GRAND THEFT AUTO VICE CITY STORIES PORTABLE

Upon meeting his commanding officer-a borderline psychotic named Jerry Martinez-things start going wrong. When the game begins, he's just joined the army, and he gets off the transport truck at a military base in Vice City. You play as Vic Vance, the brother of central Vice City character Lance Vance.

Vice City Stories is, again, a prequel, taking place a couple of years prior to the original game. It was a bizarre, convoluted, and completely entertaining tale, filled with ridiculous and profane characters, as well as lots of biting satire on the most superficial of decades. Modeled after '80s-era Miami, GTA: Vice City told a Scarface-inspired tale of Tommy Vercetti, a shunned mobster who found himself sifting through the aftermath of a cocaine deal gone wrong, and subsequently ended up building a major criminal empire throughout the city. Vice City Stories returns to the pastel- and neon-colored excesses of the 1980s and Vice City. Return to the soft neon glow of Vice City in GTA: Vice City Stories. Still, if you want to roam around a large city, shooting up the place and driving like a crazy person, few games on the PSP let you do that as well as this one does. The story's still pretty subpar, though, and as much as this is very much Grand Theft Auto, certain conventions of the series are starting to feel a bit antiquated. Vice City Stories improves upon some of the flaws found in the first game, not the least of which is improved length and direction, as well as a great deal more personality. Enter Vice City Stories, the newly released PSP GTA game that follows a similar side-story formula. With Liberty City Stories, Rockstar successfully translated its open-ended world of crime to a handheld system, though not without a few missteps.
