The Play Station Portable, otherwise known as the PSP, had its first Grand Theft Auto Game released with a huge hit!  Grand Theft Auto is a fairly well known game for its reputation of influencing teenagers to do insane and crazy things, along with getting a huge hit in the economical gaming market at the same time.  The game was a smash hit to the PSP, and was bought by many. 

The game features interactive wireless play via the PSP's infrared wireless-B module, so you can have up to 6 players playing at once.  The game was rated M+17 for blood and gore, intense violence, strong language, strong sexual content, and use of drugs.  As you can clearly see, the game has a well balanced diet of pure evil, and this is the reason many state legislatures are trying to outlaw this game, along with changing the rating to AO (Adults Only).  

The game itself is the same as all other Grand Theft Auto games alike, where you are the bad guy, assigned to running errands for the ones who are over you.  You go around, stealing cars, killing mafia, beating grandmas with baseball bats, going to strip clubs, and being the bad guy.  Rockstar is well known for their games to be violent, and GTA always takes the cake. 

When first brought up in the gaming world about the release of a GTA game, the world of gamers were inconspicuously concerned about the game play and the functions of the controls.  With the PSP only having one analog stick for control, the car and walking movements might make for a terrible loss. 

But Rockstar pulled it off, after configuring the system to be able to move the camera view along with the person at just the right place, along with using a non-used button during regular game play to shift the camera view to a better angle, thus preventing a lack of two analog stick features. 

Takeaways
  • This is the first ever Grand Theft Auto game to appear on the PSP handheld system
  • The follow-up "Vice City Stories" is to come out with more detail soon enough
  • Rockstar is the creator of Grand Theft Auto the series.
Did You Know?
GTA has always been a fun on-going series, and will be having another PSP game coming soon.
