnage on the go. It's impressive that the game can play with minimal loading on the PSP. But unfortunately, the bad controls from the PS2 GTA games are much crappier on a PSP. Targeting is a real pain.
It's kind of hard to play any of the old generation GTAs after playing GTA IV

A soild title, but doesn't live up to the original Vice City

Pros Cons
Just plain fun Ugly visuals
Loads of content Doesn't live up to expectations
Just plain fun

Chronologically, this entry is the first in the Grand Theft Auto canon. This side story takes place in 1984, roughly two years before the original Vice City. This time, the main character is Victor Vance (Lance's older brother), who gets unfairly kicked out of the army and turns to petty crime to support his family. Being a GTA game, things go downhill from there and that prick Lance Vance only makes thing worse. So the story is alright, but nothing really special. The graphics are pretty good on the PSP. While it's fun to finally return and tear Vice City a new one, it's basically been there, done that. There's these little additions like expanding your crime empire by running gambling rackets, smuggling drugs, and extortion. However, after a while it becomes tedious and repetitive and you constantly have to protect your turf from rival gangs by yourself. (Isn't this why crime bosses hire thugs?) Even though it's more of the same, it's still a soild title and will please most fans.

Engaging story

I don't own this game but I have played in on my cousin's PSP before. I thought it was a pretty fun game and it had a lot of content. The thing I like the most was turning on the radio when you are driving a car, even though some things on the radio were very questionable to why some of those things were put into a video game.

The thing I like to do the most was play singleplayer. The singleplayer was fun because it was so long and it was very fun to play too. I never even finished it because it was just so long.

Good Game

Good game. Has very good multiplayer features. good remake of vice city. I do wish it had more missions and the missions were harder.
