The player controls Tommy and complete missions throughout the game. Some time many missions active at the same time. Few missions require the player to wait for some events or further instructions.
Vice City is composed of two main islands and some smaller areas. Islands are locked before the player progresses the story. One of the show's rules was no bricks, no reds and no browns', an edict ignored by game designers ever since.
But with sunshine, drugs and alligators called Elvis in the mix, it seems like the perfect show to build a game around, and who better to do so than Rockstar Games? For the past six months they've been doing their research into the misguided glitz and glamour of the era even going so far as to contact fan site miamivice.
Your boss, Sonny Forelli, thinks it's best if you take a vacation and ships you down to Vice City, which Rockstar promises is going to be two and a half times bigger than Liberty City with three times as many pedestrians, inhabitable interiors such as shopping malls and nightclubs, and more than vehicles compared to the 40 you could jack in GTA III , with the introduction of motorbikes and roller-blading chicks. It might sound like a party but unfortunately it turns out to be a set-up, leaving you homeless and penniless, and you'll have to take on three times as many missions as you had to complete to get to the top of Liberty City.
Luckily in-car entertainment is a big part of the game again, with around 10 hours of radio chat and music. You can expect to hear up to 90 licensed tracks from the '80s, along with new spiel from the DJ chat kings, which is as good a reason to buy Wee City as the game itself. If you didn't play the last game there are a few of you out there, apparently you'll have to take our word for it that the radio talk shows are genuinely hilarious and actually prompted us to drive into a quiet lay-by just to have a listen.
When was the last time a game made you laugh for the right reasons? Of course the real question is when is the damn thing going to be released? Due to ship on PS2 in November, we're convinced we're not going to have to put up with the same sort of wait we had to endure for GTA3. Mr Mister's rock anthem Broken Wings is currently playing on an eternal loop inside my brain as I write this review.
That's the effect that Rockstar's awesome rated crim-sim has when you play it -total immersion in a believable city, set to a soundtrack of the best s chart hits and cult classics. Put simply, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is one of the greatest videogames ever made, and now in another celebration of that decade of excess, us lucky PC gamers can play the definitive inch remix version.
Vice City basically takes what was so good about last year's action blockbuster GTA III and improves it even more, doubling the size of the Liberty Citi playing area, introducing fantastic new vehicles handle differently, offering greater variety of missions an allowing you to buy and enter property and businesses. Carjacking - dragging innocent people out of their vehicle and stealing it - was always the backbone of the series and now in addition to the new types of cars, tanks, buses, trucks, boats and planes, budding thieves can also take control of helicopters and motorbikes.
Helicopters are opened up to you after completing certain missions and are a real treat, allowing you to take off from your private helipad on the roof of your newly-acquired mansion and enjoy spectacular views of Vice City from the air. However, it's more fun of course, to cause absolute mayhem, so we can highly recommend smashing them into random vehicles or landing them clumsily in the middle of crowded shopping centres, and watch as the fast-moving blades chop innocent shoppers into human pate.
Yep, the handling of all the vehicles is superb, but special mention has to be made of the new motorbikes and scooters, which feel just perfect when you're screeching around corners and zig-zagging between other road users at frightening speed. You can cleverly move Tommy's bodyweight on any twowheeler, so leaning back while accelerating pulls wheelies and tipping forward stands him up, plus you can also carry a weapon and shoot at people around you as well as carry passengers on the back during jobs - very cool.
However, you now have to be wary of hitting anything, as you can be thrown violently off the bike and into the air, causing health damage when you and your passenger tumble along the tarmac and smack into buildings and vehicles. As with GTA III, the way you earn more cash to buy ever more exotic and lethal weaponry - and now in Vice City, businesses and property - is to complete missions for various clients.
Missions are triggered by looking at your map in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen, deciding which person you wish to work for and searching them out - a shimmering pinkish glow on - screen at a location signifying a cut-scene and a commission for a job. Missions begin with basic hoodlum stuff, such as roughing up jury members, but eventually lead onto jobs that include tricky multiple tasks such as luring policemen into a garage, stealing their clothes and infiltrating a gangland raid to set off explosives.
Along the way you'll meet dodgy characters like property magnate Avery Carrington, playboy and smuggler Colonel Juan Cortez, a Scottish rock group called Love Fist and dirty movie producer Steve Scott. Each of the missions demonstrates Wee City's great imagination and creativity when it comes to game design, meaning you really don't know what type of fun you'll be having next. Highlights include a 'Nam-styie first-person helicopter raid on an enemy's house, a radio-controlled plane bombing run on some drug dealer's boats, a manic chase around a golf course on golf carts and a Hell's Angel-style motorbike race.
After completing a successful mission you're rewarded with an immensely satisfying music sting and a lump of cash to stick under your mattress. As you increase your money stack, you can eventually start buying up property in Vice City for your own crooked little empire, investing in bigger and more extravagant bachelor pads, and businesses such as the strip joint Pole Position. Some properties - such as the Cherry Popper Ice Cream Company - end up being a front for a drugs business, where you can earn dosh by selling your special 99s to the public or by dropping by and collecting profits from the premises every few days.
Other businesses, such as InterGlobal Films, unlock new missions and ways to increase your grip on the town - and include people such as "movie actress" Candy Suxxx, played in the game by real-life porn lady Jenna Jameson. And that's not all. Tommy can also enjoy the myriad of other side-missions and objectives in Vice City, including pizza delivery boy, taxi driver, ambulance driver, fireman and vigilante.
To help achieve all these objectives, Vice City is packing more heat than ever, with a host of weaponry organised into categories, so you can only carry one of each type in your total cache of nine. New weapons include the horrible chainsaw that rips through people splashing the screen with blood, and a samurai sword that can lop heads off with one sharp swish.
You can again fire certain guns from vehicles including bikes for drive-by shootings, but in addition you can also now tactically hit targets through car windows and blast tyres sending vehicles careering out of control - a technique that's used in the game by police with "stingers".
The GTA police force certainly hasn't mellowed since the last game - in fact, you have to be more vigilant of your "Wanted" rating, signified again by six stars in the top-right of the screen. As you commit crimes, the more stars you light up, the more aggressive the law enforcement officers will become. Get to three stars and they send the police helicopter after you - six stars, and the army will pay a visit in a tank.
As in GTA III, if you get busted, you're taken to the nearest police station and have all your weapons confiscated, before your dodgy lawyer has time to spring you from jail. Avoiding the authorities is almost a mini-game in itself. If you are frustrated and can't complete a mission, why not go on a good old-fashioned killing spree around the city for fun? Steal a motorbike, drive it into a crowd of people and smash it up. Buy an Uzi and start indiscriminately spraying the neighbourhoods with bullets, before stealing an ambulance when it arrives and squishing as many innocent roller-skaters as you can.
Vice City is literally bursting with laugh-out-loud surprises and genuine great gaming moments. Where can I get that? Very good game for low end PCs :D. Fortnite Apex Legends. Creative Destruction 3. You must complete. The eleventh title in the GTA series, Grand Theft Auto IV maintains the classic gameplay of shooting enemies, stealing cars, and exploring the open world.
