The Bottom Line:

"Surprisingly good"

In Vice City Stories you play as Vic Vance taking place in 1984. He needs money to help his sick brother and his drug addicted mother. You start out at an army base and do some missions for your sergeant which is pretty much getting him coke and picking up hookers. After getting kicked out of the army for doing this you now must work for people on the streets of Vice City.

The graphics and sound of the game is pretty good. Surprisingly Rockstar games could fit such a huge game on a small system. However, there are a few problems. When you are speeding down a street sometimes the buildings and surroundings start to loose their detail and things just turn invisible having you sometimes crashing into a wall that you thought wasn't there. The AI is fair at trying to kill you and stuff, but otherwise very dumb. As in all GTA games there are submissions that you complete to get bonuses like infinite sprint. There is ad hoc multi player like defend your base and stuff like that, but no infrastructure.

GTA: VCS is a suprisingly good game for the PSP with it looking like its more powerful system cousins. It will keep you playing for hours and if you're a GTA fan then buy it.
