Still has endless appeal a year later...
So, GTA Vice City, then. Why is it so special? What sets it apart from other games? Why am I still playing it incessantly 9 months after it came out? It's that good.In some respects, you can wonder what all the fuss is about. It's essentially the same as GTA3 - same controls, graphics engine, gameplay - even the same hopeless targeting system. It might as well be GTA in a different city. What's key, though, is that it's been improved in every area; quite an achievement when GTA3 was such a tough act to follow.Probably the most successful aspect of the game is its' period. Setting it in 1986 was a masterstroke, as it allows for some superb jokes and references to the time, as well as nods to GTA3 which is supposed to take place 15 years later. And it works, too - the 1980s is sufficiently recent for most gamers over 20 to relate to, without being outdated (ie. GTA London). It also allows for some excellent cars, such as the Pontiac TransAm of the time (shame it doesn't seem to come in black :-> ) and the Honda CRX. All the cars seem more satisfying to drive than those in GTA3, and some of the worn-out old bangers in GTA3 appear in Vice City...looking brand new! Great attention to detail. Bikes are also available for the first time on PS2, and yes, you can take them pretty much anywhere - over jumps, into shopping malls and up escalators, over rooftops, pretty much anywhere. Of course, if you can't get somewhere by car or bike, take a helicopter or seaplane. Again these are surprisingly easy to fly, and if you know how you can even steal the Apache helicopter out of the army base...More of the game is open to you on foot, too. Unlike GTA3, there are numerous indoor environments in Vice City, and if car dealers, police stations, nightclubs or pole dancing takes your fancy, go and have a look inside. Or you can engage in a little retail therapy in the North Point Mall, with its' cheesey '80's Muzak and shiny floors. On the subject of music, the soundtrack's as good as was rumoured, with millions spent on licensing Michael Jackson, Gary Numan, Hall and Oates, Nena, The Buggles and a whole host of early Eighties music spread over ten radio stations, along with the usual hilarious GTA "talk-radio" stations. It really reinforces the 1980's feel of the game, and justifiably received a 7-disc soundtrack release. Health is more readily-available too, with pizza places, hot-dog stands, hotels and of course prostitutes all ready to boost your health a bit.Missions? Well, they aren't quite as satisfying as those on the original 1996 version of GTA, but they're easily a match for those in GTA3, and in some ways are better because of the Eighties references. One mission in particular sees you jumping across skyscraper rooves and catwalks on a superbike, which is great fun. The game has an excellent storyline well supported by a cast including Ray Lolita and Dennis Hopper. The fact that your character now has a name and a personality - and actually speaks - is a significant improvement over GTA3 too.That should be enough to erase any doubts about the purchase of Vice City. I should mention the weapons as well - which include all those from GTA3 plus a great many extra, especially the Colt Python; and the superb graphics, which are smoother and more detailed than those in GTA3 while still retaining a real, neon-lit 1980s feel - but I don't want to over-sell it. Put it this way...I can think of only three things to improve; the dodgy aiming system, the lack of a DeLorean (preferably with time-travelling capabilities) and the absence of Gary Numan's "Are Friends Electric?" from the soundtrack. That's all, and that's not exactly a list of major failings. Now, if someone wants to bring out "The Getaway; 1986" with British '80s cars, I'll be a very happy man...

Not as good as San Andreas but still needed.
Having been a GTA fan for years I can say that this one is a classic. It is set in 1986 in Miami two years before the new Vice City Stories. These are the best games ever, there are endless things to do and characters in other GTA games involved to, there are lots of missions aswell.You start out with nothing just being released from prison and have been imployed by the Forelli mafia family, a well known gang in Liberty City and they send you to Vice to start the drug buisness there for them but you are immedietly set up by an unknown cartel and you cocaine is stolen. The aim of this mission is to find the cocaine and edventually take over Vice City but to do this you must find many contacts, explore, fight escape the many things in the narcotics gang world and much more to do this. It is a must have game but new fans to GTA I say get San Andreas.

Not as good as GTA3
I bought this game expecting to have the greatest game ever made but also had in the back of my mind knowledge of sequels not being all that good. Yes their is a whole new city and new vehicles to drive but sadly this game just isn't up tp GTA3 standards. The city for starters is far to small and everything is cramped together. The police AI is still not realistic, police will not drive up ramps and will occasionally be able to run and shoot through walls. The graphics are relativley poor, Blured visuals are very common which was sad to see. One good thing about Vice City is the soundtrack, Everything from Mickhael Jackson to Spandeau Ballet will grace your ears as you drive around and the various d.j's will keep you ammused. If you want my advice then buy the Getaway, which has a huge real life London and a much bigger and better storyline

Damaged goods
I appreciate this game is old, but this one clearly has been used by children.The condition of the plastic box is terrible (been chewed and damaged - looks like by a dog)The condition of the game itself is so bad the game crashed 10 mins into playing.I have tried this 5 times and each time the game freezes and I have to reset the PlayStation.I suspect the owner knew this, hence the reason it is being sold.Delivery was fast, but due to the damage on the CD itself, this game is unplayable.Very disappointing and I wish for a refund and will return the game

Classic game at a great price!
The item was received very quickly and well packaged. The game included maps and instructions and was just as described by the seller. A classic game at a great price.

A great game, just don't buy it for the kids!
This is a great game, whilst it is very similar to GTA3 it is still great. There are lots of different missions, the graphics are good, the story complements the game well (rather than getting in the way as is the case in many games). It is a mixture of 2 games really, a driving/racing game and a shoot em up/ beat em up.Its 18 certificate is certainly deserved with large amount of violence and the possibilty of killing police etc something that you should not encourage children to view.I think the game is a great pastiche of TV shows such as Miami Vice right down to some of the police driving Ferraris and wearing suit with their sleeves rolled up.

My Review Of GTA Vice City
Thank you so much for Vice City still playing on it to this day, and I am really enjoying it like I do with all GTA's as they are all unique and one of a kind. I have been playing on for about 2 weeks now and have made so much progress too. I now have over half the game already complete and am really liking everything thats around the next corner on the game, the map, the characters, the humour and of course the arsenal of weaponry attainable it kicks ass. I now have 66% Game Completion and have done loads of the Story Missions, Side Missions and other Minor Things on the game to fully complete it. So thanks again a great purchase.

Customer service was outstanding when I had questions about the product.
From the decade of big hair, excess and pastel suits comes a story of one man's rise to the top of the criminal pile. Vice City is a huge urban sprawl ranging from the beach to the swamps and the glitz to the ghetto and is the most varied, complete and alive digital city ever created. Combining non-linear gameplay with a character-driven narrative, you arrive in a town brimming with delights and degradation and are given the opportunity to take it over as you choose. Pop stars, real-estate developers, politicians, trailer trash: everyone is moving to Vice City to find out what makes it the number one growth city in America. But, as you'll quickly find out, trust is still the rarest of commodities.
Vice City offers vehicular pleasures to suit every taste. For the speed enthusiast, there are high-performance cars and motorbikes. For the sportsman, a powerboat or a golf buggy lets you enjoy the great outdoors. For those that need that sense of freedom and escape, why not charter a helicopter and see the beauty of Vice City from the air?
As the party capital of America, you would expect your ears to be seduced by a host of sultry melodies and pumping beats, but you'll be amazed as you sweep the through Vice City's FM dial. Tune into some driving rock, some crucial electro or maybe you want to slow down with some sweet soul--and there'll always be some great romantic anthems if you want to really take your mind off things. For the action man or the outdoors type, there're tons of fun things to do and adventures to be had. For the secretive or creepy type, Vice City is full of surprises; a place where you'll constantly be surprised by the vivacious, fun-loving types who live there and the things you can discover.
