THE GOOD: - An amazing cast of voices from Burt Reynolds to Ray Liotta - Very addictive - Incredible scenery. - Fun missions.
THE BAD: - Glitchy
SUMMARY: Grand Theft Auto: Vice City was my first ever GTA console game. I didn't know what to expect at first, but I was absolutely hooked after playing it the first time. You play as Tommy Vercetti, voiced by Ray Liotta, who just got out of prison. He's down in Florida to make an important deal with boss Sonny Forelli. However, it's a set up and the two cronies that were following you and the dealer are shot down. You have no choice but to ditch the money and make a run for it. However, losing that money does not sit well with Sonny. He gives you time to recollect the money or it's your head that will pay the price.
The first thing you'll notice about Vice City is the scenery. It's incredible how well they got down Miami in the 1980's. There's a lot of detail and a...
THE GOOD: The fact that it is Miami and in the 80's is great enough, but there is more; just like Grand Theft Auto III, but with sunny weather, plus you get to fly planes, helicopters, and ride bikes, plus more side missions and better controls with new additions.
THE BAD: Nothing bad here.
SUMMARY: Welcome to Vice City, think of everything good in my Grand Theft Auto III review, and add all of this. You play Tommi Vercetti, a real bad ass who has just spent a mighty fifteen year sentence in the can. Now out, your back on the job, working for your old boss Sonny Forelli, who has sent you and your trusty sidekick lawyer to Vice City, to take care of a drug deal. As luck would have it, you get ambushed and lose the drugs and the cash, oh well. Now your mission is to find and kill whoever took the stuff. Lance Vance, the brother of the guy who got shot who you were supposed to do the deal with also wants revenge and offers to help you out. Along...
THE GOOD: - Plenty to do - Lots of missions - Lots of great areas for rampages - Long game that keeps you interested - Endless Fun
THE BAD: - Not much, there is a number of glitches in the game but that isnt that big of a deal as the game is amazing anyway.
SUMMARY: There is soo many missions and side missions and other stuff to do in Vice City that the fun is endless. You can go around kill 1000 people in an hour. You can shoot missiles out of a helicopter. It is the best game i own. You can always find something to do in this game. You can do anything from drive boats to racing remote controlled cars. You can drive around doing drie buys of delivering pizzas. The missions keep you interested and are very fun and can be challenging if you dont cheat. The challenge is what makes the game even more fun. There are many side missions that are fun also if you dont wanna do the main missions. You can do rampages where you...
THE GOOD: Great city setting Engaging storyline Famous names among cast More entertaining than GTA3 Better characters Replay value
THE BAD: Justifyably glitchy game Some missions can be tiresome/annoying
SUMMARY: GTA Vice City was by far better than GTA3. If it wasn't for the glitchiness of the game then I'd rate it a 5/5.
GRAPHICS
The graphics in this game are superior to GTA3's graphics. The clean, crisp feeling of the city was an immediate noticable change. The animators must have spent a long time on this one. Newspapers blow along the street in the roguher areas. Sharks, jellyfish and turtles appear underwater. Glass will smash when shot at. The draw distance has been doubled since GTA3. The best feature though was the range of costumes you could choose to wear. Whether you want a Hawaiian street outfit, or a smooth Soiree outfit, you can choose from an array of clothes to change into, instead of one dull...
The main character in this game is cooler than the one in San Andreas.
Lots of cheats
Some of the missions are fun.
The map is an okay size
THE BAD: The graphics are weird. It doesn't look much better than a Playstation 1 game would look like.
It's too easy to get wanted stars.
The gameplay is a tad outdated. If you've played San Andreas you might know what I mean.
SUMMARY: Difficulty: Medium
After getting San Andreas I decided to go out and rent Vice City. And of cours it's not better than San Andreas is I expect but it's still a good game. You a character named Tommy Vercetti do missions and cause chaos with. You get to steal almost any car of your choice but try not to do that in front of cops or you'll get caught! Unlike in GTA: San Andreas the cops actually set out spikes and road blocks when you get 3 or more wanted stars.
THE GOOD: Everything. No seriously. There isn't one flaw in this game. The gameplay, storyline,and graphics(as cartoonish as they may be) are perfect. The soundtrack is unbelievable. This is the video game industry at its finest.
THE BAD: I can honestly say that I cannot find one thing wrong with this game. Some might consider the graphics lame and a step behind today's other top titles, but I tell them that's what gives Vice City its uniqueness. Likewise, critics argue that the is somewhat glitchy. That's true, and while there is always the occasional glitch, it in no means hampers the way you play the game. If anything, it makes it more enjoyable.
SUMMARY: In conclusin-Combine stellar gameplay, a superb story line, and hours upon hours of replay value, I give Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, a 5/5
THE GOOD: This is a pretty good game. Not as good as San Andreas but still pretty good. The cars and music is great. After all it is set in the 80s. Tommy can change his clothes with clothes icons. The story line is great in every way. It all fits so great together.
THE BAD: This game is the king of glitches. There are so many. You cant swim. Game gets boring after a while. Cant fly very high in the sky. Still cant fly jets and planes.
There are others but these are the worst of them all.
SUMMARY: It is a pretty good game in general. With the real feel of the 80s in Miami great looking skies and great weapons this game will get you hooked. Like I said before this game get boring after eight months. Some people though wont ever get tired of this game. I really prefer this game to tohers.
THE GOOD: Graphics are pretty good, Not as good as San andreas but still pretty good. The story is the best of any GTA and it has good interesting characters
THE BAD: There's not much here. quite a few glitches, People complain about not being able to use gameshark cheats but the idea of this game is to be fun without cheats.
SUMMARY: This was the first game i got for my PS2 and i finished if all the way through. I then got GTA3 and realised how much VC improved from it's predecesssor. Then I went and got GTA:SA Its had better graphics but it just wasn't all that much better than VC with not many new things unlike VC which added at least 15 things from GTA3. Such as jumping out of moving cars. GRAPHICS. 9/10 Quite good, still boxy hands and cars with pretty dodgey steering wheels. But still quite satisfing to look at STORY: 7/10 The best any GTA has ever offered with a large amount of the missions actually being of importance to the...
THE GOOD: Good variety of cars and weapons Ray Liotta does a great job playing Tommy Vercetti Lots of big name stars playing voices Money actually has a purpose now, unlike in GTA III It's repetitive, after you beat the storyline missions you have to do a lot more stuff to get 100%
THE BAD: The storyline sucks, well in my opinion Cops AI is stupid at times The environment can get rather boring. The map isn't all that big.
SUMMARY: GTA: Vice City has a great 80's feel to it. It has lots of A-list movie stars in it playing the characters and even the main character. Ray Liotta from movies such as The Rat Pack and John Q plays Tommy Vercetti, who spent 15 years in jail. From Liberty City, he was sent to Vice City by the Forelli's. I don't get the storyline at all, you may call me stupid but I'm not exactly into mafia type of films, infact this is the closest I have ever gotten to one. It seems that all the missions you do are...
THE GOOD: Well... like i said, 2.0-This is almost da bomb... honest!
Id like to say this game is fun, cuz it is! this game is really cool, the freedom is the best tho... just to hop on a PJC and go for a cruise to the airport or even a highspeed chase around VC, This game is a classic and will always be fun to just pop it in the PS2 and play... driven around listenin to the radio, this games sweet.
THE BAD: well the downside of this game is that comparing to San Andreas, well, it sucks, period. Theres only 3 or 4 different bikes and a little selection of vehicles, not as much/good garages, its a little map, and the planes are hard to control.
SUMMARY: as i was saying.... this game would be fun if you had a bigger map, and more vehicles, but all and all its a good game, and I wont ever forget it. this is probly my second favourite game too so id recomend it. thumbs up!
