So I want to get this game because I like its 80's theme and I am torn between the PC or the PSP version. So those that have them is there a big difference in terms of content that are between the two? Also i'm sure the PC version looks much better but is it by much? I also know I can download the PC version via gamestop for 9.99 or the PSP version for 19.99...

Thanks,

Get the PC one. The PSP one is a different game, with a different storyline, characters, and less things to do. The PC vice city was the real GTA that came out on PS2 in 2003.

Thanks for the advice... I think i'll go with the PC version and since the PSP is different that one to later on. So can I trust Gamestops.com PC game downloads or should I find the hardcopy version of the game?

The PC version is the same as the console versions. The PSP one is completely different besides the city.

I have no clue on this one since I don't buy PC games online, sorry. Try looking at steam however. And also I remember seeing the jewel case copy of the game at zellers for 10 bucks.

I'm sold on the PC version so now does it do good with keyboard/mouse or do I need to pick up a decent gamepad?

I usually use both for GTA games on PC(only IV I didn't because of the compatibility when I played it). I use K/M for when on foot and gamepad for when on vehicle. Both are good choices but with gamepad, when on foot the shooting works like in Tomb Raider games where you press lock target and then you press shoot, and so on. Your choice really.

Works great, especially since you can aim with the mouse.

It's Vice City (PC) and Vice City Stories (PSP), two different games. I say get both since they're very cheap.
