Anyone been playing GTA on the PSP? I'm reviewing it in a couple of weeks for the paper. It is a technical marvel really - and I am generally enjoying it - but the controls and camera are as annoying as ever. The ropey analogue stick on the PSP doesn't help. There isn't any assistance when it comes to playing on the move either, with the same annoying delay in restarting missions. And when you look at these, with their wildly swinging difficulty levels, it's easy to get frustrated.
Despite all this I'm still enjoying it. Wreaking havoc is the same adrenaline rush as before, and it is easy to get wrapped up in the chaos. Also the radio stations are as amusing as ever - more games need classical music - although the lack of really recognisable tracks is a letdown . I still think Warren Spector had a point last week though, when he talked about the lack of non-violent NPC interaction in the game. GTA on PSP then, so far it's generally impressive, but it does have flaws.
