Folks,
Let me get this out of the way San Andreas is by far the best GTA game so far (GTA IV is promising). But, my 1st love with GTA games is The original Vice City, so paying another visit was very exciting. I know my way around it (short cuts) was a huge advantage.
Do not worry it is a new game, with new missions, some new characters, new lead character. so yes the streets are the same, all the cars are repeated (with the addition of some new vehicles).
I read at a review some where that the game is short, I disagree totally. The game kept me busy for sometime. I took my time, enjoying all the side missions, shooting red balloons, Unique Jumps, Rampages, Main Missions, etc,etc,etc.
Do yourself a favor buy the game, I was not disappointed!
For those who are still reading, here are the Pros & Cons in my opinion:
1. Great price.
2. New side missions: Beach patrol, Helicopter rescue, Acquiring several types of bussinesses.
3. Great new radio Music.
4. Funnier than the original Vice City.
5.

I will definitely recommend people buy video games at overstock.com, because the prices just can't be beat comparing to other online merchants who charge you more, including the taxes and shipping fee.
I preordered a game with overstock.com, and I'm very happy that I did. Not only did I get the cheapest cost and shipping, they delivered it to me in about 4 days upon its release. The delivery time is considered fast via USPS.
The only downside is I never got an email notifying me that my order had shipped. I wish Overstock.com can correct this and keep in touch with its customers as often as possible.
I will still shop here again in the future.

First off, this game is definitely fun to play. As previously mentioned, the music does set a whole new standard for video games. Millions of GTA fans and dozens of imitators have proven that the GTA franchise is a powerhouse to contend with. If you enjoyed previous GTA games, chances are you will enjoy Vice City Stories. However, the inheritance of almost every single shortcoming of previous GTA titles, especially the PS1-like graphics, is in excusable. When Rockstar ported GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas to XBOX they took advantage of the system's higher graphical capabilities. Thus, the graphics were dramatically improved in the porting process. It can certainly be appreciated that this PSP-ported game is only $20. However, how many folks would have paid a little more for a polished title that attempted to fix at least some of the native GTA problems that have plagued this franchise?
Pros:
·Unparalleled music track selection and quality. They took some of the very best songs

Like Liberty City Stories before it, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories is a conversion of the hit PSP game to the PS2. Like the aforementioned game, Vice City Stories is a near perfect emulation of the portable title, and like that game as well, this is good and bad. The first thing you'll notice is the graphical transition from the PSP to the PS2, which is far from the prettiest thing you'll ever see. Now I know the GTA series has never been reknowned for it's graphics, but Vice City Stories has possibly the muddiest and blurriest graphics of the series. That being said, just about everything else from there on is pretty much fine. Playing as Vic Vance (brother of Lance, who you'll remember from the original Vice City game), you perform the kind of missions that you'd expect to play in a GTA game. The open world setting may be getting old these days, but it's nice to make a return to Vice City, which is pretty much how you remember it. The game also pretty much controls the same

I am just starting this game and already I love it. The sound track if nothing else does it for me. Other improvements include swimming and flying, which were missing in LCS. This is a $20 game and was meant for the psp so keep that in mind. The graphics are not great but the classic game play more than makes up for it. All the LCS naysayers may not be that impressed but it's only meant to be an added installment to Vice City not an improvement over the other titles. Again, the soundtrack is what sets it apart from LCS. Classic eighties tunes and hillarious commercials. For $20 a steal and a good tide-over 'til GTA4 for ps3.

Back before Vice City, this is a good game in the Grand Theft Auto series.
I was actually impressed with Liberty Stories and likewise with this.
The Vice City of this game is much grittier than the Vice City of old.
Especially the main island where parts of it are just flat out dumpy and dirty.
The trailer parks are a nice added "Florida" touch.
For the price, it's one of the best values on game out there.
Plenty of missions and side mission to keep ya busy until another
full fledge Grand Theft Auto games coues out, sometime in October of 2007.
