Yes,
And the empires aren't exactly "hard" to take over, either.
Yeah, that's right. It took me only like an hour to take over all the Shark businesses. It was actually easier than I thought but they kept attacking my Empires but I ignored that and continued to attack their's.
VCSis quite hard on teh PSP if your not used ot it like me because I only bought the PSP for VCS and I am considering selling it now. Anyway on topic the gngs are easy to take over with cheats but without them it is a little more difficult.
