 Definately worth buying December 30, 2009

I asked for this game for christmas, only knowing that it had been released on the Nintendo DS, and had a top-down view on that. I heard it was out for the PSP (That was the only reason I asked for it), thinking that it'd be like Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories or Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, which was a bit naive of me.. But that's not what we're here to talk about so I'll continue.
Upon turning on my PSP, and loading up the game.. It has the same loading style as other Grand Theft Auto games, and then it introduces with a top-down view. With that I was disappointed, I'd expected more from Rockstar, instead of an almost identical port of the DS game. But, after playing for about half an hour or so I was fine with the top-down view (I had tried to change the camera, don't worry!). After a while it just sticks, and you feel fine with the top-down view, and it doesn't affect the gamestyle play, other than the fact that it's harder to dodge traffic, though it doesn't happen enough to cause mass anger.
The mini-games are welcome in my eyes, and very enjoyable, as there are a few of them. The graphics are awesome, and it makes the most of the PSP's capabilities - The graphics wouldn't look out of place on a Playstation Two!
I don't want to cause controversy, but the other reviewers who have said that the top-down view is rubbish, buy another PSP game etc.... Sound like they haven't played the original Grand Theft Auto games that gave Rockstar a successful base on which to change the camera view with.
This game is near perfect, and it is easy to get addicted to it - Not just the missions, which aren't too challenging, but there are safehouses to buy, drugs to deal, cameras to destroy and little side missions like in all Grand Theft Autos since number three.
Definately worth buying!
THIS IS THE MOST FUNNEST GTA YET January 3, 2010

Looking at other reviews i thought you hated it but my question is why the graphics are perfect on both nintendo ds and psp
i found the story mode very fun
the driving is calm but maybe hard in some moments
the shooting is good to not hard either
and the setting is a good place
So that brings me to my final words of this review PERFECT
Rockstar does it again! May 8, 2010

First off, I have played other GTA games for the PSP and whilst they do have 'proper' 3D (Chinatown is still 3D, but from an overhead view)and real music, I found this to be the more engrossing title.
In fact the lack of spoken cutscenes and proper music meant that I could play this at work withound having the sound up too loud and still follow the storyline.
When I first loaded up I thought that the overhead view would be an annoyance but it didnt seem to be unless you were travelling under a train track and bumped into the unseen police car who would then give chase...
Anyhoo, loads to do. I spent a lot of the time looking for hidden street races and making a lot of cash with drug deals which had nothing to do with the story.
Get it!
Best handheld GTA by far March 16, 2010

Great game, superior to the DS version in everyway. Great fun to play a worthy addition to the GTA Collection.
Best GTA you can get on handheld devices!! October 29, 2009

I bought this game with a little worry, but when i opended it up and starting playing i knew i had made a good choice!!
The Graphics and textures have been updated for the PSP..
The view is brilliant and new, the city is authentic with police chases, ambulances, fire engines, trains, bikes, cars, vans, buses, boats!!
There are little parts of the game which are different and fun, like if you drive into a river you have to shoot the back window out, and when you go to steal cars you have to actually hotwire the car in time or else the alarm will go off, alerting the police to your location.
THIS IS THE BEST PSP GAME AND WILL BE A BRILLIANT CHRISTMAS PRESENT!
