So many people have gone on to say that GTA is one of the most replayable games ever created... and while this is true, it doesn't diminish the fact that it is also one of the most repetitive games in the history of the PS2. Sure, you can play for hours and do the same things for hours on end. But where's the fun in that? You can only shoot so many hookers and run over a certain amount of pedstria... read more

Vice City takes place in the 80s' with your main character as Tommy Vercetti who worked for the Mafia. After 15 years of jail, Tommy comes out of jail and is free. Vice City has a killer soundtrack and probably The Best soundtrack in the whole series. The story is mainly about getting his friend's money back which he lost.

In Vice City you can do alot of things like going on an boat... read more

Description: Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is a 2002 action-adventure game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games. It is the fourth main entry in the Grand Theft Auto series, following 2001's Grand Theft Auto III, and the sixth instalment overall. Set in 1986 within the fictional Vice City (based on Miami and Miami Beach), the single-player story follows mobster Tommy Vercetti's rise to power after being released from prison and becoming caught up in an ambushed drug deal. While seeking out those responsible, he slowly builds a criminal empire by seizing power from other criminal organisations in the city. The game is p Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is a 2002 action-adventure game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games. It is the fourth main entry in the Grand Theft Auto series, following 2001's Grand Theft Auto III, and the sixth instalment overall. Set in 1986 within the fictional Vice City (based on Miami and Miami Beach), the single-player story follows mobster Tommy Vercetti's rise to power after being released from prison and becoming caught up in an ambushed drug deal. While seeking out those responsible, he slowly builds a criminal empire by seizing power from other criminal organisations in the city.

The game is played from a third-person perspective and its world is navigated on foot or by vehicle. The open world design lets the player freely roam Vice City, consisting of two main islands. The game's plot is based on multiple real-world people and events in Miami such as Cubans, Haitians, and biker gangs, the 1980s crack epidemic, the Mafioso drug lords of Miami, and the dominance of glam metal. The game was also influenced by the film and television of the era, most notably Scarface and Miami Vice. Much of the development work constituted creating the game world to fit the inspiration and time period; the development team conducted extensive field research in Miami while creating the world. The game was released in October 2002 for the PlayStation 2, in May 2003 for Microsoft Windows, and in October 2003 for the Xbox.

Upon release, Vice City received critical acclaim, with praise particularly directed at its music, gameplay, story, and open world design. However, the game also generated controversy over its depiction of violence and racial groups, sparking lawsuits and protests. Vice City became the best-selling video game of 2002 and has sold over 17.5 million copies. Considered one of the most significant titles of the sixth generation of video games and one of the greatest video games ever made, it won numerous year-end accolades including Game of the Year awards from several gaming publications. Since its release, the game has received numerous ports to many gaming platforms. An enhanced version was released for mobile platforms in 2012 for the game's tenth anniversary, and a further enhanced version was released in 2021. Its successor, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, was released in October 2004, and a prequel, Vice City Stories, was released in October 2006. ... (more)

“I want to say first off that I never played part four of the series. I also never played the PSP games either on the PSP or when they were converted over for the PS2. I have played this one, part three and San Andreas. Of those three I enjoyed part three a whole lot, which is why I bought the other two. San Andreas had some good elements, but overall I just got the feeling of being completely overwhelmed in that one. I just could not enjoy it because while I was doing one thing other things kept popping up such as the time I am in the middle of a gang fight for territory and a message pops up saying my girlfriend feels neglected. This one was the perfect blend and totally cool setting as this one takes place in a Miami type city, great music as I loved almost all the radio stations and coo” read more
