Rockstar have made a small update to the official VCS website, adding a new PlayStation 2 section to the screens page. Seven shots have been posted, 5 of which are new. You can check out our gallery for more screenshots of the game, or click the thumbnails below to see the full size images.
The official site still has no word regarding the release of the soundtrack on iTunes, it is beginning to look like this won't actually happen now. We'll report more on that if we get any updates though.
IGN have today given us their thoughts on Vice City Stories for PS2, they seem to pick up on the fact that many of the bugs which plagued the PSP version are still apparent, though there are a few technical improvements, namely the framerate and graphics. Having said that, the game doesn't really take advantage of the PS2's stronger hardware.
IGN's review seems to take quite a negative stance on the game, however it concludes with more positive points, which thankfully outweigh the drawbacks. They gave the game 7.5 out of 10. In addition to the review, IGN also posted about 12 in-game screenshots which you can view by clicking the links below.
