Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories (PS2)

...why? Well, the makers of Grand Theft Auto can do whatever they want and not be accused of copying anyone, after all, they're the ones who popularised the genre, although thats not to say this game is a clone of other titles in the series, because it's not. It is original and different. When i bought this game i, admittedly, expected the same sort of feel and storylines to the previous titles, it's not like that at all. The updated graphics and gameplay ...
...up, and despite the same setting, it still feels original. Story: 7.5/10 You are Victor Vance (brother of Lance from the original game), a US Soldier recruited only to be thrown into a life of drug trafficking and shady deals by his sergeant, Jerry Martinez, Vic is a morally good person and Jerry's requests go totally against Vic's ethics, Vic begins to work for Phil Cassidy, only to be thrown back into a life of crime for the rest of the game. ...

Review of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories (PS2)

...other games in the PS2 Grand Theft Auto then you will know what to expect: Colourful characters, satirical script writing, excellent voice acting and plenty of mindless violence. And of course lots and lots of high speed driving. You take on the role of Victor Vance, the sensible brother of Lance from the original Vice City game. After being ousted from the Army early on in the game he has to fend for himself, trying to earn money for his sick brother. ...
...buy, but don't expect it to push the boundaries of the genre. Out of all the games in the series thus far, this is probably the weakest. What lets this down is the lack of imagination in the missions. It has a feel that this was thrown together quickly and the storyline seems laboured at times. Of course, as usual the music is exceptional and the comedy is spot on, but there is nothing here that compels you to keep playing. The new feature of taking ...

Review of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories (PS2)

Introduction : This is one of those great tropical based games from the United States. Vice city takes it's name from Miami which is set in the state of Florida. There are four main islands to perform missions for certain gangsters , bussiness men exetera, although there are extra smaller islands for you to enjoy your time in Vice city or to earn some extra cash.

Review of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories (PS2)

This game provides more great GTA action and is even better for those who didn't play Vice City the first time around. The free roaming never tires and you can spend hours just touring the city. This game is ported from the PSP and as such can suffer from some slowdown (particularly when the ferris wheel is in view), but in general the graphics are on par with the original VIce City. The missions are quite lengthy considering they were originally ...
...is quite limited and focuses on Vic Vance (who you play) and his brother Lance Vance (who reminds me a lot of Ricardo Tubbs from Miami Vice series). The humour adds to the enjoyment and the sooundtrack is full of 1980's pop, rock and reggae music which is just as good as the original Vice City. Some new property features don't harm either. So all in all, there's mothing wrong with more GTA and this is an ideal filler until GTA 4 comes out. ...

Review of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories (PS2)

...the same as the original Grand Theft Auto - Vice City but this does not make it any less playable, lots of old haunts are still available and even some of the secret gun stashes are replenished for those with a good memory. The missions are great, as with all GTA games some are pure fury and some require a little more intelligence but they are all fun and entertaining. Some old faces are also back to pay a little visit e.g. Lance Vance (Vic's brother) ...
...together now awwwwwww :( However it would not be a GTA game without a treasure hunt so you can collect Red Balloons in stead of hidden packages, these are a bit trickier as they can hover out of reach.... but I have faith in you...you will find a way to reach them! Also a teeny bit like San Andreas and the gang wars, in this game you have to take over businesses. This is great fun and a great little money maker to boot! For me it was the awesome ...
