    The controls can be very confused at times, the graphics dont look as vibrant and colorful as the PS2 version and there are a lot more bugs and graphical errors I have spotted. Apart from that, not much else to say other than it is still as fun as the console version and if you are a PC gamer looking for a good sandbox game, this is the one to buy.

    Classic and legendary game. What I liked most about this game was the musics that played on the radio while I was driving. Even if you didn't live in the 80s, it took you back to that time.

    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.

Even then, I became interested in the GTA series and it was GTA III that introduced me to the series, and subsequently I got the opportunity to try out the legendary Vice City. Ladies and gentlemen. I have so many memories of this game that it is not even possible. In GTA III, I praised the openness of the city, where you could do what you wanted, and Vice City moved it a little further and, most importantly, improved the atmosphere. The third GTA has its own charm, but Vice City had such an atmosphere that it is unreal. I love the 80's and the Rockstar Games gave me exactly that time in the form of a gangster who just doesn't make a mistake. Those Hawaiian shirts, sunny beaches, the sea. Well, in fact, there is only a small mistake here, both in the previous GTA and we can't go swimming here, which freezes here twice, because those 80's beaches directly force you to swim. What was not bad, but not even masterful, was the story in the previous GTA. That is no longer the case here! The story is much better here and the main character Tommy Vercetti is much more charismatic, and that's just because he's talking! The whole story has bigger grades, and in addition you drive through the beautiful city of the eighties, where the very seeds are playing on the radio, which further underlines the atmosphere of the 80s. You can also change clothes. There are various outfits in several places in the game. But you can also drive through the city through the search for various Easter Eggs, of which there are of course plenty. What made me very happy was the opportunity to fly through. Yes. We could already fly a Dodo plane, but it was almost uncontrollable. Well, at least I didn't go down without explaining myself first. But here we have the opportunity to use a helicopter and fly over a sunny, eight-year-old city is beautiful. What I would like to mention are the weapons, which are almost the same as in GTA III, but they are a little better, because there is a chainsaw! Chopping people with it and watching those cumshots of blood reminded me of a scene from the movie Scarface. Overall, GTA: Vice City is an improved trio with a better character, city, music, atmosphere and most importantly a story. An awesome game for me, which I recommend.… Expand

    Amazing open world game with a high variety of doing some chaos. Even now it is a wonderful game with an absolutely unique atmosphere and great main heros. Story is a bit weird for me, but anyway 9/10

    The game of our childhood. While the open world doesn't offer much variety, it's fun to drive or create chaos, but good storytelling is what this game is all about. The play tells the misadventures and rise of Tommy Vercetti in Vice City. The game tells the story of the mob and vagrant culture in 86 quite well in its story. Definitely the story should be played at least once.

    For me, this is the GTA game that brings the most emotions, every time I play and enjoy the sound of Vice City, I feel something very strange in my heart, nostalgia for the past and pride. hero of the game. The only drawback of the game is probably only the graphics of 2002 and the mission to fly the damn bomber, experience GTA: Vice City, you will never be disappointed!

    Я недопрошел эту игру. Но я зашел в ней дальше, чем в предыдущих частях. Считаю, что это прогресс, как минимум для нее. Вообще от части к части виден явный прогресс, и если сравнить эту, скажем, со второй, то заметен не только переход от "вида сверху" к "третьему лицу", но и большее количество стволов, возможность менять радиостанции, интересный художественный стиль и сюжет, конечно же.

Он подается через кинематографические катсцены, только благодаря которым, впрочем, и можно понять, за кого мы играем и каких целей добиваемся. Естественно, персонажи по наполнению те же самые, что и во второй части, ничего не изменилось, у них разве появились имена собственные, а так те же жадные ублюдки, к тому же несущие лишь ахинею. И мы все так же бегаем и выполняем грязную работу для них, якобы поднимаясь по иерархии... Хотя все это было в GTA: III. В общем, атмосфера на месте, 80-е - интересная эпоха для передачи в игре. Пляжи, пальмы, море, купальники. Ах да, возможность хотя бы переодеваться и покупать какую-то собственность действительно дают персонажу возможность приподняться. Словом, мне нет причин ностальгировать по этой игре, миссия с вертолетом далась легко, а вот дальше стало слишком сложно. Среднее качество.… Expand

    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.

Очень Большое Зло, Геральт, это такое, которого ты и представить себе не можешь, даже если думаешь, будто уже ничто не в состоянии тебя удивить.

    I recently revisited Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and the nostalgia hit me hard. The vibrant 80s setting and iconic soundtrack made for an immersive experience. As I navigated the city, completing missions and interacting with memorable characters, I was reminded of why this game is a true classic. If you're a fan of open-world action, don't miss out on the timeless excitement of Vice City!

    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.
