Great game. But if you're used to PS2 controls for the other GTA games, then it takes a lot to get used to the PSP controls.

I'm a big fan of GTA title games. I've purchased them all, even the lackluster GTA 2. GTA: San Andreas is my favorite all-time video game. So I guessed that the PSP titles would be just as good.

Vice City Stories attempts the comical and outlandish story lines from previous titles, but it fails. With a boring and dull plot, and un-convincible characters, the story didn't impress me.

Nonetheless, the PSP does have a beautiful hi-res screen which presents Vice City Stories graphics perfectly.

The gameplay is tricky with the PSP's joystick, and can become annoying. But with patience, you'll easily master it.

GTA titles are known for their amazing soundtracks. GTA: Vice City on PS2 had a great soundtrack. Vice City Stories mimics it, but the music fails to meet GTA standards.

Overall, the game is purchasable if you are trying to get a great PSP title. But as far as GTA fans go, stick to the counsel platform titles.

I recently bought 2 NEW psp 3000 consoles a few games with vice city stories and I didn't get to play past a few missions before I couldn't even play them game anymore.I deleted any other gta games on my memory card and some other games.I thought it was because of that.I put the disc in and it won't play.I've restarted my system,let it load for a LONG time and still WON'T play.I've been a fan of the GTA series and doubt I will play it anymore!I tried the disc on both my psp's,none of them will play it.I don't want to dish out more money to return it.I'm very unsatisfied!

This game is great to take along on a car or airplane trip, especially if you have already played Vice City on the PS2. It's fun to go back and visit the places you've been before. It's not a completely new game, so it's good for passing the time on long trips. Since the PS2 version did not let you rotate the camera with the right stick, it isn't missed in this version. The graphics are decent, and don't take away anything from the action. The soundtrack is pretty cool, and it sounds great if you have a pair of good ear-buds or headphones. At $20, it's also a good deal. Enjoy!

This game is virtually no different than it's predecessors. If you're a fan you won't be disappointed at all.

In fact, the strange thing is I find myself enjoying this game more than I have a lot of the other recent GTA titles.

The graphics are good, the radio stations are AWESOME, the dialogue is hilarious.

I'm not the biggest GTA fan in the world and I loved this installment. I actually became pretty addicted to it for a while, though eventually I did become bored with the plot and started going bezerk using cheats, which is fun in itself.

If you do buy this, please, please READ THE MANUAL!!! It's a work of art in itself. They designed it to look like the National Enquirer, complete with hilarious articles and personals ads. It's a great addition to a great game.

I had a problem receiving the game from Amazon. They delayed 1 day because UPS had problems identifing the adress! I think Amazon should review the way the summarize the adress.

The game itself is not bad, but not worth the price! The first version GTA liberty city was great.

Rock star could be credited with saving the PSP from the same fate that took the Sega Saturn and Dreamcast. Their hand held expansions of GTA 3 and Vice City push the portable media platform to its limits. With about sixty story missions and about three dozen side ones like empire building(the money earn from empire building gets dump directly into your account) and finding equine stunts and races. The player get to meet the germen transsexual Reni who DJ for Flashback FM in Liberty City, and Phil Collins makes an appearances as Phil Collins, and Gary Busey and Philip Thomas reprises his role as Phil Cassidy.

The Player takes the roll of Vic Vance, Lance Vance's older (brother who is killed off screen in Vice City) two years before Tommy Vercetti Comes in to the picture. Kicked out of the army for helping a crooked NCO Vic Vance has to swallow his pride and, along with his impulsive brother Lance, have to step in the back stabbing underworld of crime to support their family.

The game play is mirror to Liberty City's Stories, go from safe house to job, do the job go back to safe house, do a little exploring, not that there's anything wrong with it, the missions are fun and with the money from empire building money collected automatically, the player has access to choice weapons early in the game, easy to find Hidden packages, (In this game their balloons that you have to pop) help to build your arsenal without buying anything, and the cuts scenes are fun to watch. You get new vehicles like jet skies and hovercrafts.

There are some great characterizations in it too. Lance proves to be even more of a moron( one might think it was his stupidity that got Vic killed) , Vic tries to honey up to Phil Cassidy's younger sister. But the Character of Vic seems inconsistent. He comes off as a man who doesn't want to go that far deep but keeps going; he starts off as a honorable soldier and just degrades into a murderous street thug, all the time is he seem to know that he is doing the wrong thing. The pervious characters like Claude, Tommy and CJ are all career criminals, they didn't start out as productive member of society, they where pushers and pychos and OGs.
