Loved Vice City on PC and in no small part because the soundtrack was so good. I really hope this has the soundtrack included, if so then it is an instant buy.

The full soundtrack was on the 10th anniversary version of GTA III. Also, whilst i have GTA III on my Motorola Atrix (MB860), it works perfectly well on my HP TouchPad running Cyanogenmod 9.

Yeah, I have GTA3 and I was surprised by the addition of the soundtrack and it was at that point that I starting hoping for Vice City and its soundtrack but with the recent licence issues I began to doubt if it would be included. Still, fingers crossed.

I am quite excited about this news in its own right, more so because the prospect of San Andres being out for Android is delicious.

San Andres is such a wonderful, magic game. It would make being forced to go to London on the train for work kinda bearable!

That would be a shame, though i could prove my right to the music, i bought the CD box set for Vice City when it originally came out ;-)

Seems the Android version has been delayed until the end of next week, according to Rockstar, due to "unforeseen technical issues".

Indeed, press release and progress updates (maybe) at http://www.rockstarg...os-devices.html

GTA Vice City is now available on the Play store. I've just bought it and now can't wait to get home to try it on my N7.

I forgot just how good the sound track is in this... so far I've spent more time sitting on the beach listening to the radio than doing missions.

One great improvement in the android version over the original is that now when you exit the game it puts you back in the exact same place when you resume rather than at the previous save point is it did in the original. So it is perfectly feasible to grab a quick 5 mins gameplay without having to worry about getting back to a save cassette.

I notice the play store says it is compatible with the G300. Anyone got it and tested it out? How does it run?

Really laggy on the G300 for me. There is a video in the G300 forums of it running at lowest settings.

I'm pretty sure those were at default settings.
