Even though Vice City Stories (VCS) was well received for the PlayStation Portable, the transition to the PS2 hasn’t been a pleasant one. Sure it’s a Grand Theft Auto game and offers everything you’ve come to expect from a GTA game, but after playing San Andreas, the last great GTA game for the PS2, Vice City Stories for the PS2 feels like a tremendous step down and is beyond disappointing.
Part of this disappointment stems from the fact that this game looks downright hideous after games like Gears of War, Lost Planet and Fight Night Round 3. And even if you weren’t used to next generation visuals the game still looks uglier than most PS2 games out there since Rockstar have blindly ported the PSP version to the big screen.
The other part comes from the fact that even though this was a GTA game it still wasn’t fun to play. For starters, the protagonist of this game is perhaps the most boring lead to grace a Grand Theft Auto game ever; even the mute from GTA III was better than this whining little "look at me I’m a good guy forced to do bad things" bitch. I mean come on, you give us Tommy "the badass" Vercetti and Carl "gangsta" Johnson and then we have this turd who keeps trying to win the crowd’s sympathy but fails miserably; seriously dude if you need the money just STFU, sell those drugs, and do some while you’re at it too; it’ll ease your pain.
Other than the above mentioned points, the game plays out like any other GTA game; only the story isn’t as entertaining like previous games. VCS takes place a couple of years before the events of Vice City and puts you in the morally confused boots of Vic Vance, brother of Lance Vance Dance (Vice City). Vic starts the game off as a soldier who’s forced to partake in shady operations since he needs the money to help his sick brother out but pretty soon, the illegal odd jobs he performs for his drug and hooker loving sergeant gets him expelled from the army after which he takes to the streets and does what it takes to survive.
