As a Christmas gift to myself, I decided to pick this game up...and what an awesome game it is! Outside of the weak radio stations and the sometimes difficult control (the analog stick on the PSP is quite dreadful, I think) I am very happy with the game.

Has anyone else purchased or played LCS?

So far, I'm very, very pleased with the games I've bought for my PSP...and I can't wait to get my hands on Smackdown Vs. Raw 2006 in a couple of days.

I don't have a PSP and therefore haven't played LCS, though if I were ever to buy a PSP, Grand Theft Auto and SVR06 would probably be the two reasons for me to do so.

I can speak intelligently on SVR06, though-- if it's anywhere near as good as the PS2 version, you're really in for a treat. And I understand that with a few exceptions (many voiceovers removed from the PSP version, but they have an exclusive set of minigames and such), it's pretty much exactly the same game.

I picked up GTA:LCS quite awhile ago (might have even been release week), but I haven't played it that much due to other commitments. From what I have seen though, it does look like a great game. I agree with you on the analog stick issues (more like, analog nub). I find that driving in the rain is especially difficult. As for the radio stations, you can always do custom soundtracks. I prefer to use the default stations though, even if it's only for talk radio and/or the commercials, which are hilarious as usual.

Has anybody tried a replacement analog stick? I think I've seen a couple for sale but I have no idea how that would work out.

A replacement analog stick? Sign me up! Anything has to be better than the nub that I'm using now. Heck, even a way to hook up a PS2 control pad would be fine.

I wish that Lazlow has more of a part in the LCS radio station: I swear, his CHATTERBOX part lasted all of five minutes. Best radio station would be LIPS (I think)...the one with the terrible boyband-esque tracks.

There is actually a way for you to hook up a PS2 controller (and play the game on your TV, to boot), but it requires modification of your PSP, which I am not at all interested in. Google "psp2tv" and you should find what you're looking for.
