Being a tween,teen,and young adult during the 1980s made this my favorite in the series,the dated graphics are fine,because the soundtracks,and celebrity character voice talents(Ray Liotta is Tommy-your avatar) more than makeup for it.The game controls are tight,the action is good,If you longed to be the antagonist in an episode of Miami Vice,remember all the greed, and excess of the 1980's.I highly recommend this game to you.

its the best action miami type game have it scince 2003
I grabbed this title about 4-5 weeks ago at one of my local Gamestop's, sure glad I did, talk about "tons of fun"! This game is real special to me, being born in 1970 and my awareness and preference in music not coming on-line until around the early 1980's, the tunes in this game sooth my soul. Like the band Mister Mister singing "Take These Broken Wings", just makes me feel like I'm back in 1983 to 1984 and its my freshmen year in high school, the soundtrack takes me back. Plus the game for me touches a soft spot in another area. This game depicts the city of Miami, well in the 1980's, from 1984 to 1989 NBC had a hit show called "Miami Vice", this game touches the love I had for that show. I love stealing a nice white Ferrari Tessterosa and driving the streets and getting what it might have felt like for Miami Vice's lead character "Sonny Crocket", played by actor Don Johnson!
The game is a real treat to play, the controls aren't that hard to learn and the graphics are very decent for it being a Sony Playstation 2 system, very decent indeed. So if you kind of define who you are by things back in the 1980's, the music, the scene, the people and cars, you will love this game!

GTA : Vice City is definitely an original . It has a great storyline and some of the characters come up in some of the games that follow this one . It's better to play this GTA before playing any other.

I just ordered this game on Sunday, and got it today. I put it in my console, and got the DRE message. My other GTA game works perfectly in my PS2, and my PS2 works perfectly fine. I guess you always get at least one bad disk in a stack of them.
