"Hand Held Mayhem at its finest!"
Yet another entry into the seemingly endless world of Vice City. Taking place before the events of the original Vice City you place as Vic Vance who soon after getting thrown out of the Army begins to get wrapped up in a series of criminal engaging enterprises.

The missions are incredibly diverse and numerous. The colorful characters you meet along the way are very fun. As in most GTA the voice acting is superb. The story is engaging as you begin to find yourself rooting for Vic and wondering where/how things will end.

The story mode is only about 45% of the game. The extras are fun, but sadly you don't have much incentive to finish them once the story mode is over. That's always been one of my complaints about the GTA games. The extras in the game that you need to get through to finish 100% of the game get tiresome. I've never really completed a GTA because the side missions get boring for me.

Still, this is great game that is must own for anyone with a PSP. Especially good when your bored at work.

"Even better than Vice City"
This has to be the best GTA game other than San Andreas. The radio stations are probably the best of any of the GTA games. Most of the missions are centered around the western portion of Vice City, which makes sense, as in the first game, most were situated on the eastern half of the city. The side missions are the best and most enjoyable of any GTA game. My only complaint is that many of the missions are timed and/or based on how much damage your vehicle takes.

"I can see why this would be a great portable game..."
But on a console it really loses something.
Compared to GTA Vice City, this game is simply an inferior copy. One of the great improvements from Grand Theft Auto III to VC was its licensed soundtrack. Also to compare, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories had most of the original GTA3 radio with a few new songs and a new channel. For this game they only kept the worst VC channel, the Latin channel and nearly all the new music, outside of maybe two songs, is awful.
The GTA series has never really been about the story, but the laughably bad cut scenes fall flat in this one. It doesn't help that the voice acting is terrible and the characters are almost all annoying one-dimensional stereotypes.
Vice City had a number of things, like the full map or motorcycles, which the original GTA3 did not. So GTA:LCS with those improvements was a better game. In this game you can swim, but it isn't a huge part of the game. Honestly this isn't really much of an improvement. If anything the fact that it originated on the PSP means that it has a much worse engine than the original PS2 games.
Just go back and play the original Vice City, don't listen to this "story."

"I missed you Vice City"
I am a Grand Theft Auto fanatic and I love revisiting the cities we've seen, but with new storylines. The way that the games tie into one another through various characters gives the player a feeling of investment in their fates. "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories" is no different. It is fascinating to see how the city appeared prior to the rise of Tommy Vercetti. An avid GTA fan will notice the subtleties and will catch themselves amused by them. The game is humorous and as fun to play as the original Vice City. I understand that this is a transfer from the PSP, but my only complaint is that I still would like to see the cities expand as we revisit them. All in all a good game.

"Best game in the series"
Wow, now that's a bold statement, and I'm sure most others will disagree. But I myself thought that Vice City Stories for the Ps2 rivals that of Vice City as the best game (in my opinion) in the GTA series.

We travel back in time, two years before the events of Tommy Vercetti and GTA: Vice City take place. Vic Vance is discharged from the army and ends up doing odd jobs around town. His brother Lance, who we see more of in GTA: Vice City, is a coked-up maniac who tends to get Vic in worse and worse situations that Vic has to bail them both out of. Vic himself really doesn't want anything to do with drug smuggling, and some of the other things that take place. But his motivation is to earn enough money to help out his and Lance's sick little brother.

Graphically, it is very similar to GTA: San Andreas, with the people and cars having more detail, with the controls being about the same as well. This was touted as a direct port of the PSP version, but you wouldn't really know it judging by the graphics and there is zero lag.

There are more missions in this game than I really have time to play, which is awesome for people who want to sink themselves into a game for quite some time, and for less than $20, you really can't go wrong. The music in this game is great, with a ton of hits from 1984, and they did a great job re-creating Vice City.

If I was a PSP owner, I'd be a little mad that the PS2 version came out costing less than the PSP version, which at one point was around $50. The PSP version might be portable, but the PS2 version's graphics are better.

For those with Ps3's, this is a nice game to tide everyone over until GTA: 4 comes out.

"the same as vice city, but not as fun", GTA:Vice City is great, but Vice City stories is nothing compared to the others. In this game you play as a radom black military guy, and isn't talked about in vice city. Overall this is a bummer, and i love the regular vice city.

"an upgrade frome the first vicecity", This game was the same like the first vicecity but you play as a black guy and it has a different story. GTA is really getting boaring it's just the same stuff, so this game was not good.

"Pure mayhem simulator a popular medication", The fifth GTA release for PS2, this is the second title that was an exclusive PSP-only release, following Liberty City Stories. The producers claimed they wouldn't port this one for PS2, but lo and behold, they did, and thankfully. Put aside the odd decision to produce games exclusively for a three inch screen...if you love the GTA games, this is a no-brainer, especially at the reduced price.

Overall, the game looks like it's been ported in that its slightly squished down so the aspect ratio is not quite the same as GTA: VC. On the up side, though, the graphics are improved, the movement is better, the colors are better, etc. Importantly, you have that 360-degree action with the environment at all times (using the right stick) meaning you can move the view around like a camera at any given moment. Similarly, the Cinematic View (for those who enjoy blowing things up in a cinematic mode) is like the 'old' style from GTA II and VC, meaning you cannot manually change the views like in LCS. For some reason, this is actually better and gives the action a better performance. And it can be hilarious. But it doesn't ruin this game, far from it. Basically, for Vice City fanatics who enjoyed crime and evil in that town, this is so very welcome. As before, some of the enhancements of LCS have made it in, so you can enjoy Miami-stand in "Vice City" with a few new twists.

Story-wise, for anyone keeping score, the game is set in 1984 (the earliest GTA setting now), two years before VC. Things are a bit different in town, there is much building to be done, it's rather sleazy...it's basically Miami circa the premier of Miami Vice. With more gangs. And sleaze. The story in the game is noticeably darker, which puts an interesting spin on this. There is even more chatter on the radio, entirely new stations, and generally the same amount of writing and detail as any of the other games. A real 'bonus' holdover game that does the job.

Plenty of violence and insanity, and like LCS, the missions are definitely easier, as if they wanted you to blow through it quicker and enjoy the free-for-all action and endless bonus stuff. Again, like LCS, looks a little bit 'smushed' on the screen, like the picture was not fully corrected from the PSP. But it still looks better and moves better, which is what counts. Like LCS, debuted at a cheap price (interesting strategy), and probably was a big shot in the arm for Rockstar, who are banking big on IV later in '08. Absolutely recommended for fans and addicts alike, even you have to play on your 'old' system.

"must have", i have been waiting to play this game like forever i cant wait till it getz delivered


"Pretty Fun", This game is fun, but not as fun as the original. There are some neat additions though, like when you suffer a concussion from being too close to an explosion the controls and the screen move all around and prevent you from driving easily. I enjoyed this game for a couple of days before I went back to Final Fantasy XI. I plan to play more on a rainy day.

Sincerely,
Ira Carmel.

"Worst Entry of GTA", After playing through the trilogy of GTAs and Liberty City Stories, I would have to say this is the worst one of them all. The story was mature, but this game just took itself too seriously. Graphicswise, this game is showing its age, but comparatively, the original Grand Theft Auto Vice City's graphics were better in my opinion. Gameplaywise, the game was absolutely horrible. The driving and targeting was horrendously loose. This game will satisfy your cravings for GTA until GTA IV. Until then, avoid this game if you possibly can and pick up the better game, Bully.

"Only good for GTA fanatics...", Let me start off by saying that I am an AVID GTA fan. I've beat every GTA game from GTA 3 until this one. Being a GTA fan, I HAD to beat this one.

Sadly, this one just isn't as good as the other ones. The missions are longer and more drawn out. Given, each game is bound to have a mission or 2 that makes you go from 1 end of the map to the other... but seriously, about 1/4 of all the missions are like that in this game. In addition, the missions are very boring. There are a few here and there that are unique (i've yet to see them in another GTA game), but again, any GTA game is bound to have a FEW gems. By the final 5 missions, I was simply playing out of the hope that it would end soon.

Although the missions fell short, there is a lot of other things to do. It seems like they upped the amount of expensive cars driving around, so getting around is a lot more fun. Also, they added a new optional business system: you can choose to take over as many of the 18-or-so business that you want. Each business will give you additional money, but might get attacked periodically.

To sum it all up: missions aren't that great, lots of stuff to do aside from the storyline.

Play it if you're a GTA fanatic. If you're just looking for a cheap GTA game to pass the time, go with either Liberty City Stories or the original Vice City.



"Enjoy a long holiday and RE Visit Vice City (PS2)", Folks,

Let me get this out of the way San Andreas is by far the best GTA game so far (GTA IV is promising). But, my 1st love with GTA games is The original Vice City, so paying another visit was very exciting. I know my way around it (short cuts) was a huge advantage.

Do not worry it is a new game, with new missions, some new characters, new lead character. so yes the streets are the same, all the cars are repeated (with the addition of some new vehicles).
I read at a review some where that the game is short, I disagree totally. The game kept me busy for sometime. I took my time, enjoying all the side missions, shooting red balloons, Unique Jumps, Rampages, Main Missions, etc,etc,etc.

Do yourself a favor buy the game, I was not disappointed!

For those who are still reading, here are the Pros & Cons in my opinion:
1. Great price.
2. New side missions: Beach patrol, Helicopter rescue, Acquiring several types of bussinesses.
3. Great new radio Music.
4. Funnier than the original Vice City.
5. Just hard enough for you to finish the game (Try finishing it without cheats).
6. You don't drown in water anymore like you did in the original game.

Cons:
1. Long loading time.
2. Graphics are not all that impressive (Not Rockstar's main aim).
3. Close fights are clumsy.
4. Auto aiming needs more work (also clumsy).
5. Faced glitches a number of times.
6. That goes for the parents: Some kids have access to the game.

All the best,
Nawaf

"A strong comeback after the Liberty City Stories debacle...", Being a big fan of the original vice city and a mega fan of San Andreas, I was sorely disappointed by the less than impressive Liberty City Stories but where LCS fails, VCS succeeds.

This map, all the surroundings, are indeed identical to the first Vice City. At times, it's even eerie. However, this game does take a different approach and you are a very different character, Vic Vance is NOT Tommy Vercetti.

The voiceovers and cutscenes are fairly forgettable, they cannot compare w/ San Andreas however most everything else is superb. Many fun missions plus some new cool options like the tremendously nice empire mode. You finally get some say in how the game goes, hooray! Keep in mind, there is no Haitian v Cuban style fighting like in Vice City. Admittedly, the targeting system still isn't quite perfect and the hand to hand combat should be improved. I think this game might have slightly inferior graphics than the first Vice City but I didn't find it very obvious.

Basically, if you liked Vice City and San Andreas, then give this game a spin, especially for just 20 bucks.



"A welcome return to VC.", I was tentative about getting Vice City Stories for the PS2, since it hasn't been long since I have played the original Vice City all the way through for the second time. But I was pleasantly surprised by how well the glamour and style of the original Vice City transferred over to the new version. It almost feels like a completely different game.

However, that might have alot to do with the fact that this game takes a different approach to the city than the original (in VCS, you start the game on the Western island as opposed to the Eastern). Still, the game seems remarkably fresh, despite the fact that it takes place in the same time period as the original.

Another notable aspect of the game is it's soundtrack, which tramples Liberty City Stories' soundtrack into the dirt. Much like the original Vice City, this game features original tracks by top 80's artists. The Cure's "A Forest", Blondie's "Heart of Glass", Roxy Music's "Avalon" (!), Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing" (!!), New Order's "Blue Monday" (!!!). It's all here, and all wonderful. And trust me, this is only scratching the surface.

The only major problem in the game is the fighting mechanics, which should've been fixed with the transfer to the PS2. But I find this easy to forgive. However,I must urge anyone who's thinking about purchasing this title to please play the original Vice City for the PS2 first. While this is a good title, the original is far superior.
