Soldier of Fortune got a reputation for blood-squirting gore, and Vice City follows suit. There’s so much gratuitous violence that even my girlfriend can see the funny side. A small point and something you do get used to once you learn the quirks of the game.īut this game wouldn’t be one of the fastest selling titles ever without that all important ingredient: violence. You then find yourself running away in the wrong direction and such like. It can sometimes become confusing when you turn Tommy round, and the camera stays in the same place. Yes, you can change the view slightly, in the age-old style of driving games, but not to a great extent. The camera does a fairly good job of showing you the view you want to see. It is more first-person shooter in perspective. The perspective takes advantage of the use of 3D, rather than the top down view. GTA: Vice City brings back all the elements we loved in the original. It may be from stealing cars, robbing people in the street, or more likely, accepting jobs from various daddies around Vice City: you do the job, they line your pockets, simple. Your aim, basically, is to make as much money as possible by whatever means. A gun-toting hardman, with a penchant for crime, from the petty to the more serious. Grand Theft Auto is about a dude, Tommy Vercetti, you. So what’s the game about? For those living on the moon for the past 5 years, read on, for everyone else, skip to the next paragraph. Games like GTA: Vice City prove this time and again, and console exclusivity tends to hammer the point home. PlayStation 2, despite having the worst geeky stats in the console market, still remains the most popular. The PlayStation 2 strides forward in the console market, proving once again, why it sells like hot cakes. For Vice City, the console really reigns supreme. The PlayStation version of the original was so-so, but the PC version was excellent to the extent where is really absorbed all your daylight hours and most of the night. There has been something of a running conflict in platform for GTA. GTA deserves its cult crown: Vice City is simply superb. After various sequels, which added a little, but not a lot, Vice City really takes the torch and runs a long way with it.


Back in the day with the top down view, stealing stupidly fast cars to run over people on the pavement, whilst making a few bucks and failing the missions.

(Pocket-lint) - We all knew that GTA was a good game.
