The release of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories is mere weeks away, and it's looking to be a huge improvement over the series' first PSP effort, Liberty City Stories. Not only does it sport a bigger city, longer missions and the ability to commandeer helicopters, but it also improves on that game's kickass multiplayer with a whopping 10 modes of ad-hoc play. We recently got a chance to play two of these for ourselves: Vice City Survivor and Might of the » Read Full Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories preview

Oct 04, 2006
Wednesday 4 October 2006 Rockstar claims that Vice City Stories is twice the size of Liberty City Stories. But, as we all know, it's not size that counts. It's how many car-jackings, helicopter chases, gang wars and insane stunts you can squeeze into Sony's gleaming PSP that matters. And after our first hands on with Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, it's clear that things have moved up a notch since Liberty City's crime wave.

The next chapter in the Grand Theft Auto saga hits stores at the end of October, and we've finally had a chance to take it for a test drive. We've already covered a good chunk of what to expect from the '80s-themed GTA: Vice City Stories in our first-look preview, but this was our first time actually playing the game, and it's got us hungry for more. Taking on the role of Victor Vance (brother of Vice City partner-in-crime Lance Vance), we played through three missions, beginning with » Read Full Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories preview
GTA: Vice City Stories - first look
The '80s are back, and they're yours for the taking
Sep 14, 2006
If Grand Theft Auto III birthed a new genre, 2002's Vice City blew it wide open. Living cities were one thing, but wrapping them in garish '80s neon and blasting the best tunes the decade had to offer created an atmosphere that no one could resist. Seems only natural then, that the second PSP GTA would follow the same route, and from what we've seen of Vice City Stories, it's everything the console version was and more. Set in 1984 (two years before the PS2 Vice City), this story begins with » Read Full Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories preview

Sep 14, 2006
Thursday 14 September 2006 This latest episode of handheld carjacking is a Vice City-based follow up to last year's impressive but flawed Liberty City Stories. And, from our up close look, it's going to do everything that LCS did only much, much better. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories takes us back to our favourite GTA location - the Miami-inspired Vice City - for more crime wave action as Victor Vance, brother of Tommy Vercetti's buddy/enemy Lance Vance. It's set two years before PS2's » Read Full Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories preview
