5. GTA Vice City Stories (Original Release: 2006, PSP)
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories is Vice City, but with better controls and more things to do. GTA VCS also added a ton of San Andreas-style features, such as swimming, gang wars, and multiple outfits to wear, among other things. After years of watching Tommy drown, being able to swim around Vice City is a welcome change.
The gang wars and empire-building mechanics in Vice City Stories are a highlight. Growing your business and defending it to earn money is a ton of fun, though I wouldn’t be surprised if most people missed out on the experience because it was only initially available on PSP (and later ported to PS2)
FUN FACT: Most celebrities who appear in GTA tend to play a character—. Samuel L. Jackson, for example, was in GTA San Andreas, but as corrupt officer Tenpenny. In Vice City Stories, Phil Collins appears…as Phil Collins. Hell, he actually performs in Vice City. It’s a bit strange and of course, because it is GTA, someone wants to kill the famous musician.
