The PSP LCD screen enhances the graphics ten fold and we'll go out on a limb and say that if this makes it to PS2, the PSP version will still have superior graphics.

The game features a full day night cycle and the draw distance allows the pop up which happens to not be all that noticeable. This looks as good, if not better than San Andreas PS2 and Leeds are really pushing this system to the max as demonstrated by the fact the battery doesn't last all that long when playing GTA for extended periods of time. The visuals of the game are stunning to say the least as well. While it is an entirely aesthetic thing and Phil doesn't get involved in the game too much, it just goes to show how far Rockstar is willing to go to build a realistic environment and capture an era in a video game.

This is a landmark moment in the GTA series because not only does it have the 80's soundtrack, but it's a virtual concert with a virtual Phil Collins actually fronting the stage. The city itself is a sprawling metropolis ripe for the taking and there are a lot of things going on, such as a Phil Collins concert.

There are a number of side missions to play through as well and doing this allows you to upgrade your businesses, monopoly style. That's not to say there are no memorable missions in the game, as there are, but the game relies a lot more on its storyline to keep you playing rather than seeing some unbelievable gameplay missions. It's pretty run of the mill here - pick up a package, shoot some character, get someone home etc. Don't expect huge missions like in San Andreas. The missions themselves are a little disappointing. We actually wanted to finish missions to find out what happens in Vic's troubled life next. If you choose, you can ignore all this and play around in the sandbox mode but of course you don't progress the storyline, and it's easy to say that this is one of the best storylines in the franchise. Vice City Stories is quite unique in the way it can be played, but also has a lot of familiar territory.
While this is not new since LCS, the police now have them, making it harder to evade the long arm of the law. Also there are motorbikes to ride in the game. These gangs are used to take over criminal businesses in the city and build up Vic's empire and in turn his cash reserves. However with that said, Leeds have tried a few things which may be in testing for GTA 4 so all is not lost on the innovation front.įor instance, you can now build gangs up as you could in GTA San Andreas. If you're a bit tired of the GTA formula then Vice City Stories probably isn't going to change that as it has gone with the tried and tested formula. The city has had some changes as well but we'll cover that further on. There is however a number of changes to be aware of such as the fact that Vic in contrast to Tony from LCS can swim. With his brother sick in hospital, Vic needs to fund his medication somehow (is this Rockstar trying to justify the senseless violence for once? ) and to do this, it appears the only way Vic can get around is to become a career criminal.Īs with the LCS, VCS is played from a third person perspective and those who played the first game will be instantly familiar. Left with nothing, Vic has to build up his empire and take the town by storm or be stomped all over and forgotten. In Vice City Stories you play as Vic Vance, an ex soldier kicked out of the military after being framed by a commanding officer for having drugs on campus. Vice City stories is the first true must have title for the PSP and the system finally has a GTA game to call its own, assuming there is no plans for this to make the jump to PS2 next year. Rockstar Leeds, the house behind the Rockstar PSP variants, went back to the drawing board and have sent us to Vice City, only this time, they got it right.
However it wasn't the best game on the system which was surprising and had a lot of areas which could be improved. Last year the PSP got the title that people had waited many moons for, Grand Theft Auto.
