About Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

Welcome to Vice City. Welcome to the 1980s. From the decade of big hair, excess and pastel suits comes a story of one man's rise to the top of the criminal pile. Vice City, a huge urban sprawl ranging from the beach to the swamps and the glitz to the ghetto, was one of the most varied, complete and alive digital cities ever created. Combining open-world gameplay with a character driven narrative, you arrive in a town brimming with delights and degradation and given the opportunity to take it over as you choose. Having just made it back onto the streets of Liberty City after a long stretch in maximum security, Tommy Vercetti is sent to Vice City by his old boss, Sonny Forelli. They were understandably nervous about his re-appearance in Liberty City, so a trip down south seemed like a good idea. But all does not go smoothly upon his arrival in the glamorous, hedonistic metropolis of Vice City. He's set up and is left with no money and no merchandise. Sonny wants his money back, but the biker gangs, Cuban gangsters, and corrupt politicians stand in his way. Most of Vice City seems to want Tommy dead. His only answer is to fight back and take over the city himself.

Not the game for me

Sad to say that an amazing game running on a literal steam (ironic) powered PC 20 years ago was smooth, crash free and 100% playable, our only worry was choosing a suitable cruising track... fast forward to 2026 with our super computers and this game is stuttery, janky, crashing and a bit broken. I know R* is a struggling indie developer but maybe a couple of million from petty cash could address these minor issues.

Easy recommendation

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is an absolute classic that delivers an unforgettable open-world experience inspired by the style and atmosphere of the 1980s. The vibrant city, neon lights, incredible soundtrack, and iconic vehicles create a world that is genuinely fun to explore. The story is engaging, the characters are memorable, and the missions offer a great mix of action, driving, and chaos. One of my favorite things about the game is the freedom to explore Vice City at your own pace, whether you're completing missions, cruising around the streets, or simply causing mayhem. Even years after its release, Vice City remains a legendary entry in the Grand Theft Auto series and a must-play for anyone who enjoys open-world games. Highly recommended!
