Grand Theft Auto - Vice City

Advantages: Great Game
Disadvantages: Poor Graphics

...Grand Theft Auto - Vice City The item that I am going to review is GTA Vice City on the Playstation 2 platform. To me I think that this is a great game with a great story behind it. The game is one big story where you have to complete tasks and missions to move further on. I have had the game for about 3 years now and have completed it twice, with and without cheats. The game has quite some explicit features such as some of the language and animations in the game so it has been rated an 18 therefore allowing no one under that age to buy it. When you buy the game it comes in the standard Playstation 2 box. Inside you will have the disk, a map of Vice City and a booklet called the tourist guide which contains facts that you may want to know about the site. In this booklet it contains information such as health warnings, how to use...

Review of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (PS2)

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

Advantages: The most open ended game on PS2
Disadvantages: Extremely violent

...GTA Vice City is the biggest selling game of all time for its open ended gameplay structure and being allowed to do anything you want. When I think GTA I think violence and this is not a good thing for the World today. I'll get into that later but first the game. The game is set in 1980's Miami with you playing as Tommy Vercetti. Your old boss Sonny Forelli has left you with no money and you have to try to get Tommy from the bottom of the ladder to the top ofthe ladder ruling the city. There are many vehicles to choose from cars ranging from Limo's to Fire Engine's, Motorbikes from Pizza Delivery bikes to Taxi cabs. And Helicopters too including the odd Police one. Oh and there is also boats fast and slow ones. The sound is great with the best hits of the 80's including Michael Jackson's Billie Jean, Hall and Oates Out Of Touch...

Review of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (PS2)

Miami Vice (City)

Advantages: Great all-round game that's almost perfect.
Disadvantages: It ends.

...For those who have played GTA3 on the PC: Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is a lesson in how to take a game which is already bordering on genius and improving it. If you enjoyed GTA3, then you will love Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Go and buy it now. No excuses. For those who have not played GTA3 on the PC: Vice City is a game played in the third person perspective (rather like Tomb Raider). In this game, you play an ex-convict called Tommy Vercetti (voiced by Ray Liotta) who is just out of prison and has been sent to Vice City (i.e. Miami) by his 'boss' to expand their operation down there. However, your very first drug deal is ambushed by persons unknown and only you, your lawyer and one of the other people with whom you were dealing manage to escape. You're obviously annoyed at being taken in, your boss in Liberty City wants...

Grand theft auto vice city

Advantages: brilliant game
Disadvantages: its too good to stop playing

...Oh this game is so cool.I got this at 9.02am on the day of release (does that sound sad?) This game is set in the 1980's in Vice city. You take on the roll of Tommy Vercetti who has just been released from prision. You do what you did in the last game but on a grander scale. Rob people in the street and steal cars and now you get motor bikes as well. This game now has the added bonus of buying safe houses, which are actually save points.You also get to rob shops to earn extra money, you can also buy businesses but this does not happen untill later in the game this again earns you money. Another new feture is that to get away from the police you can now change your clothes. The ways of building up health have changed, you can still collect the hearts ( and there is another way to gain health but its too rude to put in!!) now...

LET'S EXPLORE THE VICE CITY.

Advantages: good story line with great games features.
Disadvantages: on PSP and some graphical flaws.

...turn, the obstacle tends to disappear. This then shows that you can foresee the next object before you arrive in that particular spot. This is a real graphic error and makes the game difficult and confusing but I hope this get corrected in the next installation. MY THOUGHTS. This is a very good game that you must buy if you are the action game lover. One thing with the grand theft auto (GTA) is that the game is based on real life events and environments which include real cars you use today, the environments are in today and so on. So the game is not based on much myth rather it is based on what you see and experience today in your every day life. So this actual gives the real life authenticity. The game is of good value for money, in my own case, I bought mine at Amazon. Uk and at the price of£ 12.99. I hope that...

Review of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories (PSP)

GTA IV Vice City

Advantages: Stunning graphics, ground breaking, unbelievably fun
Disadvantages: Its abit controversial cos of the violence, but I think that just makes it better!

...theroom in anticipation of San Andreas. A black tower sits next to the console, positively rammed with games, mostly his, hes the big gamer in the house (Pro Evo, SOCOM, bla bla bla), but I am strangely proud of the fact that I am WAY better than him at Manhunt. For those of you who are reading this thinking; "What the hell are GTA, Vice City, and San Andreas" Well, let me tell you. Theyre a set of games, available on PS2, XBOX, PC, and if theyre available on anything else I dont know or care cos I have mine! Its hard to describe the genre of the games, because theyre a little of everything - racing, shoot em up, strategy, its all in there. Grand Theft Auto are the best and most original games Ive ever played, and Im including Alex Kidd in there! (Remember that? wow) The game is mission based, you have to complete jobs for people to get...

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - The Rundown

Advantages: Great Graphics, Long Gameplay and Lots of Misions
Disadvantages: Encourages people to copy in real life, Not real Cars

...i have always been an admirer of the grand theft auto series, but this game so far is the best. grand theft auto:vice city brings a new dimension to ps2 gaming. the graphics used are really amzing and the fact that none of the missions are no where no the same makes it better. on other games you just end up playing similar missions throughout the game, but this one is different. any way, before i bore you to death, the vital info you need to know. gameplay plenty of missions, either on foot or in car. work for different people throughout thegame. also there are single missions such as telephone missions. they are mainly chases against the clock, so your nerves get going after a while. not only can you complete missions but you can be on the run from cops all the time, just hit a person in the streets near a copper, then run him...

GTA Vice City - The world of Tommy Vecetti

Review of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (PC)

Welcome to Vice City. Welcome to the 80's.

Advantages: A great look and feel to the game!
Disadvantages: Old game now, newer version out!

...After more or less running out of games to review, I realised that I had forgotten to write a review on one of the greatest games that has ever been made, and when I was rummaging around for it, I remembered that I had traded it in a while ago for another game, so I have decided to borrow Grand Theft Auto: Vice City off a mate, and write a review that should have been wrote a long time ago!!! So anyway, here it is now! The Game is set in 1986. The character you play with is called Tommy Vercetti, and you have just been released from prison. In one of the first opening cut-scenes you are in the middle of a drug deal that goes awry, people involved in the deal at the dock get shot and you end up with neither the drugs you went for or the money you took. This sets out the entire plot for the game, you need to try and get your money...
