The Bottom Line:

"Just plain fun"

Here is my review on a PSP game I've played for many hours on end, staying up all nite, or even on a bus..

Gameplay: You add the amazingness of a Grand Theft Auto console game, but make it fit in your pocket..and the end result is a beautiful surprise. You'll find yourself playing in this city doing crazy things just like you would in the older games on the console.

Controls: The controls are well adapted to fit on the smaller, pocket-sized Sony system. The controls manage to work without being too clunky or an annoyance.

Graphics: For a PSP game, it is a very nice looking game. The fact they can fit this much stuff into one game and make it look this nice, and just like the ones on the PS2 is one heck of an accomplishment.

Story: The story has it's moments, but you'll find yourself getting frustrated sometimes. The levels can go from being super easy, to being super hard all at once, and if you fail...you may as well be prepared to do it all over again. But the characters pack in enough of a reward to try hard enough for the next cutscene...because almost every character has great dialogue just like the PS2 versions.

Final Verdict:
One of the nicest playing, and looking titles on the PSP filled with an interesting story that'll keep you playing until the end.
