Literally my favorite GTA game. I played them all as a kid I was 12 and Vice City came out. Of course GTA III change the whole world but Vice City was just that much better

[pnastysavage]

Vice city is still the most memorable of the 3. The setting the music, the humor, the color pallett and the varitey !

Every time I want a summer atmosphere I play GTA VIce City. Great video!

One of the best things Vice City added was the ability to exit moving vehicles which is very useful if the vehicle you're driving is about to explode on you as stopping to get out just takes too much time and can easily result in your own death especially if the vehicle drives at a high speed which takes it longer to stop

When rockstar actually made good games and didn’t rely on Microtransactions

Ah, my favorite. Best soundtrack by far but SA comes damn close, my personal favorite protagonist and great voice work by Ray Liotta. The funniest game too in my opinion, I always crack up during the final Kaufman Cabs mission. Beautiful world set in my favorite aesthetic, 80s Miami drug fueled action with fast cars, neon lights, and awesome sounding machine guns ripping down crowds of gangsters. The finale mission being straight out of Scarface was icing on the cake. Spawned the better of the two stories games in my opinion as well. Perfect 10/10! My only critique is that it made GTA 3 bad to me just cause of him much better it was in every way that I never wanted to go back.

It's always been a dream of mine to play Vice City with all the cut content fully implemented. From pastor Richard's to the extra missions from Avery, Gator keys, you name it.

I know games took far less time to make in those days, but it's still remarkable that Rockstar were able to create and release Vice City in just 12 months. It's a masterpiece.

Ill break it down.

1. The plot of the story, the people you meet along the way. Your Rosenbergs, Kent Pauls and that bastard Lance Vance. They all fit the story and the era of the times so well. The revenge feel to it and as it states from the glits to the glamour to the swamps and the ghetto, had that little bit of everything. The actors who play them are top notch. If it was a movie script and you saw the names, youd be imterested. Liotta, Guzman, Hopper, Fischer and even Danny Dyer…Hell even Jenna Jamison.

2. Tommy Vercetti. Cold blooded, ruthless and business means business but he has that little just ever so little bit of softness you welcome here and there, he looks after those who look after him, sometimes its his down fall but hes a bad ass motherfucker to deal with it none the less. Ray Liotta fit it perfect, his second greatest role from Goodfellas.

3. The perfect catching of the era that is the 80’s in Miami, the sun light effect to the darkened swampy rain, it really feels like you are in that timeline in that place. The graphics as bad as they are really bring onto that gritty type underworld theme, all the while cruising around listening to some classic 80’s music. It has everything that fits the 80’s miami. Money, Drugs and power, revenge and retribution. A story that is always exciting.

4. It reminds me of a time when the world wasnt so advanced but you got a clue on what was coming. GTA 3 set alot of highs but Vice City topped it by a long shot, and it seemed unreal to how it did in that short period of time they both got released. You knew the next one was going to be even better, which is was to most but to me not even close because Carl Johnsons story was far fetched, cliche and over bearing. You someone how go from looking for revenge for your “moms” to working with people that didnt fit his story, he had no business dealing with. Fuck that zero mission, and fuck following the dam tracks. Because it was a story i always wanted to rush through. Vice city i loved watching pan out. Whats gonna happen next. He had no personality, he said everything youd expect a gangbanger to say. While i enjoyed the game play. Urban early 90’s LA hasnt a scratch on early 80’s miami.

Vice City forever.

whats always annoyed me is the inability to swim in vice city, the game is a beach themed game and yet you cant swim. rockstar's excuse for not being able to swim is "graphical limitations" but san andreas and vice city are both on the same console and same type of engine. its also possible to swim in vice city with simple modifications on pc so i dont get why it was so hard for them to put in swimming as a feature. i know there is also the fact that it would ruin the concept of unlocking the other islands but then they could have made it so you can swim only after you complete a certain percentage or make it to a specific point in the game. vice city is a master piece and if it wasnt rushed i bet it would be possibly even more loved then san andreas, (not that san andreas wasnt a good game, it was amazing but vice city feels more special)

Edit: Vice city Stories WAS NOT made on the same engine as San Andreas, vice city was. I learned that a while ago but came across my comment again.

I vividly remember this Christmas gift. I was 12 and BEGGING to open a present early while tons of family was over partying. I grabbed the gift that was clearly a game, opened it, and it was Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance. I was stoked. I opened it immediately AND THERE WAS NO DISC!!! It was still relatively early so my dad ran to Walmart to see if he can get an exchange. It was closed however the manager was still closing up and let him exchange the game. Unfortunately MK was sold out so I asked for Vice City and it was there.

I remember hearing the manager ask, ”how old is your son” I didn’t hesitate “dad there’s prostitutes, drugs, killing and all sorts of stuff I know not to do, it’s no big deal” he came home with that game and the rest is history! Ended up being one of my all time favorite games and gave me a great taste in music!

The thing with vc is that exudes perdonality, and the story and cast are so memorable.

[alexvercetti]

VC is my all time FAVORITE GTA! Tommy rules!! His monologues are the BEST!! Love when he says "I need the money", or "Sorry but i need that!", etc..TOMMY IS THE BEST!!

[LukaRay]

Great video! I've got so much nostalgia from playing Vice City since I was 6 years old. This will always be my favorite game ever made!

[Kaisaccountt]

One of my favorite games ever. Something about the feeling and vibe is something I’ll never experience again in gaming.

[senormarston]

Since the day I played Vice City back in the early 2000's, it has become my favorite GTA. It has a special appeal for me

[xxwarpigspartan]

[aleksandartodic]

[CowboyTanaka]

Dude thats badass i didn't know ray liota played tommy

[joey]

A feature which often goes unnoticed: Shooting in VC is far more satisfying than in SA
