Grand Theft Auto 3, there's no other game that offers anything like the experience you'll have with Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. The game of fast cars and ruthless criminals packs more action and excitement into the first few hours than can be found in

Worth Playing
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City embodies the very essence of the term “unprecedented destruction”, shock and awe in their full and upright position. PS2 owners have known this for quite some time now, as the game was originally released exclusively on

Just like its predecessor, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is best experienced on a PC. The addition of high-resolution graphics, improved control, and custom skins and soundtracks help make one of the best games of 2002 even

The enhancements don't end there. By taking advantage of the power in most gaming PC's, GTA: Vice City is capable of drawing a larger area of the city's outsides. This means that while traveling 'cautiously' through the streets of Vice City, you can see

You are plunged into a 80’s style world, complete with radio stations to listen to (or even your own mp3’s that can be imported) right out of ‘Miami Vice’ you’ll be astounded by the graphics, and even on lower spec systems it looks good, and

Gaming Illustrated
I loved GTA3, but I will be honest, I never finished it, I found the city to just be too big, it was hard to keep track of where everything was. The yuppie honey-pot that is Vice City feels smaller than Liberty City, it is far more condensed, important

What few flaws I can find with the game design are more nuisances than actual bugs and easily overlooked in the grand scheme of things.

takes the franchise back to the 80’s. You play Tommy Vercetti, a thug just out of prison, who’s sent down to Vice City to take care of a drug exchange. The exchange goes bad and now you’ve got to find the drugs, the money and take care of

One of the game's best features is its sidelining of the linear story missions. Yeah, you gotta play 'em in order to unlock more, but there's plenty to do besides. Vice City is absolutely packed with side missions, timed challenges, mini-games and secret

It is worth noting that it is very difficult to fully die in this game - losing all your health simply results in you being taken to the nearest hospital to be patched up and released. You DO however fail the mission you are on, lose all your weapons and

The original Grand Theft Auto was a top down affair that ran in DOS and boasted 3DFx support! It was excellent (and is freely available for download from the Boomtown download section, here ), as was it's sequel, GTA 2, which introduced the concept of

Very near the perfect game. It’s engrossing, has a speedy learning curve, and is packed with action. You can play for just an hour, or be sucked in for hours on end.

Last year, Rockstar and DMA shocked everyone with the title Grand Theft Auto 3. Everyone thought of it as just another sequel and the game had no hype whatsoever. People couldn’t be more wrong. Extremely positive reviews started to pop up everywhere

Despite the fact that Vice City is ported from the PS2, the new features make the PC version a must buy, even for those who own the PS2 version.

Rockstar had changed the world of video games with Grand Theft Auto III twelve months ago with freedom, dark, irreverent humor, the ability to run over people at will, go to war with the mafia or the police, drive an ambulance or even a police car and

The phrase "you’ve been living under a rock for the last few years" is obscenely overused in my opinion. That being said: if you don’t already know enough about Grand Theft Auto and it’s sequel, Grand Theft Auto Vice City to write a five paragraph

This is a bold statement that some might not believe: On the three computers on which I played it, Vice City for the PC ran smoother than GTA3. The frame rate is more consistent, the horrific "trails" have been finally ditched altogether, and the game

What is different between PS2 and PC version of GTA: Vice City? In terms of content, the PC version of Vice City is identical to its PS2 sibling; there aren't any bonus missions, nor has anything been cut. Also the graphic aren't much different from the

We understand that approximately 1 billion people purchased both GTA III and Vice City on the PS2. That’s a lot of money probably better spent on drugs, guns, cars, and women. (Of course, believe the conservative crazies out in mainstream media–land,

Other than that, though, this game plays like a dream. The system requirements are just about right; I'd consider the game very playable with a system on or around the minimum specs listed above. While Vice City requires DirectX 9 (in fact, the installer
