Reviews around price (3.86 of 5)

  • So fast forward I found it here on amazon for a great price and bought it for him
  • Very happy with purchase, price was good shipping fast!
  • Some of them border on insanely frustrating (the R/C Chopper ones especially, and the very last one
  • It's certainly easy to find now at a great price, and I recommend it

Reviews around music (3.82 of 5)

  • With stations such as VRock, Fever 105, and Flash, there will be a style of music which will please every gamer, whether it be R'N'B/soul, electropop from the 80's, or sweaty/rock music!The cars in Vice City are fabulous
  • Well, the music is certainly different, but I didn't like it at all
  • The difficulty is perfect, the graphics are amazing, the stroryline is great, the cars are great, the music sucks (no one's really listening tough!!!
  • tons of fun to play lots of great music on the radio stations and has a good story mode
  • It's just a great game, and the music only makes it better.

Reviews around gta (3.70 of 5)

  • I don't understand how anyone can think this game EVER gets boring (as I've read in many reviews).
  • if you can, it is a great game, but if you played and loved GTA 3, you might be dissapointed.
  • I think people who have tried Grand theft auto 3 will be overwhelmed as they see masses of emprovment layed out for our enjoyment.
  • Now I'm not saying that GTA VC is terrible, but it really does lack in many areas
  • After all, my poor GTA III didn't have motorcycles, I still love it though :)

Reviews around soundtrack (3.52 of 5)

  • My personal favorite in the series; Just the right length, the right location, the right era with that Scarface/Miami Vice feel, the blaring 80's soundtrack
  • Vice City has, without a doubt, the best soundtrack to date in the series
  • The soundtrack, though cheesy, makes a great way of making you feel you are in the 1980s, with the most memorable in rock, rap, new wave, and pop from the area
  • I don't understand how anyone can think this game EVER gets boring (as I've read in many reviews).
  • Vice City" is a digital sandbox in pastels with an top shelf '80s soundtrack

Reviews around graphic (3.48 of 5)

  • if the game had a casino it would be da bomb the graphics are good there is a lot to explore and the characters are
  • the controls are horrible (especially the first person targeting), ugly graphics, missions are stupidly difficult (could be ok if not for the frustrating controls), and some of them have insane time limit
  • The game is larger than its predecessor and the graphics are improved but not ground breaking
  • ok, the graphics are great and the songs are just as good
  • The other thing that drags the game down is the poor graphics for the time.

Reviews around vice city (3.41 of 5)

  • But, as good as GTA 3 is, Vice City blows it away in every way possible
  • Vice City is the perfect parody of 1980s Miami and the missions seem to be pretty reflective
  • I think Vice City is a little bit easier than III, but it's still a challenge.
  • If Vice City wasn't enough of a challenge get the new Grand Theft Auto San
  • Vice City has many missions to do and hotels and mansions to buy if that?s not enough.

Reviews around mission (2.78 of 5)

  • The story is improved and the missions are better than before
  • Based on the storyline, it's already been done and the missions are so unrealistic
  • you can do missions on like asasanations and street races
  • The loading is slow in the beggining, the missions are ridiculosly hard
  • The missions get tough and there are more places you can enter for fun

Reviews around thing (2.76 of 5)

  • The only minorly bad things are repetitive pedestrian voice overs, and a useless glare on cars
  • GTA Vice city is one of the best games ive ever played, but there are also bad things about this game
  • The only thing good about the game is it came with a case and a manual and of course the game
  • My favorite thing about the game is the amount of buildings you can enter
  • The bad things about this game is that a helicopter can only fly like half way up a certain building, or that small plane, the skimmer: it is suppose to fly way higher than the tallest building in vice city
  • Read remaining 69 reviews for thing

Reviews around stuff (2.03 of 5)

  • Other stuff: Not to mention helicopters (a perfect match for the series), more lazy, bumbling cops, more radio (the soundtrack alone is a big achievement, including dozens of licensed 80s classics).Complaints?
  • Still, you can waste countless hours just killing and blowing up stuff for hours
  • it has a lot of foul language and you can do a lot of bad stuff
  • Kids now a days do some sick and twisted stuff, like go on killing sprees at school.
  • This game is a lot of fun and has a ton of available stuff to do.

Reviews around control (2.02 of 5)

  • I think that the controls when shooting or punching were pretty bad, but I still have fun for a while.
  • In a melee situation, you don't have good control of your character
  • On the downside, the radio stations in Liberty City were great satire and music, in Vice City, they're annoyingly silly with bad music; the side missions are too difficult, especially since the cops are so easily offended, and the controls seem harder to use (maybe just me and my computer).If repeating the same mission over and over and over and over trying to be a-b-s-o-l-u-t-e-l-y perfect just to get that last checkpoint is fun for you, then go for it.
  • The controls (especially while driving) are still unresponsive and difficult.
  • the controls are horrible (especially the first person targeting), ugly graphics, missions are stupidly difficult (could be ok if not for the frustrating controls), and some of them have insane time limit

Reviews around havoc (1.95 of 5)

  • but it still worked :•O
  • it's basically about a criminal who wreaks havoc around its surroundings
  • All I can tell you about this game is you can either drive around and go sight-seeing and wreck totally violent havoc, or you can do the missions and beat the game
  • He doesn't walk or run as smooth and fast as he should be.2
  • This is where the game shines as if you had doubts

Reviews around gang (1.95 of 5)

  • GTA3-VC is based around missions for gang leaders and thugs that you complete and earn money.
  • While making a deal, our sort of hero(who actually has a name this time: Tommy Vercetti), rival gang members shoot everyone but him and take off with the money and a large supply of cocaine
  • Along with the usual array of rich people, gangs, and prostiutes, you also have Cubans, Haitans, Bums, businessman, and being in Miami, you also have girls upon girls in bikinis
  • Said name is accomplished, on the whole, by doing very bad things, such as stealing cars, knocking off banks, waxing rival gang members and generally giving 'the man' a hard time
  • He doesn't walk or run as smooth and fast as he should be.2

Reviews around violence (1.76 of 5)

  • I really see no reason why people are so predjudiced against this game and its predecesor about strippers and the foul violence
  • but it still worked :•O
  • The reason it was rated this was, Because of the strong Blood & Gore, Violence, Strong language, and Strong sexual content.
  • Another great feature which you can work on when you're bored of the missions and just looking for senseless violence, is to see just how much mischief you can cause before the cops or army kill or capture you and work on that criminal rating and publicity level
  • Excessive violence, sexual innuendo, use of drugs, gore, limbs coming off and much more questionable content

Reviews around parent (1.61 of 5)

  • If kids get sick ideas from this, then they are easily manipulated, the company should not be sued, the parents of the person who acted out on this should.
  • I hate all parents that say that this game is too bad for the kids
  • Chill out parents, eat some fiber, everything will be OK.
  • This is where the game shines as if you had doubts
  • Your being good parents to be protective,but its ok,I sware

Reviews around people (1.48 of 5)

  • Yeah, I guess its kinda fun killing people, but after exactly 8.92 seconds, it got boring
  • It is surprisingly fun doing hitman missions for rich people in Vice CIty
  • If more people played games like Super Mario Brothers and Myst and other fun "E" Rated games, there probably wouldn't be all this children violence.
  • Like every worried mother out there, the whole concept of the game is to go around killing people
  • Jack cars, kill people, blow up police, be a pizza boy, ambulance, EVERYTHING

Reviews around miami vice (1.41 of 5)

  • I don't understand how anyone can think this game EVER gets boring (as I've read in many reviews).
  • This is where the game shines as if you had doubts
  • The setting and story lines are right out of Miami Vice, but from the bad guys point of view
  • parts ScarfaceMarinade in Miami Vice for 15 yearsServe hot, wet and
  • The game evokes the great spirits of many mob and crime shows - Miami Vice (to top it all off, Phillip Michael Thomas is your shady sidekick), Goodfellas (one of the true treats of the game - Ray Liotta plays the voice of your character, Tommy), Scarface, to name a few

Reviews around guy (1.38 of 5)

  • Thank u!
  • Target system is still annoying(A guy with a gun is aiming at you, why you aiming at the woman across the road?) and some missions will annoy the [stuffing] out of you
  • Have a good time while pretending to be a bad guy who does unforgivable acts.
  • Now based on my reviews, you will read that I hated the movie Scarface, on which this game is based on, well the reason I lovethis game is for it is a video game, video games are not meant to have a plot, they are just known for to playing and have thegood guy survive from the bad guys
  • And if you do not want to just walk the streets or raise hell then you can actually play the story about Sonny Forelli, a small time gangster who must go on various missions so that he can get rich, buy lots of mansions, kill the bad guys, own really fast cars and get the girl in the end

More about Grand Theft Auto Vice City

  • Platform:PlayStation 2 Product Description Following the success of Grand Theft Auto, developer Rockstar North takes gamers on a tour of a new city in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
  • With new sights, new characters, new (ahem) business opportunities, and even a whole new '80s themed era, players can indulge in more criminal fun than ever before
  • Vice City features more expansive locations, and over 120 vehicles ripe for the picking such as exotic cars, motorcycles, luxury yachts and planes
  • The soundtrack boasts three times the tunes compared to the previous GTA, and features countless '80s hits
  • Over 40 different weapons ensure effective firepower and provide enough variety for stylish defensive measures (samurai sword anyone?). Amazon.com How big is this game? Even publicists for other games end up talking about Vice City when they call our office, babbling in the same helplessly intoxicated way that afflicts everyone who plays it
  • The achievement of Vice City (which, as everyone knows by now, is set in the 1980s and offers an all-new, Miami Vice-inspired story) is not only that it manages to live up to an absurd level of expectation, but that it takes the game places that fans of its predecessor Grand Theft Auto 3 never dreamed of, and that it achieves this astonishing level of innovation without losing anything that made GTA3 the bestselling PS2 game of all time
  • After a brilliant homage to the era of the Commodore 64 in the opening credits, the first thing you'll notice is the improved graphics, which are smoother and more detailed, and--with effects like neon lights reflected on rain-slick streets, and intense Florida sunlight--have a lush, tropical look that immediately gives you a strong sense of place
  • The architecture is more fabulous by tenfold, with art deco buildings, high-rise hotels, and believably seedy back alleys
  • The control scheme is essentially the same as in GTA3, but the cars handle much better, and in pedestrian mode there is a new crouch move
  • You will have access to fast, great-handling cars right away, as opposed to GTA3 which made you unlock the second island before you could get your hands on any respectable wheels
  • This game has such riches to offer that there is no need to be chintzy with the vehicles
  • Cops are more vigilant this time--minor offenses like whacking innocent bystanders will more often than not get you a two-star wanted level--and are harder to elude (though they still can't seem to climb stairs or negotiate sharp turns)
  • So while free-roaming exploration is as fun as ever, there is more incentive to perform the missions instead of randomly raising hell
  • Not that that's a bad thing: even lazy criminals like myself (in GTA3, I would rather toss hand grenades into traffic than follow orders from some rude Mafia boss) will be quickly caught up in the vivid characters and hilarious, fascinating story, in which you play an acid-washed-jeans-wearing thug named Tommy Vercetti
  • Where in GTA3 missions were blocky, schematic affairs only nominally connected to the story, this time tasks move the story briskly along and deftly blend cinematics and game action
  • For example, there is a scene of a character throwing Tommy a gun, at which point you are suddenly thrown back into the action and must make an instant decision about whom to trust and what to do
  • There are more, and more detailed, indoor environments, including a hotel, police station, and mall (a slight downside to this is that some of the more elaborate indoor environments require load times)
  • The layout of the city, with tons of backyards, narrow alleys, and fire escapes, encourages creativity when eluding pursuit, as does greater access to rooftops
  • Get your motorcycle up the fire escape and a whole new world of action is possible, including..
  • well, use your imagination
  • This overview barely scratches the surface of the Vice City experience, its colorful explosion of music, clothes, combat, and brilliant voice acting, not to mention the plot twist midway through the game that changes the very nature of the game itself
  • Though it was the outrageous, amoral violence that got all the press, the essential genius of GTA3 was its intoxicating blend of script and open-ended action
  • In Vice City this is--to use a cliché that is for once apropos--taken to a whole new level
  • --David Stoesz Pros: Astonishing, innovative gameplay Godlike attention to detail Opportunity to drive on the beach at midnight listening to the Human League's "Fascination" Con: More load times See all Product description
