    Set in Miami, this game is inspired by the Scarface movie. That's why I suggest you watch Scarface before starting the game. The finale was made in exactly the same Scarface flavor regardless of the venues. Apart from that, the game is one of the nostalgia series, one of Rockstar's masterpieces.

    I love Vice city. It still has the best radio stations to this day and buying the businesses is so much fun. It was a massive step up from GTA III. I really liked the bright atmosphere and it brings back memories when I was a kid. I use to goto the house with the pool out front, climb round the back where the AR spawns and blow up helicopters for cash to try and save up for the house. WhenI love Vice city.

When I finally managed to get it I was so happy but it took me hours cos I kept getting killed driving back to the safe house. Good times. The story in this game is amazing. The missions are good fun. There isn't a huge amount of mods compared to San Andreas but still I recommend downloading the controller mod so you can use a Xbox controller or Playstation with ds4 windows. Or controllers don't work very well. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The most nostalgic game ever, for many people this was the first introduction to GTA games . For me this was the most enjoyable game which I played in my childhood . I am so grateful that I was able to play this game when I was just 9 . Now I know that this game is 16+ but still this game was the most OP game I ever played . Even though I did not understand **** about the storyline, I still did some missions like killing Diaz and the last mission using my brothers progress. I got into trouble sometimes when massacring the whole entire population of Vice City . I still loved playing this game every day . Expand

    Very cool atmosphere in the game. Gang fight in a sunny city with palm trees, a Hawaiian shirt, and a minigun. 10 out of 10.

    Gta Vice City opened new opportunities for gamers in 2002. Unsurpassed history, open world, also compared to GTA 3, in this game you can buy your business. Even minor missions that do not affect the plot are unsurpassed! The open world is very well drawn, there are no unnecessary details.
    Gta Vice City is a coup in the world of games.

    Great Game all around. Its open ended gameplay is something to be copied by other games for a good reason, and it works. The third person fighting mode could be a bit easier and better done. But the whole game really sucks you into the immersive gameplay and missions. Hours of lost sleep for sure.

    This basically takes Grand Theft Auto III adds some new features such as entering more buildings, buying property, and more weapons; tosses it into Florida in the 80's; and lets you take over...literally. The atmosphere is amazing and the story is great too. Definitely would recommend it.

    Well, almost.

    I am removing 1 score point for the "try again" missions. Explanation: the missions are a victim of lazy design, where by and large, you need to know beforehand what you will face in order to be able to complete the mission. So you have to make a first attempt, which you will fail, and then a second, which you may well succeed. The missions are mostly not very difficult, but this lazy design amounts to false difficulty, which lenghtens the time spent in the game, but does not increase the enjoyment thereof. Add to that the long and unskippable cutscenes at the beginning of a lot of the missions, and you have something that grates on the nerves in an otherwise thoroughly enjoyable experience.

    It is still very playable as of 2015. You may want to turn up your anti-aliasing to crazy levels however...

    This is well worth playing from start to finish. Even after you finish the story, just messing around performing impossible jumps or running from the cops and national guard is worth the price of admission. Shooting backwards with the tank while moving forward for some extra nitro: priceless.

    Wonderful free-roam action-game made by Rockstar. The game is set in the 80's and brings the neon and colorful suits with it.

    The story is well written and as all Rockstar(and GTA-games) the game makes fun of itself and is very entertaining. There's enough side missions and activities to have you occupied for a long time.

    I am very tied emotionally to the roots of 3D GTA, so is difficult for me to say which one is the best. GTA 3 was the very first. Vice City the most vibrant. And San Andreas the biggest and boldest.. And none of them goes below 9, because not only they gained one of the biggest armies of fans, but also punched the industry in the face and showed it where to go.

Although the world is a bit small in regards to Grand Theft Auto IV and Skyrim, for it's time, this game does an excellent job filling the area with lots of content. Almost every spot in the game has some tie in with a quest. There is no empty space. In Oblivion you could ride your horse around for 10 minutes and find almost nothing to do. In Vice City, Everywhere you drive there's something to do. This brings me to my next point; driving. Often times, I found myself aimlessly driving around just for the fun of it, sometimes doing various vehicle submissions (like the Taxi, Vigilante, and Ambulance missions). The stunts in the game are a bit lacking, as it's often difficult to find a proper set up for a super awesome stunt you want to pull off (no flips on a motorcycle). 10 years after Grand Theft Auto: Vice City hit store shelves it's still a hugely successful game and easily regarded as one of the best open world, action shooters of all time.

    I played Vice City for the first time when I was 7 years old on my older brother's PS2. All I did was drive around and shoot at people with no real objective. I would watch my brother play through the story even though I didn't really understand any of it. I remember playing a small bit of it again when I was a bit older and I got into it and decided to buy it on steam.

I would watch my brother play through the story even though I didn't really understand any of it. I remember playing a small bit of it again when I was a bit older and I got into it and decided to buy it on steam. Boy am I glad I did.

    The Story
    We got a dude named Tommy Vercetti who moves to Liberty City after his Mafia boss buttboy, Sonny tells him too. A coke deal goes bust. His boss calls, and Tommy don't got the money, Sonny. So Tommy works for a lot of dudes and turns into scarface in 2 weeks.
    The Story is really good. A really big improvment from GTA 3's barebones story. This time, the main character actually talks. Tommy has some character too him, and he might not be mighty complex, he's atleast interesting.

    The Gameplay
    Although the gameplay doesn't have a huge improvment from GTA 3, it feels a lot more polished. One of my major critisims of GTA 3 was it's insane difficulty towards the end. Vice City does have a few frustating missions, but still feels easier to play and complete than GTA 3. The shooting was made easier and the driving was made smoother.

    Graphics and Cinematics
    The graphics are still 2002 PS2 graphics and aren't that impressive by today's standards, but the atmosphere of bright neon pink and yellow, makes the game a nice sight. Cinematics are actually intreging and interesting this time around and don't feel like a necessity to understand what's going on. The dialouge between the characters is very well written, which makes a lot of cutscenes memorable.

    Soundtrack
    Of course a game set in the 80's is gonna have a lot of 80's music! The soundtrack in this game is the best in the series. Even if you think you don't like 80's rock, give the stations a listen, most will still jam.

    Final Verdict
    I really like this game. I didn't feel like I was trudging through it like I was with GTA 3. I got all of the hidden packages, and I got to about 80-90% completion before deciding to play San Andreas next. This game was a blast from beggining to end! I strongly suggest that anyone that hasn't tried this game out, to do so.

In this part you can spend many hours even in our time, buying real estate, playing for different professions, I can't say for sure, but Vice City is almost unique in its kind, which presents so many possible professions (Hello, GTA V). It will be interesting to look after 15 years as it will look and be perceived GTA 4-5, but Vice City will remember for a long time, exactly how to play, thanks RockStar for this masterpiece!
    Отрада, особенно после прошлой части. Как минимум эта часть на голову выше предыдущей по всем показателям, для своего времени полнейших восторг и свобода, приправлена красивой картинкой, харизматичным главным героем (не молчуном), и прекрасно подобранным саундтреком. В этой части можно провести много часов даже в наше время, покупая недвижимость, играя за разные профессии, не могу сказать точно, но Vice City чуть ли не единственная в своем роде, где представлены так много возможных профессий (привет GTA V). Интересно будет глянуть спустя 15 лет как будет выглядеть и восприниматься GTA 4-5, но Vice City будут помнить еще долго, ровно как и играть, спасибо RockStar за этот шедевр!

    - Томми боится воды
    - Для прохождения по сюжету требуется скупить всю недвижимость, а это 300к+ зелёных, которые очень сложно заработать честным путём
    - Нет читов на деньги
    - Нет русского языка
    ВЫВОД:
    Гораздо лучше 3-ей части.
    Игра хороша для 2002-го и даже может посоревноваться с нынешними играми в крутости.

    One of the best games ever. I encountered this game around 2005-06, and all I had played back then were Mortal Kombat, Doom games and Roadrash along with some flash games. This was my introduction to an open world game, and my first experience with this game was simply astounding. I never had played a game like this before, and this game changed my gaming experience forever. Surely, thingsOne of the best games ever.

I never had played a game like this before, and this game changed my gaming experience forever. Surely, things have gotten better with time, but I don't think even the finest GTA games will ever make me love this game any less. I have loved the entire storyline of the game. I absolutely love almost every one of the missions, especially the ones which involve some kind of killing, intimidating and/or heist. And, not before this, had I seen a game giving tribute to movies. A mission involving bank heist (one of my favorites), had a tribute to Friday the 13th. A "Love Juice" mission (I don't remember the name of the mission, again, the final one) has a tribute to "Speed". Still I have tiny little problems with this game - perhaps the most generic ones. The protagonist cannot swim. He can survive jumping off a 200 ft building, but cannot swim. That has caused many difficulties to me in certain missions. Also, some missions are too unnecessarily difficult. The Driver, Demolition Man - in particular. Not just difficult, they aren't as thrilling as other missions like Phnom Pneh, Bank Job, and other missions we get at Diaz's, Cortez's and other places. Hell, random rampage missions are much better. On the whole, not a fan of racing missions at all. They have proven to be some stupid hurdles to me for getting to next exciting mission. But apart from that, I love every single bit of this game!!

    Probably the best GTA when it comes to the setting. Miami styled Vice City was absolutely stunning and it is probably one of the most requested comebacks for upcoming GTA 6.

    - The graphics are extremely outdated.
    - If you install the graphics improvements, then you risk crashing the game. I don't understand why they don't support the graphic updates or do not remaster this masterpiece.
    - The game is short. Really. I have finished it pretty quick.
    - Car physics are ridiculous.

    The game is better than GTA 3 and worse than GTA San Andreas. If someone tells you that Demolition Man is the hardest mission - do not believe them. It is not. There are more challenging missions in the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Tommy Vercetti is one of the best characters in the GTA saga. I loved his personality and it is clearly one of the strengths of this game! On the other hand the secondary characters are very poorly developed, but that's normal considering it's a 2002 game. The fact that we have to buy several properties, ruins the course of the game a bit as we feel stuck having to do the properties missions (which are actually good), but we feel we haven't made any progress in the story, and it's a bit drying.

    GTA: Vice City is nothing short of a masterpiece from Rockstar Games. The cast, the theme, the play. GTA: Vice City tells a much tighter, more personal story than GTA3.

Once the drugs and the money disappear, Tommy finds himself fighting to discover who's cheated him while fending off the existing criminal elements of Vice City.
    The Vice City is set in a fictional take on Miami, Florida. The game's look, particularly the clothing and vehicles, reflect its 1980s setting. But it's the voice actors of the game who steal the show. In this game The player may run, jump, or drive vehicles to navigate the game's world. The player uses melee attacks, firearms and explosives to fight enemies.
    In the end, I can say Grand Theft Auto: Vice City provides just about everything you'd want in an outstanding game. It's bigger and better in almost every imaginable way. The game adds enough gameplay content to engage players. I've never gotten bored with GTA Vice City and I am sure it would be same form almost anyone

    GTA is a long-running series, and it's had a lot of great protagonists, and if someone asked me who the most GTA-ish protagonist is, I'd say Tommy Vercetti from Vice City. The game is worth it for his presence alone.

    I've played VC in 2004, 2010 and 2021 (original one not DE) and the only thing i don't like about this game - to finish the game you need to buy ALL businesses and it's not obvious. That's way I've not finished it in 2004.

    Best of all, the numerous bugs and glitches that brought the PS2 version down a notch have been cleaned up and eliminated, for the most part. Enemies no longer shoot you through solid walls, you no longer randomly lose health while running, and cars remain in your garage until you take them out.
