SWEETGAMEMar 10, 2007Everyone who said that vice city was lame can go suck an Xbox. This was the greatest GTA game, even better than VCS, and is so vivid. the only downsides are no multiplayer and you need your parents to purchase it with you. crap. But still a fricken good game. The second best series ever on ps2, right after SOCOM us navy seals series.

MatthewCoolAug 5, 2009it is very good id play it over and over again better than gta3 much like scarface (the shootouts) miami vice(cops in sports cars) and other stuff like great 80s music and the mission might get very annoying but the game is makes it fun nonetheless

SianH.Nov 6, 2002This game is the best. It's a lot better than gta 3.
-
-
BrandonB.Nov 7, 2002I give this game a 10, but like CHris H. said, it does need to be harder. But other than that, this is a bad game!!!
-
-
ChrisO.Dec 15, 2002Other game makers need to learn from this game. this should be the steping stone to a hole new way we play games. Can't wait to see if they can get better.

MartinA.Dec 27, 2002You suck Kevin B! This game rocks.

EricS.Oct 30, 2002This game has broken new ground in open-ended gameplay, in a series that had already broken a ton of it. If you haven't gone out and purchased this yet (assuming you can find a copy!), I have no idea what you're waiting for.

AlonJan 3, 2003This game is so freaking awesome! Flying helicopters is so awesome along with the ability to own buildings and businesses.

ShayneA.Jul 9, 2003Its the best especially with the smart ass comments and the pootang involved in the film studios.

JamesD.Jan 28, 2010The most beautiful GTA game I've ever played. When I first saw the original trailer with Kool & the Gang's hit track Summer Madness, I thought this game was absolutely gorgeous. The experience is thoroughly entertaining and whilst it retains most of the textures and animations of GTA III but it is a much grander experience overall.
-
-
ssseeeeeeeJan 3, 2010Amazing game! Best PS2 game for sure! Wish they would make some kind of a remake from this, or new game from the same setting.
-
-
*Chris**Faz*Nov 11, 2002It has greatly improved since GTA 3 and has much better gameplay. Overall it's Fantastic.
-
-
TimoK.Nov 11, 2002The best game ever!!!!!
-
-
MatthieuR.Nov 10, 2002Splendid improvement over the already fabulous GTA3. The only gripes I have are the clumsy control when on foot, some crappy camera angles, and a few annoyingly frustrating RC missions (bomb the Cubans anyone?).
-
-
JasonA.Nov 10, 2002Awesome.
-
-
ryanbNov 20, 2002I have one thing to say... Pure Genius!!!! That douchebag that gave it a 5 and loves Metroid prime has a small penis. There is no other explantion. I hate him. I wish he was walking and a large puertorican rapes hmi the ass on his way home. This is the best game ever. No doubt. except halo, and nothing. Once again i hate him.
-
-
HeatherP.Nov 3, 2002This is the best game I evered played in my hole life this is the best thank you for making it!!
-
-
MattR.Nov 3, 2002There goes all my free time, my social life, and everything else I needed to spend time on... This game is pure crack, and definitely improves on the original. I'd like to see tweaked controls and better graphics, but's it's brilliant as is.
-
-
ElSteve-oNov 7, 2002If you dont own it, go buy it immediately. Its even BETTER than GTA 3!
-
-
JohnE.Nov 9, 2002Amazing story line, the best voice work and overall audio in gaming to date, more cars and weapons and on top of all that you can buy businesses to set up your own mob family, and make more money of course. You can actually, as crazy as it sounds, "live" as the character.
-
-
LarryS.Nov 9, 2002GREAT game!! Better than GTAIII, This game ranks beter than a 10+++. MUST HAVE GAME for the GTA fan.
-
-
JonathanR.Dec 10, 2002This game is one of the best and most fun games I have ever played.
-
-
NchwDec 28, 2002This is a game of exceptional quality. Apart from the loading times this would have to be one of the defest games i have ever played. Buy this game immediately or i will eat your children.
-
-
AdamL.Oct 29, 2002Best game ever. I thought GTA3 was the best, but after 9 straight hours with it. It has improved in every way.

JasonP.Oct 30, 2002Dq Bomb!
-
-
ZiggyStardustOct 31, 2002Granted the graphics are barely improved over GTA3s, but it's just what everyone wanted. All new missions, great design, and slight gameplay improvements here and there.

JoyH.Feb 15, 2003Great Game. Better Than GTA3.
-
-
JakeS.Feb 19, 2003The best ever how can you think its not. Sure the missions are short but they are exciting and hard but not impossible to beat. The huge detailed city, the girls, and bad dude attitude give this game an all time greatness.
-
-
TedG.Feb 23, 2003This is a sexy game it is hard but assome.
-
-
JackM.Mar 17, 2003THE BEST game i own. the graphics are brilliant and the swearing is hilirious. the radio is funny especially rusty browns ring doughnuts. basically the balls of a game.
-
-
GiancarloS.Mar 20, 2003Sometimes U play video games...but this one it´s an adventure, I got GTAIII and never occured to me they could top it, Rockstar outdid them selves, I´ve played Video games since Atari but this is the best game ever, in depth, fun and attitude...if you only own one game let it be this one.
-
-
GannonC.Mar 23, 2003I liked the strip club the most. This is the best thing ever invented since the TV.
-

TaHawkApr 13, 2003Clean game.
-
-
DiabloStallionApr 6, 2003If I could only play one game for the rest of my life this would be the one!!!!!!
-
-
JacanP.May 15, 2003It is very fun to find out the many different buildings you can buy and the stripper club actually makes you money if you go to the part that you pay 3$ every game hour a hole bunch.
-
-
JoshF.May 2, 2003That game rockes you can get the hoes in your car.
-
-
ChaddS.Sep 24, 2003What can you say about this game except that it is so damn good. I mean look at it, the graphics may not be up to scratch but thats not what matters,the game itself is fantastic no doubt about it.I would reccomend it to anyone.

Y.C.Aug 6, 2004If i could i would give VC an 11.The freedom to do whatever you want, plus a compelling storyline and levels, awesome graphics and game play make this game better than GTA 3.
-
-
ArseniyK.Sep 28, 2004This is one of the best games for ps2.good graphics, great gameplay, and so fun youll be playing it for hours! this deserves a 20!!!
-
-
CharlieG.Jun 6, 2006I absolutely know that San Andreas is a better game, but when it comes to the music and storyline, Vice City burns San Andreas. Oh yeah, if you have not played San Andreas and play Vice City, you will worship a video game to the fullest.
-
-
MunkeeNov 11, 2002I would give it 100 but u people wont let me this game is alot better then gta3 it has new features and everything like i said this is good.

[Anonymous]Nov 11, 2002It's awesome.
-
-
GodigoyNov 10, 2002I love this game even though its very hard!!!!!
-
-
RyanM.Nov 1, 2002From the first press of a button to the final frame of GTA: Vice City it's incredibly obvious of it's grandeur and success. But beyond that, it expands on everything GTAIII was to make a better game for everyone, the best game of the year.
-
-
GaryY.Nov 12, 2002This game is the best Game ever ever ever made it is so so so better than GTA 3 I completed gta 3, it is to easy and gta vice city is rock hard.

ShaneH.Nov 9, 2002F..k all u stupid ppl out there that say this game sux this game is tha best by far.
-
-
MiriamC.Dec 1, 2002It's an eighties wet-dream combined with one of my all-time favorite games. There are a few things that I don't like about it, such as just aiming a gun will set cops on your ass, but it does add to the realism and difficulty of the game. The selection of weapons is great, and I love the addition of motorcycles.
-
-
WillyS.Dec 15, 2002It's da best.
-
-
JeffDec 16, 2002It's great, what more can i say?
-
-
TimDec 19, 2002This game has everything that you could possibly want in a game. You can pick up hookers, be a cop killer, or you can do the dirty work of someone else. This is the best game ever!
-
-
EricP.Dec 27, 2002This Game is the best ever GTA series game yet! I just love using the Rhino Tank.....It kills anything it touches.
-
-
GregoryC.Dec 30, 2002I liked the game because off its colors, and violants. Verry good and great graffics too. I think it will bee my game off the yer (yeah, i have my own lists). This IS A GOOD GAME! Bye it now!
-
-
NicholasB.Dec 5, 2002Probably one of the best games ever, yeah ever. The graphics are damn good, and the game play is damn damn good. By the by, who the hell is Don M, Swines, what type of loser says swines. One who lives in his moma's house and can't get no biznotch to take to the car wash.

FilazaferXOct 29, 2002I have been playing video games since Pong was the best game going. I was also playing when Super Mario Brothers was the best, when GoldenEye was the on top, and when Final Fantasy reigned supreme. Now GTA: Vice City is the best and it is more fun than all of those games combined. Buy it before it's sold out.
-
-
DEATHSEEKER79Oct 29, 2002YEAAAH I GOT MINE AND WHAT. Much props to the people that hooked me up. tHANKS EB this game roks.
-

DtotheJOct 29, 2002Yes, it is what you were hoping for, yes it will blow you away, and yes you should get right now. Yes yes YES!
-
-
YiannisA.Oct 29, 2002It's amazing that this game is acutally better than GTAIII. Buy it right now, don't wait another minute. RUN!
-
-
K.H.Oct 14, 200310+++++ Everybody seems to think that the point of this game is just to run around and kill hookers, (which IS fun) But it kicks so much more ASS than that. Just......just buy it....please.
-
-
JennetS.Jan 18, 2003The game is amazing, I like everything about it.
-
-
KevinC.Feb 11, 2003This is the best game i have ever played and also the most realistic game. There is just 1 flaw in the game. Some people don't die once you run them over. But I still rate it 10. PEACE
-
-
NickS.Feb 16, 2003For the kid who rated the game a 5 he must be pretty stupid if all he does is run around and kill ppl maybe he should actually play the game.

NickV.Jul 11, 2003A Masterpeice everyone who does not like it must have probelums cause this is a great games. There are so many things to do. You can steal cars. Be a cop, firefighter, ice cream man, taxi driver, medic, pizza man or a hardened criminal. And there are so many veicles from a military helicopter (that actually shoots) to a golf cart.
-
-
CleitusU.Aug 12, 2003OK, bob m. u obviously have some social issues 2 work out. i mean COME ON! the getaway?! that game almost made me puke. it was garbage, sure, it was fun for like a week maybe, but, then i realized it sucked. i got gta:vc almost a year ago, and it is still hella fun, psh, believe me foks, it rules.

JoD.SAug 18, 2003Unbelivable!! So many places to go so many things to reek havok on , raises the bar for every game I've played since , and to top it all off music you've actually heard before.

OscarV.Apr 25, 2004This is the best game ever1 Forget GTA 3. best graphics and everthing. If ur tired u could just cruise. I cant wait till GTA San Andreas (Comes out October 18, 2004).
-

DavidA.Jun 28, 2004Man did I love this game it is simply cool to the extreme and thought I think my parents wouldn't like it much. I have to say I would give it a 20.

TomiB.Dec 31, 2006It's like 'Miami Vice'! All 80's again, esp. the MUSIC! My personal favorite: V-Rock! w/Lazlow... If ya can get Tommy V. to do the same for CJ like GTA San Andreas, or vice versa, put Tommy like CJ, then the game is set!

BobSixtyninerNov 21, 2002This game is the best version of grand theft auto that has come out of rockstar since the first gta game. The only problem that i have with the game is that there are to many cops. You commit one crime and there is a oinker on your back.

JoeDec 19, 2002When I first played this game, I was shocked in the detail of killing there is, cause I never had the pleasure of playing GTA 3. Vice City is by far the best game ever! Buy It.

Aug 12, 2010One the greatest games ever made for the PS2, and no doubt my favorite Grand Theft Auto game ever made. It is a must by for anyone who likes free-roaming type games with a good Scarface type story-line and lots of weapons and cars.

No excuses, you’re gonna have to buy this. Unless you don’t own a PS2, in which case, get out of our Internet!
-
It's enormous, packed with an immense amount of gameplay, and it's a truly unique gameplay experience...This year's most impressive title, by a log shot.
-
This is a long game, longer than GTA3 because there are far more missions in this game in a far larger area.
