Summary: 5 Stars
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City was a one-of-a-kind experience for me. I personally didn't really think much of the Grand Theft Auto games prior to playing this. A lot of my friends always talked about how much fun these games were back when I was at school. I always dismissed their recommendations for this game because from what I heard about it, the game just sounded stupid, to put it bluntly. Boy was I wrong..
Not only is the game not stupid, this game includes some of the most hilarious political satire I've ever heard in any video game - ever. There were actually times when I was just sitting there laughing while listening to the different radio stations you can listen to in this game. The radio, and the hilarious commentary on it is one of the game's best features, and it all contributes towards an overall feeling of living in the 1980s.
There are a couple aspects of the game that different people seem to enjoy. First and foremost, the game has its own story line that I thought was quite well done, and missions for you to do in the game for other criminal figures all over Vice City. I personally thought most of the missions were quite enjoyable, though there was a few that I didn't really like. In particular, I thought that the game did a poor job in terms of making the helicopters or airplanes easy to fly. I personally found the helicopters/airplanes in the game to be more frustrating than fun. Hopefully future Grand Theft Auto games will fix this aspect to make it easier and less frustrating.
The other aspect of the game that people enjoy as I understand it is that this game is what you might call a "sandbox" style game. There is just an immense amount of freedom in this game to drive wherever you want in Vice City, or do just about anything such as buying a business, running over pedestrians, or whacking random people with golf clubs. I won't go into all the different "vices" you can find in Vice City, but just let me say they're there, and it really adds to the overall sense of being able to do anything that the game has to offer. Sure, it might sound immature, but it's just a game really, and everyone knows that.
All in all, this is a very well-done game that is very deserving of my recommendation. The only problem that I would warn people about is that the graphics are pretty outdated on this game. If you can look past that however, you should have quite a lot of fun. I was personally not a big fan of the Grand Theft Auto games prior to playing this, but now I very much look forward to buying and playing Grand Theft Auto 4.
Customer Review: Great classic addition to the series
Summary: 4 Stars
True 80's feel with plenty of fun storytelling.
The best part of this game is the cutscenes, which present very colorful chracters and quite silly predicaments. This game is not as epic in scope as the other games in the gta series. I tend to spend a large amount of time getting to know every detail of a game, and for the most part this game is very solid. most importantly, its a fun look back to the 80's, while staying true to the core of gta. Its a bit less fun to drive in this city than in other games, perhaps because its not as big or as complex as the others, however there is still plenty to do and see, and a great soundtrack. The AI drivers perform a bit better in this game than in gta 3, and overall its worthwhile to play if you want to go back and explore the gta series. Many of the characters in this game you will meet in future gta games.
Customer Review: Vice City
Summary: 1 Stars
Vice city is an early GTA game that is set in the 80's. First of all, the controlls on this game are really bad. you can't aim the gun, it aims for you and it sometimes aims at the wrong person. All the buildings look the same and you get lost very easily. The missions are borring and frusterating espeacially when your character will not hit or shoot the person you want him to kill. Their is also no diversity of vehicles. Buy the Vice city stories, I found the controlls to be easier and I was able to complete the game, however the two best GTA games are san andreas and GTA IV (the new one).Customer Review: An Awesome Action Game!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an awesome video game! I've had it for about 4 years. I've played it on Christmas Eve morning before our family come, I played it hours before I graduated, so this game has sentimental value for me. Although I've yet to finish it, I love to rob people, steal their cars, run from the law, and kill people in creative ways. If you love action and video games, you'll love GRAND THEFT AUTO: VICE CITY!!!
