Advantages: Fits in well with the GTA range

Disadvantages: Bugs galore and dodgy animation

Grand Theft Auto has been a massive success on every format it was released on. So I was really looking forward to getting my hands on Vice City stories when I bought my PSP.

I was disappointed. Bitterly disappointed. So much so, that I was thinking of selling the game on.

Why ?

Bugs.

Loads of bugs. It is as if Rockstar pushed the game onto the public without any beta testing.
I will give you an example. The motorbike.
Jump on the motorbike and accelerate away. The noise comes out, then a fraction of a second later the animation starts to actually move the bike. There is some latency in the animation throughout the game.

Now, this might be a specific bug on the PSP version, I don't know, but there are other things. Like a truck or an ambulance, when you crash one, and it goes over on its side, the animation makes it look like this big heavyweight is gently lying down. Not nice.

Now, like I said, I could not stand to play this attempt at a game, but, when Liberty City game out, I was tempted to part with the cash again. This time however, the game was excellent, and I will write a review on that, once I stop playing it.

So, Vice City on PSP, leave well alone and only buy this if you are builing the complete collection. Otherwise, get Liberty City.

Summary: Keep your cash
