Playstation_Loyalist Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 There's no major differences between LCS and VCS when it comes to graphics, but VCS had much better gameplay improvements. I beg to disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeZaMe YuMe_MoMoKu Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 ^ Why?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playstation_Loyalist Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 ^ Why?? Liberty City Stories used the graphics engine games like Vice City and III used, while Vice City Stories used the same graphics engine San Andreas used. So, graphics in "SanAn" and VCS are more 3-D-esque than the other III era GTA games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLlamaLlama Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Not sure if you're aware that III, VC and SA ALL used renderware? (albeit modified each time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

will99 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Answering to first post: Vice City has the better overall storyline atmosphere. But once you beat the game, there is not much to do except boost your pilot ranking and criminal rating etc. Although this is my favorite GTA for some reason. Vice City Stories has a great storyline, but not quite as good. Though, the missions are more challenging than VC. I love the empire building feature and swimming, more combat moves, phil collins, more planes and helicopters and the slightly better soundtrack make VCS soundtrack even more amazing! These games are both great! The main difference from VC to VCS is the game's engine and more features like swimming, cycling, more interors, the buildings light up and look very nice, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butters! Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 VCS is my the GTA I hate the most, after LCS. It had more stuff to do than in VC, but the storyline was kinda boring in VCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Argh I loathed VCS, so many glitches and bugs in my game it was ridiculus. It was too cartoony and didn't have the same feel as VC did. I just stand by it was lame and I have never completed it as I couldn't be bothered in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosenberg Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Vice City's story was better, along with the characters(even the ones that returned in VCS I liked them better in VC). I saw a video review for VCS and the reviewer said it was like they got a writer from the Lifetime network to write the script for the game. I liked that cause it was so close to what I had thought when i first played it. Vic is a kind of annoying and contradictory character in my opinion. He doesnt work for me. And the things most of the characters say are more stupid to me than funny. VCS is an ok game but it's at the bottom of my list. One good thing though is there is more gameplay after finishing the main story than there was in VC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playstation_Loyalist Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Vice City Stories isn't as great as one could think about returning to Vice. Though it had radical changes (more neon lighting, more side missions, swimming, etc.), it had big time disappointments. Like the others said, the storyline was weak, weaker than LCS. The ending is too damn easy. I mean, this could be the easiest mission. The graphics were a disappointment: cartoony to the extent that it was TOO unrealistic. Returning characters are worse than their original counterparts, especially Lance Vance. Damn. VC>VCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said, I seriously think there's no reason to get VCS, if you really wish to get a portable gta game go get Chinatown Wars or LCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate10 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Wow. I actually really enjoyed VCS. Liked it more than VC, mainly because I didn't like VC's controls, but still, I love both games. As for VCS's storyline, GTA never has been known for it's STORYLINE imo so I don't know why VCS's storyline is so bad. Graphics weren't amazing on either, but that didn't change anything for me.

Noxfaratos Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Well of course VCS had worse graphics on ps2, it was a psp port. I liked them both but for some reason i hated starting in Little Havana instead of the other island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilHomer198 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I liked VC more. VCS adds a lot of stuff to do after finishing the game. In VC you don't get to do much stuff after completing the game, but It still is my favorite GTA. Although VCS had a graphical improvement, It was still dissapointing. The storyline wasn't as good as the original VC, and it had few missions. I would have forgiven that, but they were too damn easy, specially after you get the minigun. But the game was cheap, and fun for a while. Also I always hated that you start on the Little Havana island, instead of the Washington Beach island.

schua Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Does VCS have anything to do with Tommy Vercetti? It paved the way for Tommy's conquest. Also I always hated that you start on the Little Havana island, instead of the Washington Beach island. Hmm. In VC, people always tried to get to the other island to get the Maverick.
