This game is awesome, I got hooked from the minute i played this game. The storie is good, and i loved how it is set in the 80's.
Of course this game doesn't quite live up to gta san andreas but it's definetly in the top 3.
awesome game

After Grand Theft Auto III came out in late 2001, i figured they would never make a better game. Than Grand Theft Auto Vice City came out. It has all the good elements of GTA 3, but with more well rounded characters and a better developed plot in a larger, more diverse city. THe game has an excellent replay value and almost never gets old cuz there is always something new to do, from going on killing sprees to exploring the scenery or even playing the missions over again. This game will probably go down with classics such as Super Mario Brothers and Zelda.
An Awesome Stylish Video Game. Must Play

Now based on my reviews, you will read that I hated the movie Scarface, on which this game is based on, well the reason I love
this game is for it is a video game, video games are not meant to have a plot, they are just known for to playing and have the
good guy survive from the bad guys. You see in video games, all
you pay attention for is the missions and let me tell you they are just awesome, they can be shoot the bad guys missions or car
chase missions which are all flawless throughout. Now it is set
in the 1980's, but I did not pay attention to that part in the
game, I payed attention to whatever mission I had to follow which was neat. THe radio stations that I listened to were those public radio stations like VCPR public radio which is hosted by Maurice (This is not a game show, sorry for the upbeat opening) Chavez, which has the world's most weirdest guests that you laugh hysterically. The music radio stations were okay, but I really hated the stations that played
pop music, I hate pop music. I did love the music stations that
played heavy metal music. The actors that voiced the characters will sound familiar to you for they are the ones, who have been in movies with this type of style before, they are: Ray Liotta
(Goodfellas) as Tommy Verscetti, the main character, Michael Madsen, (Reservoir Dogs) to name just a few of many who lend
their voice talent. The funniest character is Rosenberg (who
closely resembles Sean Penn's cocaine snorting lawyer character
in Carlito's Way), he makes these remarks that are in one word hillarious.
wow

Alrighty people, what you have here is a gem among PS2 games. It's got the detail, the setting, and hey, even those spiffy new wave tunes you can't get out of your head. The thing is, like just about every other thought-out game in the world, this one's enjoyment is relative to the skill and dedication to themes. Sound like an English paper from the 5th grade? Let me elaborate.
For one, this game can be pretty frustrating if you're not used to playing games for quite awhile. I guess that's relative too, but the point is: if you don't have the dexterity of thumb and the wits that this game demands, then chances are you won't get too far, you'll get frustrated, and finally drop it. It's the simple fact that this specific game isn't about minigames or driving around. There are cab and ambulance missions, but that won't get you farther in the game to some of the unlockables, thus defeating the purpose of buying it to finish. So all in all, it gets pretty difficult and it may seem like the game is against you. But if you can bear it and be patient, you can just get good enough practice to beat the game.
Now, putting all that schmuck aside, this game is still one of the best games you'll want to be looking for. Detail, lighting, sound effects, and just the overall interactivity of Vice City come together into a humongous experience to drool over. You MUST buy this game!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WONDERFULL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this gam is on of the mos violent games i have ever played and is not reccomended for chilred under 16. But i was 13 when i played this game at a freinds house and liked it for a while the weapons are great and it was a great way to relive stress. By going on a mass killing spree. But this game i not as much fun as one would think. But it it deserves the rating it recivied.

THIS GAME IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOR THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES!!!!!!
All it's about is cheap girls in bikinis. Probably when you steal a car you will crash. IT once made Austin have a Heart attack and he almost died. I think this game is bad because Once Austin was playing it and was drinking beer AND EATING SPOTTED DICK AND HIS POOP CAME OUT YELLOW. THIS GAME IS FOR IDIOTS THAT LIKE MATH LIKE CHRIS ??????

I'm writing this review because Grand Theft Auto Vice City (GTAVC) is the best game I've ever played and Rockstar deserves it for putting this much effort into it. The game takes place in the mid 80s in a city modeled after Miami Florida. You play as Tommy Vercetti a criminal fresh from jail. Tommy is sent down from Liberty City to the hot spot of crime and beauty to take care of a deal. Of course the deal goes wrong and you are left with nothing. Now you are on your own and must take over the city by yourself.
The open ended nature of the game makes GTAVC the most fun game (in my opinion). Anything you want to do is open for you. Kill everyone and become the number one targeted criminal or live a peaceful life enjoying the sunshine while lying on the beach. It?s up to you to decide.
Vice City is a huge paradise attracting 1.8 million people. While you could walk to get across the city why not jack a car from the street, besides you won't have to run and get tired. Even better get a sailboat and sail to any island (5 in all) that you please. But if that?s still not good enough try flying helicopter or a plane, you choose.
You might just want to see what?s going on in the city. For example catch a plane at the huge airport, take a few shots on the golf course, relax in the sun on the beach, view the skyline of downtown Vice City, again its your choice.
Vice City has many missions to do and hotels and mansions to buy if that?s not enough. Plus there are many secrets to explore and buildings to go into (20 interiors).
But I've only began to introduce you to this game. You must find out on your own because it is such a great game. Buy it.
