That's how you classify Grand Theft Auto?
Yes, actually. The PSP is great for puzzle games and more simple 3D games. It's not horrific at bringing console experiences to the portable market. Not even by a long shot. However, most complicated games they try to stick on the thing end up being difficult to play. MGS and PoP come to mind immediately. If they out-fitted it with two analog sticks and two triggers from the get go, things would be soooo much better, unfortunately they didn't.

And yes, Grand Theft Auto is a horrific shooting game. All GTA really is is a mash-up of a bunch of different genres, all squished together into what is admittedly a very cohesive package. All together, the game works well, but if you were to segregate each different section of the gameplay, you'd see a bunch of sub-par garbage. The driving portions are solid, but anything on foot to do with GTA is the worst kind of tripe. Something any other game series gets hounded for.
