    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.

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. 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

    I still remember some jokes from GTA Vice City, and that says a lot.

    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.

    That moment when you don't want to leave your car because the music on radio is just too damn good.

    I feel sorry for people who never played and people who will never get to play this masterpiece.

    As for me, it was the best game of GTA series overall - even better than San Andreas.
    Amazing story backed up with the best music hits of all time.

    Fantastic game. The only thing that detracts is the fact that the main character talks. This is why GTA3 is the better game as it is more imersive.

    Amazing fun for a while ... apart from two issues I really wish they'd sorted: 1) you're stuck redoing the same mission time after time because you miss some deadline by 2 seconds. 2) You have to watch all the cutscenes and can't skip them (I can't believe game makers still make this basic error!!

My housemate would have a drunken session most nights trying to find the biggest ramp to jump off. I thought he was being daft until I realised you get points for this!

    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.

    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.
