I'm writing this review for the Android version because Rockstar never officially released a port of this for the PlayStation Vita. I am absolutely stunned that Rockstar never even considered it. The phone versions of San Andreas are technically one of the worst ways to experience the game, but they're slightly more forgivable due to the hardware they're running on. The only issue is that the game was never made with touchscreen controls in mind. On the other hand, the Vita gets as close as it can to the original control scheme, and it seldom feels gimmicky when you have to use the touchscreen for anything. Its performance isn't super consistent, but it runs fine enough for overclocking not to be necessary.

I get that Rockstar didn't want to deal with porting the game any more times, and they figured that it would be easier to rerelease their old PSP games. But they seriously missed out on the opportunity of a lifetime, and if you have a hacked Vita and extra storage space, you owe it to yourself to snatch the Android version of this so you can try it out. The only caveat I have is that it takes slightly more effort to get this on your Vita than just downloading a VPK file and putting it on your system. If you aren't careful or as stupid as I was when I first tried this, you can easily brick your Vita. Otherwise, mwah, gorgeous. I know it's still, like, one of the shittiest ports of San Andreas. But it's also kind of awesome.
