Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories

GTA: Vice City Stories

Strengths: gameplay

Weakness: framerate issues

GTA Vice City Stories is not as good as some of the other Grand Theft Auto titles. Vice City Stories has an ok storyline and gameplay. THe game is a little on the short side. Overall if you really enjoy GTA games Vice City Stories is decent at its bargain price of under 20 dollars.

Same Great GTA

Strengths: gameplay

Weakness: graphics

This is another great Grand Theft Auto game, just as good as the original Vice City and others. It is very fun to play and has a great story. Graphics are old but it is the Playstation 2 so it is forgiveable.

GTA Vice City Stories

Strengths: Gameplay

Weakness: Framerate

Grand Theft Auto Vice City Stories is basically GTA Vice City revisited with some new features. While not exactly fresh, the game is still tons of fun. The game does suffer from some framerate problems that can distract from the game that weren't present in the original. It isn't often but can be a bit annoying. It may not be new but this game is still one of the best out there, any GTA fan...

Great GTA Gamplay, as usual

Strengths: Best storyline yet, great soundtrack, cheap

Weakness: graphics are really starting to age, we've played this before

Here we are, another Grand Theft Auto game. A prequel to the original Vice City. Vice City Stories was surprising in that it actually has a great storyline and almost outdoes the original VC in that respect. The soundtrack is also great, Phil Colllins is even in the game! The gameplay here is what you've come to expect and its great, save the spotty targeting system as usual. Lots of things to do...

GTA: VICE CITY STORIES

Strengths: many vehicles to drive, awesome soundtrack

Weakness: same clunky combat system

Grand Theft Auto Vice City Stories is another driving and shooting game for the PS/2. If you played the previous grand theft auto games, especially Vice City, then you'll be very familiar with this game which is a direct port from the PSP. In this iteration you play as Lance Vance’s brother Vic , who starts the game as a military man that enters a life of crime at the behest of his corrupt...

If you aren't tired of GTA yet

Strengths: same things you'd come to expect from GTA (excluding San Andreas)

Weakness: looks like a bad GTA 3 and plays like GTA Vice city

I've never been a fan of the GTA series but can appreciate what the developers have attempted to do. Vice City Stories gives us yet another new character (actually it's a relief since the character in Liberty City Stories was horrible) to run around in a large city and create havok. The missions are pretty much the same as other GTA games - drive from point a to point b, shoot people, etc. If you...

Prequel to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

Strengths: Storyline that connects the previous games in the series together. Good selection of weapons and vehicles.

Weakness: Character still afraid of water. Annoying side mission and packages. Pretty much the same things that Vice City offered.

Like Liberty City Stories, Vice City Stories is the prequel Vice City, since Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories takes place prior to the events of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. The main character, Vic, is the brother of Lance, the guy who helped Tommy from time to time in Vice City. Anyway, the storyline helps connecting the previous games together, allowing the players to understand what...

Better than Liberty City Stories...

Strengths: Good voiceacting, bargain bin price

Weakness: same old missions found in past games, the same horrible controls, PSP graphics

Vice City Stories is a port of a PSP game - meaning the developers pretty much just transferred the handheld game so that it's playable on the Playstation 2. So straight off the bat, you can expect some of the weaknesses like the low level graphics. The characters are blocky and there aren't a lot of textures so buildings etc. look kind of plain. This isn't a real big problem when you're outside...

GTA: Vice City Stories

Strengths: Same as before, soundtrack

Weakness: Same crap as before

This game is pretty much the same game as the original Vice City. This is like an expansion. Same style, same visuals, and same old crap. The soundtrack is awesome in this game. This game is getting old. It is overrated. Luckily GTA IV is coming soon. I'm looking forward to it. Just pick this up if you can't have enough of killing and shooting the same thing over and over again.

Haven't I Been Here Before

Strengths: Nice music. Acting is well done. Overall fun gameplay. Budget priced.

Weakness: Adds nothing new to the GTA franchise.

Really wish they had done a PC version, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. In the console version you have to use lock-on for aiming on most weapons which doesn't always lock-on to who you want. Plus it always locks onto the body of someone so if only their head is exposed behind a wall for instance, you hit nothing but wall. Still it's not all bad. You have your choice of what you...
