Grand Theft Auto: Vice CityStrengths: Good color and shade of background features. Weakness: The appearance of people is very painful to see. Excellent gameplay and background color. The game is astonishing but the people could be a little bit more realistic. Despite that fact I enjoyed the game. I would highly recommend everyone to purchase this game. 86% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Grand Theft Auto: Vice CityStrengths: Good music (80's fan); great control over vehicles and movement; good graphics & realistic response from interactive environment. Weakness: TAKES TOO LONG TO LOAD; People graphics are not very detailed. Hands, faces, etc. could be more realistic; foul language/sexual inuendo. This is a great game and I have only two (2) serious complaints about it. #1 is the amount of time it takes to load on the PS2. #2 is the foul language and sexual innuendo in the game. I don't believe this type of content enhances game play at all. I would like to be able to play this with my children but I don't want them hearing these things. I realize it is rated -M- but surely the manufacturer knows that children are going to be purchasing and playing this game. Provide an option to make it PG - giving the option of turning off the language, etc. 80% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Grand Theft Auto: Vice CityStrengths: I rented this game, and im telling you within a few more days im buying it!! Cars, bikes, weapons, gangs, girls, soundtrack...the list goes on!!! Everything is great about this game! Weakness: Basicly nothing. A few times it froze, but who cares, (every game has aglitch or 2) This game was awesome! Make this the first game you buy on your ps2! Theirs loads a mission and cool stunts to do on ur bike! Jumps are everywhere, and the ralism of people dieing in quite amazing! The only dumb fact is the ambulance reviving the dead people; 2 seconds late their alive! Also i park my motor bike for one second 2 do something and some little prick stole it!! But other then those, buy this game! 79% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Grand Theft Auto: Vice CityStrengths: Very realistic. Great graphics. Get to choose more then one mission so you won't be board. always something to do even if you just run around the city. Rockstar Games did a fantastic job. Weakness: Have to run all over the city to save after each mission Lots of action. You'll never get board playing. If you like the 80's motif, you'll like this. The music is great. However, I would not recommend this to children, too graphic, too sexually explicit, and too violent. Definitely for more mature game lovers. 75% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

If you don't already own this game there is something wrong with you. This game is the poster child for every violent game out there.

Quoted by: Toni Montana Weakness: Notice some bugs, nothing major. "Like your driving, then water appears, then the road re-appears. Only happened once so far."

Grand Theft Auto: Vice CityStrengths: Great game, incredible story, felt like i was playing scarface. so much extra stuff to do, when you bored you can just go rampage so much fun Weakness: None, i have xbox version!! virtualy no load time :-D PEOPLE!!! if you worried about kids immitating the language/innuendo. then you should be much more worried about kids going out and jacking cars, shooting cops, or having sex with hookers when they are low on health :) The game is not meant for kids. kids should not play it, dont buy it for them. if they are mature enough to play it good for them. but dont complain about language/ or sexual "innuendo" when there is murder, stealing, drugs, etc etc 56% of readers found this review helpful.

Weakness: language...sexual references My grandson is 13 years old and loves grand theft auto he has played it with friends I have a problem with the game and will not allow him to buy it because of the language and sexual references in it...I wish you could come up with a fun game that left out some of these offenses!

Grand Theft Auto: Vice CityStrengths: The weapons and extra fun things to do are sweet and graphics are awesome.Great plot in the 80's with a drop dead soundtrack.A fun and addictive(good addiction)game overall. Weakness: Just a few little things like having to do a mission against a few dozen hitman with sub-machine guns.It is hard in some parts but you'll be too addicted to stop and quit.If you have cheats its easy. It is a good,no great game all around with very little weaknesses.A very good plot and soundtrack and graphics.Very good gameplay.Great game!Tons of fun missions and extra things to do like sell some drugs from a ice cream truck or blowing up or foe in the taxi business's cars. Many new cars,helicopters,seaplanes,mopeads,dirtbikes,motorbikes,army helicopters,and boats.Have fun driving around town,catching some waves,flying from island to island,felling the great Florida wind in your hair,drive to your mansion, or just walk around and beat up people for money. 50% of readers found this review helpful.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice CityStrengths: Fun game, good music, improved over original Weakness: Doesn't max out graphics, although good. Very good game, adds 80's theme and many funny style aspects to original. They got rid of the trippy graphics effect, even though now I've got a card that could support it. Cars also disappear if you turn your back on them, but overall it's more fun. Improved water, boat, helicopter, and plane usage. Good plot.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice CityStrengths: lot more to do Weakness: not many The game is exiting I cannot wait to play it everyday! The gameplays cool and the 80s are just the way I thought they would be! No military or fbi this time though only cops ambulance and fire. you only get the flamethrower, pistol, and shotgun which is kind of lame. the helicopter police are very aggressive compared. Motorcycling is sweet also. the graphics are the same as gta3 though/no improvement there. the cops did not change as far as acting they still smash into everything and only come after you. they seem to get into more head on collisions too. there are jumps and stuff out in the water too so have a hoe down with the boats im not telling you anymore just play it for yourself when it is sold to the states. 50% of readers found this review helpful.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice CityStrengths: EVERYTHING! This game rules, I gave found very few flaws. The weapons are cool the targeting system is great and the cheats are easy to memorize. I would easly pay $70 for this game, if i had it! Weakness: The only two weaknesses are: A:Ditching, sometimes it just doesn't let you, and the graphic is kida off. and B: When people give you weapons, it forces you to take them, even if you have better ones. This game is the best for people who either hate cops, or just like to kill people and blow sh*t up. While the missions are somewhat easy, they are fun, and Tommy has some of the best one-liners. Like when you do the mission, "Four Iron", for Avery, when he steps out of Jock Shop...."Is this me?" "Nice as$ baby!" I laughed really hard when i first heard that. Diaz is a laugh riot, too. "What do you think your doing!?" The whole game could keep me occupied for months on end. Great Buy! 40% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Grand Theft Auto: Vice CityStrengths: The whole game is great. I got it the day it came out and I've been glued to it ever since, even after I beat 89% of the game. Weakness: Nothing except for when you have felony, the police ram you. I think you should be able to pull over and pay $200 instead of the police "busting" you and you have to pay $1000. All in all, the game is great. The missions are really fun and most are challenging. There are a ton of vehicles, such as tanks, army trucks, FBI vehicles, and extremely fast sports cars. I would definetly recomend it to people who like fast pace action games and/or shooting games. BUY IT!!! 17% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

The graphics are basically the same as GTA3. You also can get more weapons like gas chain saw screwdriver etc... There is more jumps out on the water and they also have side missions like deliever pizza and things like that.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (ps2)
I've been reminiscing about the past recently. Last year's onslaught of AAA games had us staggering with delight -- and exhaustion -- when the year finally came to a close. In comparison, this year’s lineup of games, well, it initially looked stunning, before the delays, anyway. But now it's clear what 2002 is all about.

Vice City
Strengths: it's a very fun free roaming game, with good game play, not complacated
Weakness: it sometimes gets a lil' glitchy but rarely, ok graphics,
this is game where you can choose what to do with complete freedom(which i LOVE about it)you follow the storyline or just run around and have fun killin' stealin' and drivin' around Vice City,Flordia,the story will remind you of scarface.
overall i love this game,because of the fact of its freedom you can play it over and over again.
