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...

Review of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (PC)

LET'S EXPLORE THE VICE CITY.

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

...When the play station portable was released I was not that anxious on getting the game because I never had much interest on hand games in general rather I prefer playing TV connected ones. All of a sudden I thought I was missing some thing and I went on for the game. It was later that I realized that this is just more than a hand game. The first and the most interesting game that I played was FIFA 2007 and picked up interest in the game without being told and started playing games on it. I then got this and concentrated on it too and started the vice city mission journey. But the thing that made me choose this as my favourite among all the GTA previous installations was the 1980's great setting which include the cars, the helicopters, the dress code of those days, the 1980's environments and buildings. So with all these...

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

GTA Vice City

Advantages: More interaction between civilians, tighter storyline, better graphics than GTA3
Disadvantages: Awkward controls for drivebys

...Vice City takes place prior to GTA3. You take on the role of Tommy Vercetti, a Mafia hitman who has just been released from prison. Shortly after this you are to make a drug deal on behalf of your Mafia family, the Forrellis. Unfortunately the deal goes bad and you lose the cocaine and the money so you set out to retrieve both. The stoyline in VC is much tighter than that of GTA3. The style of play of GTA Vice City is very similar to that of GTA3. There are however some differences. In VC you can now buy buildings which you're able to enter and new missions will be unlocked when you do. There are also more weapons and vehicles (motorbikes etc). Although the game is set on islands your character cannot swim so you'll have to be very careful about how far into the water you go. The controls on the PC are near perfect apart from when...

Vice City

Advantages: improved gameplay and graphics
Disadvantages: boxy hands

...Congratulations! You’re free and Vice City is your oyster. Where else can you pick up prostitutes, shoot peoples heads off and get you’re teeth into organised crime? With better graphics, improved gameplay and a vast array of cars, motorbikes, boats and many other vehicles at you’re disposal Vice City is a considerable improvement on Grand Theft Auto 3. There are more gangs, more missions and a whole new city to get to grips with. This is a huge game that will keep you on the edge of you’re seat for weeks. This time you play Tommy Vicetti who has just been released from prison. You are ordered by your former boss to go to Vice City, a small island with more criminals than grains of sand on a beach. Your mission is to take over the city, you start off low by working for other gangsters but you slowly climb...

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...

Review of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (PS2)

Vice City is not a Nice City.

Advantages: Excellent gameplay, varied and difficult missions, superb soundtrack.
Disadvantages: Depraved, bloodthirsty and anti-social (if you're not into that sort of thing).

...and shooting game based on missions – and there’s not a Jesuit in sight. It’s set on islands populated by a variety of gangs warring with each other. You can walk around, steal cars, collect money and guns, kill people, do stunts, pick up prostitutes, drive a boat, fly a plane and lots more besides. The story is this – It’s the early 1980’s. Your character, Tommy Vercetti, is fresh out of prison in Liberty City. His employers, the Forelli family, send him down to Vice City, Florida, to take care of some business. The deal goes wrong, so Tommy stays in VC to straighten things out, find out who double-crossed him, and make a little dough on the side. It’s all very Goodfellas. (Or should that read; it’s all very good, fellas?) GRAPHICS The first thing I noticed was how similar it all looks...

Review of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories (PS2)

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...
