You can now swoop over the city taking in huge vistas, land on rooftops and enjoy almost as much freedom as any "proper" GTA game has ever offered. The entire city is here, the draw distance is miles better than Liberty City Stories', the frame rate rarely drops into dangerous territory, and Rockstar Leeds' greater exposure to the hardware has given birth to greater feats: realistic water physics, for one, but most notably helicopters. The DS may have a bigger share (and the public heart) of the handheld market, but GTA is something it simply cannot do. Obviously then GTA is a very important game for PSP.

I didn't decide to be a games journalist I decided to make a Grand Theft Auto fansite.

This could have been just another cameo to score some retro kitsch points, but the fact Collins actually plays a role in the story, including doing his own voice acting in cutscenes, makes this easily gaming's greatest celebrity appearance. Phil Collins' music kicks ass, and Vice City Stories is a fitting tribute to his '80s heyday. It's a celebration of his work, which is refreshing when it's often used as a punchline.

This is ultimately a very simple mission, involving little more than punching a few mafia goons in the head.

Complete it, however, and for $6,000 you can rewatch his performance anytime you want at the stadium. How many games ask you to stop Phil Collins from being assassinated? Not enough, frankly. He's playing at a stadium in Vice City, and in a mission called In the Air Tonight, Vic is hired by Barry to keep Collins safe from Forelli hitmen while he performs on stage.

Vice City Stories is set in the 1980s, when Collins was at the height of his fame, so his presence in the game makes perfect sense. The client? It's only bloody Phil Collins. If you don't know what that sounds like, just watch any Ozzy Osboune interview.īarry is deep in debt with the Forelli crime family, and they're planning to sabotage one of his client's gigs. Halfway through the story, Vic and Lance meet a talent manager called Barry Mickelthwaite, who's played brilliantly by Spall with the strongest Birmingham accent ever to grace a video game. Vic is dishonorably discharged from the military and becomes a career criminal, working with, and making enemies of, a typical GTA selection of gangsters, corrupt government officials, and drug lords. In VCS you play as Vic Vance, brother of Vice City's Lance Vance.

VCS originally launched for the PSP in 2006, hot on the heels of Liberty City Stories, another spin-off. However, in Vice City Stories, not only did Rockstar feature an actual pop superstar, but it made him part of the story and the focus of one of the series' best missions.
