  • Summary: Vice City, 1984. Opportunity abounds in a city emerging from the swamps, its growth fueled by the violent power struggle in a lucrative drugs trade. Construction is everywhere as a shining metropolis rises from foundations of crime and betrayal. As a soldier, Vic Vance always protected his dysfunctional family, his country, himself. One bad decision later and that job is about to get much harder. Kicked out onto the streets of a city between glamour and gluttony, Vic is faced with a stark choice - build an empire or be crushed.

    Not only is this the greatest game on PSP, it also leaves a large percentage of the PS2 back catalogue looking ordinary. But it right now. [Dec 2006, p.76]

    Better than "Liberty City Stories" in every single way, Vice City Stories is an astonishing achievement and one of the best games of the year on any system. [Issue #147, p.66]

    The familiarity of Vice City Stories also breeds a clawing sense of stagnancy, and the lack of a second analogue stick - while patched - does leave a rent in the application of the gameplay control.

    This is one of the best games on the PSP because it has so much to do. The missions are so great that you'll want to replay the missions more than once. The open world is also large and fun to explore.… Expand

    Not really worth it. The story is standard GTA fare which isn't terrible, but the gameplay is mostly unchanged from last year's Liberty City Stories. If you want more of the same then this is probably up your alley. Me on the other hand, I can't take the level of frustration the missions instil in me. I feel as though these levels weren't really designed to be played on the psp. The controls are so cumbersome that often times a slight mistake with the analog nub can lead to imminent failure. It was a mistake to purchase this game, expecting something new or amazing. One GTA on the psp is enough. Rockstar needs to either fix the problems with the existing engine, or focus their talents elsewhere.… Expand
