Possibly the best game of all time, is it a lot better than china town wars? Because the ui on that is shit.

Chinatown wars is shitty birds-eye-view and not an actual GTA, this is the exact Vice City that everyone played on PS2 years ago

Might consider this then, never spent money on a game before, £3. Sucks. Is it the full version?

yup every single mission. Its basically a port of the old game with updated graphics and gun controls.

No multiplayer since the old one didn't have it

I had vice city stories on my psp, that game was fuckin sick. At the start I took over all the other gangs baseses and started pimping/stealing/dealing, had pretty much endless money. I feel like it won't be as good without buttons though, but I'll give it a shot.

I don't really like the birds eye view in Chinatown wars and it doesn't let me save my game for some reason. I was reading the reviews for vice city and it looks like there are still a lot of problems. I'm probably still going to get it though.

It's nearly identical to ps2. And it seems you can Close the game and just hit resume. So no saving problems.

The driving should use a slider or thumbstick instead of two little buttons. How am I supposed to do wheelies on a scooter now

You can get helicopters though right? The only plane in Vice city was the water one if I'm not mistaken.

Oh, I must be misremembering, maybe it is the same then. Yeah you can get helicopters, and yeah use tilt steering as well as analogue, it's easy to use tilt for driving through cars/along the road and use the analogue for hard turns.
