Good news for GTA fans, famous PSP title GTA Vice City Stories is coming to the PS2 and it's happening on 6 March in the USA and 9 March in Europe.

Vice City Stories marks the series' return to Vice City, with the game taking place in 1984, two years before the events of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. The game focuses around Victor Vance, the brother of Lance Vance, who was featured in the beginning of Vice City and was immediately "taken out of the picture."

In Vice City Stories, (the PSP version) the Vance brothers find themselves having some hard times. Victor is a 28-year-old U.S. Army soldier who has been kicked out of the service, while Lance is a drug addicted wreck. They decide to take action and try making a name for themselves. The game is all about the brothers' attempts of taking over Vice City.

Vice City Stories for the PS2 will be very similar to other releases from the Grand Theft Auto series. The core gameplay consists of elements of a third-person shooter and a driving game, affording the player a large, open environment in which to move around. On foot, the player's character is capable of walking, running, swimming and jumping, as well as utilizing weapons and basic hand to hand combat. Players can steal and drive a variety of vehicles, including automobiles, boats, airplanes, helicopters, and motorcycles. In conclusion, roughly all the game styles combined to make one great one.

Up until now, the only thing we know is that it's finally being released as Rockstar didn't have the heart to say anything about the price it will be shipped at.
