The jump from GTA 3 to this game is genuinely insane. Vice City improves on almost every single aspect of gta 3 and is probably my favorite game in the original trilogy. Tommy Vercetti is a great protagonist and Vice City is definitely the world that I was invested in the most compared to SA and especially 3. While it does have its flaws, as finishing the game requires you to max out most businesses in the game which if you don't know how to make money efficiently doing so can be a tedious grind, and the steam port was so bad I had to download the mod Silent Patch just to be able to play the game, the story of this game along with the great cast of characters is what makes it one of my favorite GTA games, and would highly recommend playing it if you can find a means to.
