This was the first gta I ever owned as a kid. Fuck that forklift mission. I was 8 years old and got stuck on that mission for weeks. Now I’m 24 and I’m actually forklift certified. God damnit.
LMFAO FR. Boomshine Blow Out. I tried to get passed that mission since I started playing at 8 years old, and only finished it at like 10 or 11. The quadbike race mission with Luis was the other mission I couldnt get past, so it was just those two and the ones after to get to the next city
Yo me to 24
even with savestates that forklift mission is brutal
One of the top 3 GTA's IMO. The vice city vibes but more polished with more features, so good. The fact that it was portable on PSP?? Even better.
Huge shame this game will likely never be remastered.
Heya 😂❤
It won't be remastered, but with AI increasing the ease of decompilation workloads we might get a native port. Similar to Mario64 being ported to the psp and pc and majoras mask being released as a native pc port. Only a matter of time before you are playing it native on your future desktop
Its a masterpiece plain and simple. Due to its release date it was forgot for the most part.
GTA III is the most difficult game of the series.
I dug my PSP and my game collection out of our closet a few weeks back, I had left the battery in and it ruined the PSP. I bought one off eBay, a 3000, in great shape and have been playing and just finally beat MGS Peace Walker. I had 36 games, one case was empty and that was GTA Vice City Stories. I was checking the Game Sale subreddit and someone was selling the game loose for $18. It arrived a couple of days ago. I've also bought The Warriors, Driver 76, Scarface, Tiger Woods 10, and Burnout Legends. They are supposed to all arrive in the coming days.
Sorry for the novel but I have been having such a blast playing my PSP, been playing it more than my PS5! Trying to decide which game to start, Vice City Stories or Manhunt 2. Love this channel Kevin, it has helped feed my love of the PSP, and I hooked up my PS3 thanks to your videos. Started playing the Telltale Back to the Future game. Keep up the good work!
I still don't understand how people ignore GTA Liberty City Stories. Literally the most underrated one.
I did not like the vibe as much compared to VCS stories
I think LCS sold as many if not more copies on the PSP than VCS so I wouldn't say it was ignored, perhaps less talked about. For me LCS had its own charm but VCS just turned the dial to eleven. It packed so much content into the VC map and introduced some much needed quality of life features over LCS.
You have 0 knowledge on what is underrated, GTA LCS sold 8 million copies on PSP alone and is the highest selling PSP game ever and has modern mobile release, VCS came at the end of PSP life cycle and had half the sales figure and doesn't have modern mobile release, go look up underrated in a dictionary!!

Have to chill
People tend to appreciate the 80's aesthetics of VC and VCS more and just ignore the dark and gritty vibe of LC on both GTA 3 and LCS. o
I love the 80's and everything sure, but Liberty City has an equal place for me, especially Portland in GTA 3, that place just reeks of crime and the mob.
Everyone says CJ is the badass with a heart of gold nothing gets more badass than enlisting in the marines he was nearly the most straight forward protagonist in a GTA game I honestly think if his brother wasn't there he wouldn't have died in Vice City
Marines? Fort Baxtor is a Airforce base
@@vlad_47well it’s considered a army base, but most army bases house many different types of branches
You mean Vince
It turns out that Sgt was corrupt towards the end. Thats sad because you got people like that in the military. Alot of people dont join for the right reasons.
@@lildurk3004 Its Martinez point to Vic in the first cutscene.
"Why did you join Vic? To shoot people?"
Completely agree, great sound track, great atmosphere and great characters, totally underrated…
GTA VCS pioneered the businesses aspect of GTA V online.
Yep and so did GTA VC iirc
Vice City did it first right?
Vice City did it first but it was more basic.
it was extremely basic. You bought the Property and did some sidemission type missions
@@stephenhughes5156 Yeah Vice City did it first. Empire buildings were a mixture of that, and the gang warfare from San Andreas.
I can feel it coming in the air tonight
I think you "Want To Know What Love Is" : )
Man of culture!
"Like ric flair on shrooms" this is why i always watch you.
Maybe just me but VCS somehow feels more like the 80s than first Vice City, something about the atmosphere and those sunsets makes VCS feel more 80s
VC opens with Billie Jeans, the dancing party in the Malibu Club (not accessible in VCS) and all were 80s features
yes the sunset in VCS is magical
@@nawazeeshali4340 That's my only annoyance with VCS. I can't enter the Malibu or Pole Position Club. 🙃
Playing it right now for the first time! Perfectly described the game, would love more videos like this!
This man’s videos give me life. They also remove it from my wallets since I’ve been rebuying old Sony consoles and games but I can’t wait to play all of them again
Great game. Awesome protagonist, cool 80s vibe, killer soundtrack and a bunch of added extras from the original Vice City. The Vice City atmosphere is my favorite of the 3d gta era.
They werent that hard back in the day because everyone used cheats lol. Either way, that run Rockstar went on in the 2000s was just insane. I hope you've played The Warriors.
Chinatown Wars is also damn good 👍
Chinatown wars is a must play.
this title had alot of the tech developed during GTA:SA, and then ported down to a portable console. Truly insanity.
I feel ya on the recording dialogue man. I have to stop so many times because I keep bumbling through speaking
Yes it is. Best 3D era GTA right after GTA SA.
Never change Kevin your videos are a highlight for me everyday man
My favorite is the biker story in gta4. I was watching sons of anarchy at the same time. They were good times
I totally agree. This game is highly underrated. Great OST, the main character is interesting, and we can swim ! Swimming in Vice City, which has a lot of water, is a real benefit
@@yanis7272 Gang business was a great add-on too
I'm glad that I beat this game before playing Vice City to get both stories in order.
4:20 lol that sentence error, dont worry i have the same issues nowadays too with mixing up my words.

I remember getting vcs and lcs for the psp they came in one package, vcs is very underrated even though the story, soundtrack and the business empire were fantastic, the difficulty was all over the place i remember getting stuck during unfriendly competition and light my pyre those missions were hard on psp.
Totally hear you when you say how underrated this game is as it really is awesome, also toally hear you when you said about the soundtrack, as there's no way I would be into 80s music as much if it wasn't for this game and Vice City 🥰
Dang i need to give this game another go. 😮 I bought it on PSP when it was first released and never did more than probably 20-25 missions as I was too heavy into just causing random chaos and especially using CheatDevice by Edison Carter on it. I loved flying cars/tanks/motorcycles at warp speed so fast that the refresh rate of the PSP screen would ghost heavily 😂 but yeah there was so much you could do with it that I had too much fun with it. You could flood or drought the entire map with raising/lowering water levels, lower/raise or even reverse gravity, and i think there is no sky boundary as you can fly upward until the screen glitches and even goes pitch black, plus hundreds more options. I also got LCS afterwards but found myself enjoying VCS a lot more. It was so mind blowing having these games on a handheld. I recently got a PSP again (blue PSP-2001) but the thumbstick was hard to go back to after years of having better thumbsticks on every other handheld I have. I now prefer emulating it for the most part. There is a newer CheatDevice Remastered plugin that works on both PSP hardware and PPSSPP on PC (maybe Android too?) & that was fun to experience again. I will also definitely try beating the entire game now after this video (without cheats). Thank you for bringing more eyes to this masterpiece. 🙏
The game is great but if you like to collect games now is the time to buy this. It will eventually shoot up in price the older it gets.
In college me and a high school buddy was the only people who had psps. Gta stories was such a huge launches for us because we could wirelessly link up and have 1 on 1 death matches. I had more time in liberty city stories than I did gta 3. Vice city though, will forever be the goat. The radio, the big name actors. I had the t shirt, I put my time in lol.
Great take on VCS. Great video.
I still wish we had gotten a San Andreas Stories on the Vita
I'm replaying this game on PPSSPP on my Windows 10 Laptop / Mini PC and Android Phone and Tablet. It works like a charm. I think one should play GTA Vice City which will complement this game. This GTA edition has more nuanced game mechanics such as Vic being able to swim, unlike Tommy who drowns in water.
What a nice channel name you got lil bro,
"BASEMENT GAMER" kinda reminds me of my kids hidden in my basement
Chinatown is underrated as it utilizes money aspects very well
But graphics are top down but it's alright GTA just like lcs
This is the only other one that I beat without cheat codes though. The other one was San Andreas and Liberty City Stories
Tested this out on the PCSX2 emulator as well with Liberty city stories and they look pretty awesome when upscaled! Highly recommend doing a video on the PCSX2 emulation sometime
GTA Chinatown Wars (DS) is really nice.
Still have my original day one psp copy
I find it Hilarious that this wast the first gta I ever played lol
You're missing out if you haven't played China Town Wars
I miss when gta games used to be inspired by movies. This one, particularly, oozes atmosphere, and playing on a psp felt so novel.
Gta V was a big letdown, storywise, and i have no hopes for modern Rockstar and gta VI.
Definitely the most underrated 🔥🔥🔥
Felipe took over the world via ps2 gems
Good video, but just me that thought the GTA 3 radio sucks? I can’t think of one song which was good
Its best to just save before doing every mission
Funny you say that, I'm actually playing San Andreas at the moment and I just did the flying school! I HATE flying a plane on that game, it's ridiculous! The little RC plane mission is a bitch aswell. I never want to fly a plane ever again in a GTA game.
This game is pretty good bro. I also recommend ctw.
People nowadays literally don't know the meaning of underrated and just stick it in a title, it wasn't underrated when it first came out on PSP and wasn't on PS2
I loved it man, you can have your own business
I just paid $85.00 for a copy with all documents with it.
OKAY!! So far Peeps are talking about VCS lately this Year... *AS* *THEY* *SHOULD!* And Yes, *Criminally* Underrated Game... BEST Stories Prequel... and BEST 3D Game along with SA💯❤
Vice City Stories not only need more Love, but need to be treated like SA's Level of Memes & Popularity and stop Sleeping on this Gem, *IT* *HAS* *PHIL* *FREAKIN* *COLLINS* come on now😩
BOTH of the Stories are better than their originals IMO
Been smashing it on the pcsx2
U should play China town wars on the PSP (or ppsspp if thats ur thing with beter graphics etc.) its a great game, very immersive!
Hot take! I think this game’s soundtrack is better than GTA VC. This game is the reason I love Teddy P and Roy Ayers
No no, that flying school in San Andreas was a nightmare… was then and is now!
With the controller its easy, on the keybord its a nightmare
I have it on PSP, but mine is broken so the plan is that after I buy the Xbox Series S, I get myself a new PSP
2:26 I was disgusted the first time I played GTA V on PS3, and after failing a mission for the first time (maybe once or twice), a prompt came up to skip the entire mission (or part of, don't remember). That is the worst mechanic added to modern games. GTA should not have checkpoints.
I played it on the psp qnd I fuckin love this game it is one of my favorite games ever and it's the best of the best
Are u gonna talk about liberty city stories next? :)
Grand Theft Auto 4 is the most underrated GTA game ever
I want it for ps2😢
this game was may fav on the PSP besides Fight Night NY 🥹
love this game
Goated game, Goated Video
. - @RevTeamHD is rebuilding GTA Vice City NextGen Edition that's going to be coming out soon rebuilding GTA Vice City from rage game engine 🔥
Honestly, it’s difficult to follow what you are trying to tell because you keep changing to random subjects mid sentence.
Dude you make some great shit. I appreciate it 🤙
Chinatown wars is great.
Bro is too self critical
Go with the flow
Trust me the most judgmental comments in this section are less scathing that yourself
Commenting until u do a video about watch dogs wich u are the actor who played aiden Pearce
yes GTA VCS was quite a thing.. but its too short.. well it was for PSP right
I really want and need this game on ps5
Anybody know what car adapter might work with the zenith 5” portable screen that goes with the ps2 slim I want to find something that won’t mess up my truck battery but let me play this beast when I’m on break at work. GTA vice city stories is a must play I have both on psp and for my ps2 !
I rarely see ppl talking about GTA4.
It is the highest rated GTA and I see a lot of people talking about it...
Those who say GTA LCS is underrated: You have 0 knowledge on what is underrated, GTA LCS sold 8 million copies on PSP alone and is the highest selling PSP game ever and has modern mobile release, VCS which had better story and better features (swimming, taking over enemy gang business, etc) came at the end of PSP life cycle and had half the sales figure and doesn't have modern mobile release, go look up underrated in a dictionary!!
I thought it was a huge let down. Vc is the best for me. Vcs shouldn’t even considered a gta game. This and liberty city stories where just fill ins to keep fans interested for gta 4
If you think it is hard on PS2.. just try it on PSP! 😅
VCS is better than the original Vice City. everyone who glazes up the original Vice City is blinded by their nostalgia goggles change my mind.
The missions in this game were unique and challenging. Vice city was quite easy.
Gta5 though technically awesome, was the weakest GTA title story wise in my opinion. OLD SCHOOL RULES!!!
Looking back at GTA V I thought it was impressive but it felt too much like a Saints Row game. The vibe of the game was off to me, mostly due to have 3 characters. The story was not a good as any of the previous gta games.
Hard disagree, gta 5 pretty much feels like the 3D titles in terms of action and tone.
@@someguy8951 I just didnt care for the story or the characters. Trevor was just too much of a try hard. Franklin was blah so was Micheal. Id rather just play Saints Row. I hope I enjoy GTA VI more than V. I hope it wont just be another cash grab from online play.
@@JayFallout3 I personally enjoyed the 3 characters and their dynamic but to each and their own. And it's honestly likely that gta 6 online will be similar, considering how red dead online turned out.
@@someguy8951 GTA V does look and play well tho game-play and mechanics excellent. I just hope that isnt the whole game. Price of the PS5 is going down Im only going to get one for GTA VI and RDR II. I must never played online games other than Runescape back 15 years ago. Im in the minority with that someone who likes videos games but not online games.
Vcs for ps4 please
Complains about guns not locking on but is using a shotgun 😂😂
this game's fantastic but learn to speak if you don't wanna make the video unwatchable and actually get people to look into it lmao
vice city stories soundtrack is better than vice city.
Kinda agree
True... MAY NOT be as Legendary (at least according to Fans and the Media) but VCS's Soundtrack and the Game as a whole was *80s* than VC... it's Questionable xD
Vc was choppy vcs is more crisp plus you can swim and cousin ed over lazlow
Little lacy surprise is kinda difficult to listen to low-key
No where near
calling vice city underrated is like saying Naruto or the Monalisa underrated. back when it release everyone with a console had that game
this game is like a DLC to vice city
Love the colors of the game
The style is just top tier
Vice City Stories is my favorite GTA. I love the 3D era so much! I wish Rockstar could bring it back with larger maps and dozens of more missions.
DO NOT SKIP CHINATOWN WARS. It's one of my favorites and I beat every game in the series. But I think that the DS version is better.
the PS2 is easily my favorite console of all time, nostalgia and the amount of games (classics)
fr
like max payne, GTA San Andreas, god of war and many more
Literally still play that Console till this day... there's something about the PS2 that'll just make u not let it go🥹🙏❤️
Best console of all! 😊@@Officialchristophermorris
every reply in this thread gets a like for being very true and valid
Altough I think this GTA game is one of the hardest ones, especially on handheld/PSP, because some missions in Vice City Stories feel very unbalanced & unfair. But I still have fun playing Vice City Stories on my PS Vita.
Victor Vance and Niko Bellic are the most human protagonists of the GTA franchise.
I absolutely love the ps2 visuals.

Thanks bro for driving the prices up… AGAIN.

Only thing i hate though is the damn Papi Don't Screech mission. 🤦♂️
God don't get me started on that mission as i used to scream so much at this mission as a kid and boy do i still have nightmares about it even to this very day.
