Playing A Game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories PS2

It's good to be back in Vice City. The weather, the music, the straightforward game map - it's nice.

I've only just started in Vice City Stories, but I have to say I'm surprised by the vacuousness of the game's plot. I expected something lighter than San Andreas, since this debuted on a system with basically no battery life; but between the low-key story scenes and the characters all having multiple-personality disorder, it's a GTA3-caliber narrative, which is a little sad.

Other than that I don't have much to go on yet. But I am looking forward to this game's big feature: empire building, which as far as I know, is like a combination of gang warfare from San Andreas and property ownership from Vice City. F'in sweet.

Progress: Pretty sure Phil is going to end up robbing a bank
