Its hard to wrong with mouse aiming. Vice city was mostly a hold button down for a lock on. Have you tried GTA Chinatown wars? One of the best, along with GTA 3 and Vice city IMO.

Never found it over here. Handheld gaming and I never really clicked, but I never was in the position of buying it in the first place. Maybe I didn't look hard enough.

GTA Chinatown wars is a rare beast, it's actually the full GTA experience, you don't feel like you are playing some toned down for DS portable version - it's actually pretty awesome, maybe the best game on the system looked at objectively and maybe more fun than a few of the home console GTAs.

I can't get into Chinatown Wars, I bought it on PSP some time ago. The floaty controls, and strange bloated characters just completely turned me off. ugg the driving is just a huge pain in the ass.Weird Camera angles plus floaty controls suckkkkk.

I don't remember bloated characters. I liked the controls, did you use the analog nub? The controls were designed for the d-pad so maybe that was a problem? As far as I remember the camera was pretty perfect most of the time, high up and pulled back at just the right angle do you could speed along straight without crashing into stuff that appears too fast for you to react.

Yeah I did play it on the DS, the screen is a lot smaller so maybe they stretched the game out to fill the PSP screen which is why the characters appear bloated?
