Im stuck on which one to get; I love the old style GTA and the Camera View; The old GTA's also have alot of cheat codes that make it fun for fooling around;

Then again ive heard ChinaTown Wars is a great game in the GTA seris; I dont know though; The Bird Eye View and such make me wonder on how it'll be;

Which one would you get for the PSP?

Vice city for me. Been playing through it the last week or so and it's fantastic. Really is amazing how much they packed into it.

Aircraft, boats, helis, cars, bikes, tanks, racing, amusement parks, and so on and so forth. Better than Liberty, and imo, much more immersing than CTW.

Don't get me wrong, the classic overhead GTA's were great. Some of my absolute favs, but theres only so much you can do with an aging formula.

And the top down GTA's just don't feel as "alive" as the new 3D gen..

Liberty City Stories. It feels the most like its original counterpart, GTA 3. Liberty and Vice City Stories are both pretty cool.

Why waste a great feature for the PSP? When Chinatown Wars comes out on PSP, it's going to be on a birds-eye view. Unlike DS, the PSP has actually got decent graphics when playing 3D games. Rockstar should have made Chinatown Wars for the PSP in 3D view like VCS and LCS. VCS was the better out of the two.

It depends on gameplay. In GTA: LCS there isnt very many 'intresting' veicles (atv's, helicopters, ect.) however VCS has more vehicles than bot CW and LCS Chinatown Wars is an excellent game with many thiings (missions, minigames, drug dealing, ect.) But if you dont like the original gta's then chinatown wars might not be very appealing to you. (but its definately worth a try) so it ties with two: VCS or CW (depending on your likes)

Why not check out Retro Rampage? (i forget what it was called exactly) It's free for PS+ users right now and totally worth it :)

I had the same question and did a lot of research on forums. I loved Vice City and GTA 3 on PS2 and was never a fan of the top-down GTA's. I got some credit added to my PSN account, but after buying God of War, I was just short of cash for buying Vice City stories and could only afford Chinatown Wars. After a long time of hesitation, I gave it a shot. Best decision ever. CTW is a great game and super addictive. The game is well-polished for Vita and plays awesome. It takes you a couple of minutes to get used to the view and then the game absorbs you.

I had so much fun with the PSP GTA's back in the day.... but that was mostly due to the "Cheat Device" which was like a godsend. It turned GTA into a kind of portable Garry's Mod it was ridiculous... god I miss that Cheat Device. You could even use helicopters in LCS if you had the Cheat Device, because they were actually hidden in the game.

My vote goes for Chinatown Wars.

Had a lot of fun with the old-school style camera and gameplay. Very good game for one that was originally a Nintendo DS exclusive.

Chinatown Wars all the way
VCS and LCS were good too but Chinatown Wars was on a completely different level
