Vice City Stories IS Coming to PS2

The much-rumoured PS2 version of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories has been officially confirmed by Rockstar with the game scheduled to hit the shelves next month.

As recently as last week, doubt still surrounded the PSP port after Rockstar refused to comment on rumours that the game was heading to PS2. But any doubt has now been cast aside because the controversial publisher has confirmed that VCS on home console will hit on March 6 in America and March 9 in Europe.

"Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories offers PlayStation 2 system owners a big screen experience of the same storyline and missions, featuring the open-world, innovative gameplay, incredible production values and diverse music that are the trademarks of the Grand Theft Auto franchise," said a Rockstar spokesperson.

That's all well and good, but will you bother playing it if you've already played GTA: Vice City on PS2 or Vice City Stories on PSP? Have your say on IGN's European message board.
