Set two years before the events of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the games setting features several areas that are different from the 1986 version of Vice City, including locations being constructed or whose plot used to house something different.

The tenth instalment in the Grand Theft Auto series, the game was initially released as a PlayStation Portable exclusive in October 2006.

Set within the fictional Vice City (based on Miami ) in 1984, the game is a prequel to 2002s Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and follows the exploits of ex-soldier Victor Vic Vance, a minor character originally featured in said game.

The story centers around Vics attempts to build up a criminal empire alongside his brother Lance, coming into conflict with rival gangs, drug lords and other enemies.

Like its predecessor, Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories, the PSP version of the game includes a multiplayer mode through a wireless ad hoc network, which allows up to six players to engage in several different game modes.

It was followed by Grand Theft Auto IV in April 2008, which started a new era for the series.

The core gameplay consists of elements of a third-person shooter and a driving game, affording the player a large environment in which to move around.

On foot, the players character is capable of walking, running, swimming, jumping, as well as using weapons and basic hand-to-hand combat.

The player can drive a variety of vehicles, including automobiles, boats, planes, helicopters, jet-skis and motorcycles.

Although storyline missions are necessary to progress through the game and unlock certain areas and content, they are not required, as the player can complete them at their own leisure.

When not taking on a storyline mission, the player can freely roam games world.

The player can also partake in a variety of optional side missions.

The traditional side missions of the past games are included, but have been moderately upgraded and enhanced compared to previous titles.

A new addition to the game is Beach Patrol, in which Victor (the players character) must deal with bikers on the beach by beach buggy (by ramming or shooting to knock them off their bikes) or throwing life preservers to drowning swimmers by boat or by taking a paramedic around to injured people on the beach.

The targeting mechanism has been tweaked to intelligently target; enemies posing a threat or attacking the player will be targeted over pedestrians.

The biggest changes concern the hand-to-hand combat system, as the player can now perform grappling moves and throws, and stand on top of enemies lying on the ground.

New to the Grand Theft Auto series, it borrows a few ideas from Vice City s properties and San Andreas gang wars systems.

To make money, the player must open and operate various businesses on property taken over from enemy gangs these can range from protection rackets to brothels or smuggling compounds.

Once a player removes a gang from a specific business, it becomes available for purchase.

There are several different types of business, and each comes in different sizes, which can later be changed to adapt to the players needs.

Each business comes with unique missions which, upon completion, reward the player with various bonuses, as well as an increased income for said business.

Player will occasionally have to defened their owned businesses from attacks by gangs looking to take them back, until all businesses in the city have been acquired, at which point the attacks will cease.

Improvements to the graphics since the release of Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories include new animations, faster load times, a longer draw distance, reductions in clumping of pedestrians and vehicles, more complex explosions, and increases in the density of objects, vehicles, and NPCs.

Various pedestrian and character models from the single player mode are available as player avatars.
