Came across this on wikipedia. I'm a huge fan of the GTA series, so this is wonderful news. Release dates are March 6(US) and March 9(UK). Anyone else buying this?

I'll probably give it a buy. I meant to by Liberty City Stories but I freaking forgot.

You should still buy it - it's a fun game. Play LCS & VCS together. It'll keep you occupied until GTA4.

If you get the chance, throw some impressions at me on how it compares to Vice City and San Andreas. No store had it in my area so I'm gonna have to wait till this weekend and get it out of town.

No problem, I'll be checking it out later tonight when I get home from work. I'm guessing that this should be the same exact game that was released on the PSP correct?

I ended up getting the psp version last week for $20 at target thanks to candy posting the deals. So far its pretty much what you would expect from a gta game but the targeting is a little weird.

I'm pretty sure it is.

The PSP version received a 9.0. I'm thinking that if you liked Liberty City Stories than this should be right up your alley. I'll post impressions later on when I get a chance.

Closing Comments
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories is essentially more of the same, for better or for worse. It's a nice leap over what we saw in last year's release of Liberty City Stories, but it still feels "safe" by many standards. The story is certainly sub-par and there are problems with close combat while armed with a firearm or when attacked in groups, but it still has all of the elements that makes every Grand Theft Auto game great. It's funny, doesn't take itself seriously, the gameplay mechanics are mostly great fun and the world is a fantastic place to screw around in.

Is it a full game? How large is the map? On par with Vice City or much smaller?

Just got my reserved copy today for 16 bucks. Man, I love Rockstar - they know what we want, and they rarely disappoint. It's a GTA night!

The soundtrack is killer, but no Prince?

Re: Vice City Stories Coming Out for PS2

they're just ports of a game that was on the psp. It won't compare to San Andreas, but they are fun for GTA freaks.

LCS was decent for what it was, a late cash in on the franchise. The games are just "new" content for us GTA fans who wore the hell out of the other games.
