PC  vice city!!! 4.5

THE GOOD:
The story line, The new cars, The new buisnesses, its not as challenging, but is still hard.

THE BAD:
Nothing other than the remote control vechiles are too hard to control.

SUMMARY:
You are Tommy Vercetti and have just been let out of prison and you have two aims get back at the people who put you there and take the town of vice city over.
There are a lot more side missions and secrets in this GTA when compared to GTA 3. The cars are better and a lot more detailed. The radio stations music is from the 80's with some of the greatest hits. The weapons are a lot better than GTA 3 and there are gattling guns.
The Missions are not as challenging, but the gangs are better. The story line was very easy to understand, and this is defiantly the best GTA, in the GTA series.
In this version you can buy buildings to make money, and when you've finished all of the missions on the game, you can find all of the side missions and hidden packages.
The gang members cars are better I mean come on the Haitians have low riders.

Thanks for reading my review

THE GOOD:
More weapons,Bikes and aircrafts,Character has a name and talks,Ability to own property,Ability to enter builings,Ability to change clothes,Aiming system

THE BAD:
O.K. graphics(with trails off),More glitches,Weird helicopter controls

SUMMARY:
This is a great game. It is just as good(maybe better)than GTA3. The missions are detailed and fun. The graphics(with trails off and good graphics card) are great. Everything is sharp and clear. This time around the game has helicopters and a seaplane(Dodo with ability to land in water).If you see this game in stores don't hesitate to buy it.Great all around game.The game isn't perfect.There shouldn't have been so many glitches in the game. But, sometimes the glitches are pretty funny!Actually getting to fly a plane is cool. Everybody thought there was one in GTA3 but they were out of luck.I think if there weren't any aircrafts in this game there wouldv'e been dissapointment. But there are planes in the game, and the copter and seaplane are both on the second island.

PC  The Greatest Third Person Shooter On The PC. 5.0

THE GOOD:
-----------------

THE BAD:
-----------------

SUMMARY:
This is the sequel to Grand Theft Auto III for the PC. The game is the same as GTA Vice City for the PS2 (and soon to be Xbox). It's still as fun as ever, though.

Vice City takes place in (guess where?) Vice City in the 80's. Now it being the 80s I can't image why there isn't an all AC\DC station... But anyway everything about the game is quite accurate. The cars, the weapons, and the general aura of the city is definately 80s. I don't know what else I can say about this game, it is a godsend. And it also gives adults something to lobby against....

Well, faboulus Game that is on 3 platforms. If you don't have either of the two consoles get the one for the PC, but I wouldn'y bother wasting $50 on something that I already have. If you can't wait for the Xbox version, sure, get this one, but if you can be patient wait for that one!

THE GOOD:
- Ability to mod.
- Add your own MP3s to the game - they will be played as a radio station.
- Easily skin the player. You can also have a collection of skins to select from the main menu anytime you want!
- Improved graphics.
- Screenshots, replays, and better control of gameplay.

THE BAD:
- Some things are hard to manuever on the keyboard (like the helicopter).
- Many known glitches still remain. The remote control glitch has been fixed, however.

SUMMARY:
I took the rating mostly from the modding point of view. The ability to create and use modifications for this game are simply amazing; anywhere from car, weapon, map (whole new cities at that), and even multiplayer mods! A few other things have been improved, too, like the graphics, audio, and in some cases, the controls.

This game gets a 5/5 rating from me. Bravo, Rockstar.

PC  A step up from the ps2 version 4.9

THE GOOD:
It has a lot to offer including better graphics, less glitches and the ability to Mod

THE BAD:
It can be a bit glitchy at times. If you don't have a good PC then it may not run that well

SUMMARY:
This game comes from one of the most well known series of our time. They say GTA3 started it all, and this is true, but GTA:VC just knocked it out of the park. The game is rather good in the graphics department as long as you have a video card and a half decent PC. The game boasts complete freedom to do whatever your criminak mind desires and is definately worth the $50. There is nothing better than coming home from a hard days work to let of some steam by playing some good ol VC. My advice, buy this game.If you just whant it for its non linear gameplay or maybe the opportunity to mod it to make it the game you want it to be. I am not saying everyone will like this game as it conatins a lot of violence blod and gore but you should definately give it a try.

PC  The Grand Theft Auto Madness Continues... 5.0

THE GOOD:
More cars, A Flyable helicopter, WAY better hideouts, AI improved somewhat, motorcycles & Scooters, more boats, more weapons, a lot more interiors. There's also a much wider selection of features in this game.

PC version especially seing you can now have some action replay and download some extra missions.

THE BAD:
You hold fewer weapons, gangs in the city are dumb, the city feels so empty, not much variaty of music(no classical or reggae station like in GTA3), you can't carry as much weapons, you loose life from tripping on a curb, too many dead ends, no tunnels, no trains, still many glitches, short less challenging game in general. Also though the city's borders may be big, the city areas really are small with most of the space taken up by the beach, the sea, and the airport.

Not to be mistaken, i think this game is great for many many reasons. A lot of the above I only mention I don't really care about. However, I have a feeling this game will get old faster than GTA3 did.

SUMMARY:
I love this game. I love exploring it and doing the missions. I especially like flying dem Helicopters.

I love the gang fights and the rewards for the many side missions in the game. The selectin of cars is also great.

The Hunter is among my most favorite of vehicles which I like to turn to for the ultimate chaos machine.

I like the hideouts this time. They are quite cozy. and a great place to tease the cops. Bottom line - if you liked GTA3, you just have to experience Grand Theft Auto Vice City.

THE GOOD:
Extensive gameplay, always plenty of things to do.
Large assortment of weapons.
More cars than you can imagine.
Extremely high quality radio stations.
The ability to edit and add your own things into the game.

THE BAD:
Many glitches, even though some of them benefit you.
Some missions extremely difficult.
The helicopters have a height limit.

SUMMARY:
This is a follow up game to Grand Theft Auto 3. It is not a sequel however, it is set in 1986, as gta3 is in the late 90's.
The game is very good. It is a free-form game, meaning that there is not a set story that you have to follow. You are Tommy Vercetti, who after being sent to vice City have money stolen from you that your boss sent you down with to buy drugs. You have to recover the money and pay back who betrayed you. Little do you know that everything is not as it seems.

There are over 100 vehicles to choose from including motorcycles, helicopter, and sports car, all modeled after real life cars.

There are over 20 real life weapons including, Mac-10, two sniper rifles and an M4. you can also use a screw driver and hammer to fight people.

There are side missions such as Pizza Delivery, Firetruck, and ambulance missions.

Ther are many random missions scattered acros the city as well. You can buy properties and once all misisons are completed there you make revenue from it. You can buy different save houses as well which are also is many different places across the city.

Overall this a is a great game. It has terrific replay valuse and will always be in my top ten favorite games. I highly recommend it to anyone who has a Playstation 2 and is old enough to handle the mature theme. It is rated M fo Mature meaning that there is sexual and violent content. Obviously the game is very violent so therefore a mature person should play this game.

General/Summary: Awesome game. I thought GTA3 was good, but this game is just something else. There's more open ended gameplay in this game than in GTA3. Let's get one thing straight, I prefer MAFIA over both the new GTAs, but for pure fun, it's Vice City all the way. The graphics aren't amazing, simply because my PC runs this game easily with no slow down. This is testament alone to the power of the PC when compared with the PS2, which in places struggles with both GTAs.
Gameplay: Unlimited gameplay is what this game is all about. The ability to just spend an entire week away from the storyline but still having 150% fun says it all. This game is just amazing.

Graphics: Graphics are very good, but they could have been better. My only REAL gripe is the number of polygons used on the characters. Our PCs can run this game easily, and increasing character detail should be first on the list of things to do with the developers at Rockstar. However, the rest of the game world is amazing.

I recently downloaded REAL GTA for GTA3 which transforms the cars. The new models have twice as much detail as the previous cars, hinting at the limits of the game engine. Maybe Rockstar should in future spend a little more time on the cars

Sound: The weapons sounds are a bit tinny, however this does not matter and it is only a minor concern. Despite this, the radio stations take all the glory. The stations are varied and there is always something to listen to. I prefer the chat radio stations to the music ones because I never get sick of the comic acts going on. My favourite line is - 'there is blood and pubic hair all over the studio!' This line sums up the entirety of GTA Vice City -> humour/sex/violence
