Why you can trust GamesRadar+
Flaws aside, GTA: Vice City Stories still delivers all the fun you'd expect from a GTA title, but what was a technical marvel on the PSP doesn't quite measure up on the console that played host to the state-spanning San Andreas. If you missed it on the PSP (or just hated the controls), then it's absolutely worth grabbing, but don't expect anything revolutionary.
