Simply Outstanding!!!

Its so addictive.. its better than san andreas (easily)... its without a doubt the best GTA game ever made... I wonder weither the new one will meet up with this great game..

If your a gta gamer this is deffinatley a must buy.. its so amazing honestly!

Bought this for my son ive had a go gotta admit im hopeless i spend more time crashing into walls. Ithink its good though the way you beat people up and steal there cars. Do wonder sometimes weather its giving kids the wrong idea. I know its got an 18 rating but ike myself i bet theres loads of parents out there like myself that have bought this game for there kids under age. you cant really go advertising this game and showing how good it is and not expect kids to beg and plad for it.

When they first bought this game out I was very reluctant to buy it, it being a sequel. But because I'm somewhat of a GTA addict I gave in soon after.
And well, I wasn't dissapointed, the main plot stands up to that of Vice City and the side missions are better than San Andreas'! Boastig graphics that bring the city and characters to life.
Although, if you've played San Andreas then you may be dissapointed, as it's a step back, but if you're a loyal fan of Vice City, then this is a MUST HAVE, I can't stop playing it.

It'll have you playing for hours, far too addictive!

i love this game. it is way better than the normal ''gta vice city''. It also has very good grafix.
and for that price, worth buying.

better than vice city worth the money, a good game i was playing on it all the time when i got untill i completed it but it is a great game.

A lot better than GTA LCS and improved on many aspects of the game. Vice City on PS2 is still better but since this is on the PSP that has to be added in. The missions were a lot better than GTA LCS missions and the story line is a lot better.

I love grand theft auto. Its not just a great game series, its a great stress reliever. And once again it doesn't disappoint as a whole package. If you played the original PS2 vice city then you'll instantly know where everything is. The music is good and the gameplay is great. However, there are a few small niggles which don't spoil the game but do make it a 4 star game for me. The graphics are not good. I know its a port from the PSP but it feels like its been rushed out as I would say it was the shortest GTA since its arrival on the PS2. It doesn't have as much to do to get the 100% completion and the only extras added to the PS2 version from what I read is 6 extra unique jumps and rampages. So in terms of graphics and longitivity it suffers but its still another great GTA game. Buy it.

its alot better than liberty citey stories, but at first that ant what your gonna be thinking but trust me carry on playing the game and it gets alot better you get your own gang and a whole line of diffrent types of shops etc

The good things about this game is the range of missions and wepons that you get to use the downside is that the graphics are very fuzzy compared to san andreaes

When i purchased this game, i only had one thing on my mind. I had just completed The Godfather and had 10 months to wait for GTA 4 so i bought Vice City Stories to keep me going in this time, and that's all it will ever be, a stop gap game.
Here are the bad points, the graphics are terrible compared to San Andreas and even its sister game, Liberty City Stories, the graphics are fuzzy and you can clearly see the pixels which make up the bodies of the characters. The characters themselves are very poorly animated, the only way to tell which character is speaking is by looking at their chins which make small oscillatory movements occasoinally. It seems to me that the graphics have taken a huge backstep from the predecessing games, the original Vice City was my favourite of the series before the mighty San Andreas came along, i loved the warm, rich texture of the graphics. The way they used subtle pinks and purples to create that Miami atmosphere. Fair enough i understand that this game was originally intended for the much less powerful PSP but upon releasing it for the PS2 they could have made slight improvements, if they did not wish to make improvements then it should have stayed on the PSP. Another bad point is the range of vehicles, they all seem to samey to me, there isn't a lot of variety, there are the customary Sentinels and Sabre gang cars and then all the Manana and Regina trash which litter the roads, clogging up the fast lanes. However, there isn't much difference from those few. There is the same 'storm forces bridge to close' storyline which means you are momentarily marooned on one island, interestingly it is the opposite island to the one which you are stuck on in the original Vice City, this mean you can no longer cruise the beach until you have completed enough missions to open the bridge up. Though this is not a fault with the game, i did not appreciate this as you are stuck on the crappy, industrial island with nothing but concrete to look at.
Now for the good bits, once again the voice acting and characterisations are superb. This is one thing Rockstar never fail to succeed on, the scripts and quality of voice acting. The characters are original and endearing which does give the game a more realistic feel as you can relate to the characters and truly believe in them. The gameplay is as open ended and varied as it's predecessors, using the same map as the original Vice City, with the addition of an army base. The Vice City map was my favourite of them all so i very much appreciate Rockstar bringing out a game which recycles the old Vice City map. There is a long and interesting main storyline which contains the usual twists and turns which make this series of games so enthralling.
Overall this game, though interesting and well worth buying, is not a patch on any of it's predecessors, the graphics and game content seem to have taken a step backwards. The original Vice City, though being 5 older, is much much better and if you are looking to buy your first GTA game i would steer clear of this one. In spawning the god of games that was San Andreas, Rockstar have shot themselves in the foot as every game they now bring out will be compared to SA, this game included. So my conclusion is that this game can only ever be a stop gap for people who want something to do whilst awaiting GTA 4, for this price, i would recommend getting it but don't get too excited
