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

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.
