    This game is a piece of art and hundreds of people who are still playing this masterpiece can't be wrong, right? I honestly can't find much to say about the games I like, but I'll try.

I honestly can't find much to say about the games I like, but I'll try. The gameplay is very smooth and entertaining supported with the huge map that it would take a lot of time to explore. Aside from the cleverly designed missions, you can go to a strip club, go bet on horse racing, be a cab driver, get wanted levels and try to survive without using cheats etc. But the thing that makes me like it the most is the intriguing dialogues and cutscenes. It might seem like classic gangster crap at first: swear, do drugs, swear, shoot people, but there's much much more to it than that. You get to observe how Carl is used by the corrupted police officers, the irony in that situation, process in which Johnson family breaks apart sweetened with occasional humor in events such as Jeffrey and Freddy's dialogue (dropping the soap). This game is just awesome and I'm sure everyone can find something that interests them in it. Btw, don't forget to turn off v-sync for a smoother experience :)… Expand

    PC Ver. really improve a lots from the PS2 Ver.But seems like some 'naughty'glitches haven't been solved yet,so it is not a real remastered version.But it is not as ugly as PS2 Version(like orange weather)It is really clean.

    Metacritic forces me to write a seventy-five character review so that I can have my notes listed without searching game by game.

    One of the top 3 games of all time, most likely THE best game of all time. The amount of fun possible with this game is insane. The amount of things you can do in this game is also insane. This honestly might just be the greatest game ever made.

    Excellent background setting and character design, huge maps and gang culture construct this classic game.So many features of gameplay can still be found in GTAⅤ,It's a good undertake.

    This game was awesome, so many things to do to kill time, I would literally get lost sometimes. Not the best Graphics but it was bearable. Top story and gameplay though, I spent many, many hours in this one and so did all my friends. but some missions very hard.

    Amazing game, with amazing story and nostalgia for many gamers. I think this is one of the pinnacles of PC gaming of the first half of 10s.

    Absolutely astounding game, especially for 2004. Amazing story filled with dozens of charismatic and rememberable characters, very well designed main missions, storytelling and progressing through is very coherent, side missions are very well made and rewarding. Subjectively: weapons feel nearly perfect and possibility of using skill-based techniques makes it even better. The best openAbsolutely astounding game, especially for 2004.

    This is my second completed Grand Theft Auto, with this GTA. In 2010, I played in San Andreas for the first time and didn’t even try to somehow pass by, just having a ride and freeriding. In 2020, I set myself a mini-goal to go through the entire 3D GTA Universe, and I can say that 2/3 of the parts have already been    "See you again ... Officer"

    Vice City hooked me somehow more than San Andreas, although it would seem like a whole staff with 3 cities, the opportunity to eat, go to the gym, a lot of aircraft, trains, a jetpack, and a bunch of everything else (you can list 5000 characters ;D )    … Expand

    Say hello to one of the best games ever made. Graphics are offcourse not very good, but this game is quiet old. The gameplay is amazing, plus the fact that there are so manny cheats, which i love :3

    Плюсы:
    - аЦ-Ц-Цкий геймплей
    - уникальная многогранная история, соединившая в себе уличную философию и жизненную мудрость - потрясающие кинематографические сценки на старом движке. Забыть падение пожарной машины с моста я не смогу никогда. Матерчатые модели персонажей смотрятся куда более привлекательно, чем в предшествующих частях и, несмотря на угловатость, оставляют после себя лишь    Плюсы:

    - отличное звуковое сопровождение
    - RPG-составляющая
    Минус:
    - физический движок. Большие столбы падают при малейшем соприкосновении с вашим железным конем, а тонкие деревья - стоят, даже не шелохнутся. Огромный грузовик можно в одиночку затолкать дальше, чем видишь
