This game is awful. Everything about it is second class. So what if you can steal cars and kill people. The game gets real boring after a few seconds. We shouldn't be letting our kids see this, especially post 9/11.
what a dumb game

i hated this stupid game. there's only 1 good thing about it, and that is, it lets you pick a radio station in the car while driving, and on the hard-rock station, there's a song by slayer. other than that, the game stinks. the controls stink. the graphics are half-assed. it's no fun at all, not even a tiny little bit. you'll be trying to catch the pizza-delivery boy in order to kill him, and he keeps getting away, making all his deliveries like he doesn't even notice you're trying to murder him. then you have to save some guys in a drug deal, but you are too slow at the controls, and you fail, and have to start over. then you have to drive real careful or the police will get you, and if you crash your car it bursts into flames and you have to go steal another one. even if you just smash into a light pole, it does a lot of damage. and when your little man hops around he looks so stupid. i'm glad i sold my copy of this game already so i don't have to play it anymore. if you like driving games, you are out of luck because they're all stupid.
what all the fuss is about

i am writing this review primarily because i don't get the whole "grand theft auto is the best game in the universe" thing. i read all the reviews on amazon, went out and bought it for the PC, played it for about 30 minutes before running people over and beating them up for no reason got really, really old. there is nothing to this game except that shock factor. sure it sells games but this has no replay value for me whatsoever. maybe it's cause i'm getting old; who knows. but just for those of you out there who think that may be the case and are about to blow [$] on this game, i would recommend that you think twice about it. it's not that cool, and shock and violence is about all there is to this game.
... Don't buy it...

This game is great, I've never played a better game. It is full of action.
Not GTA3!

As I expected from loving it's ancestor GTA3, I had pre-ordered this game months before it came out and I had been looking foward to it more and more as every day passed. When I saw it's first preview in a magazine I was shocked but I believed them. This game does boast several characters and a huge arsenal of weaponry but thats no fun since the machine can't keep up with the action. The frame-rate of GTA:VC has been critisiced as being "deadly slow" and "unbearable" in speed and refresh rate. The voice actings have also been deemed from "amazing, credible" to the majorit of "disastrous and lifeless". The FMV clips are very short and glitchy with frequent 'slows' in the speed and becomes gradually more jittery due to poor frame rate, much to the point that the voices are ahead of the character actions and mouth movements unalike the obvious bliss of GTA3. I was shocked and at a gameshow not long ago my rumours were confirmed. Yes, the title strikes you as a glamourous hit but "Vice City" is a false impression just living in the shadow of GTA3's success. Many fans will buy it for the sake fo it but I guarantee you will return it within a week. I strongly do not recommend this game but buy it if you must.
This game sucks

This game was supossed to be awsome but it is not. You can not fly choppers or even ride a motorcycle. There are no fast cars at all. I TOUGHT THAT THIS GAME WOULD BE AWESOME! I own GTA3 and a demo version of GTA:Vice City. Dont wast you r money because this game sucks! Go and Get SOCOM: US Navy seals it is alot better.
Grant theft auto 3 was better by far

The game is promising to be the best game ever... ok, it will be the best game ever... they are sayin that u can do everthing like swim, ride motorcycles, jetskies and helicopters... and land the chopper in the building... also 50 location that u can go inside(like casinos, hotels, and bars)
8 hours of radio, 8000 different words that pedestrians say. now the main character talks back (voice of Ray Liota) how is he??? that is all i can remember. and the city is bigger... 4 main islands and 3 hidden islands only by plane or chopper... u can shoot out tires in cars and cop can shoot out yours... gangs are smart now... and the aiming is much better... all this is not based in facts... but am pretty sure is all true.
