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,...

THE GOOD:
-Modding Capabilities
-Mp3 Radio Station
-Better Targeting
-Editing Weapons, cars, maps, etc.
-Same gameplay that makes GTA games so sweet

-Replays
-Screenshots
-Beautiful textures and visuals

THE BAD:
-Glitches remain
-Default helicopter controls suck on the keyboard

SUMMARY:
I can't really blame Rockstar for bringing Vice City to the PC. I mean, they could probably buy most of southern Africa with the dough they made off of VC for the PS2. So, I was pleasantly surprised that, after I picked this game up, Rockstar actually put some effort into the thing to make it better on the PC. The visuals are brilliant, and the pastels really stand out on the PC. Screenshot capiblities add to endless hours of fun by making it possible to brag to all your friends about the Rhino you stole by showing them photographic proof. The only thing that keeps this game from...

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...

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...

THE GOOD:
You can ride bikes and helicopters in this one

THE BAD:
There no tunnel or subway to join the cities

SUMMARY:
I like this game very much. It follows very well the GTA III formula. Lots of mission, weapons and more cars. Plus the ability to make money with buildings you buy is great, and more parking space to put your cars. In GTA III you had 3 places to save, in this one you have 5 time that ammount. The soundtrack is way better than GTA III, at least the songs are real in this one and you can put your own songs to it. The game is hard, almost as hard as GTA III, finding everything in this one will be the ultimate challenge. To play it you must have a good video card at least 64 mb otherwise it will be choppy when you play it. Overall the game really kick some serious ass, a must have for everybody who likes to make some serious hellraising.

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...

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...

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...

Here's Why:

The game GTA III was brilliant. The storyline and everything. This is a bigger, better, sweeter version of the one before. In GTA: Vice City you can now get into helicopters, boats, planes, motorbikes and more. The graphics are also pretty good and there are hardly any loading times.

In couldn't find any flaws in the game, It just is THE BEST GAME at the moment. So far the missions have been really great and i'm enjoying living the ganster life in the streets of Vice City. The levels are absolutely huge and it'll take someone a long time to know your way about all of them. They are about 3 times bigger than the levels in GTA3 and those were very big. There are better weapons and cars on the streets and it's just a whole lot more fun.

I suggest to anyone who's over 18 to get this game and can handle it. If you havn't got it. You're missing out, even if you havn't got a PC or a PS2 (but of course you probably have or you wouldn't be...
