Stealing a pedestrian's Car :
"You've got insurance, so don't be a prick."
- Graphics are pretty fucking amazing consider this game is more than 2 decades old. Not only it holds up perfectly but it also creates a great atmosphere since the setting is old as well; plus, it's still better than the remastered version.
-Gameplay is fine. Gunfights are decent considering the date; the driving... Man oh man... I've lost count of how many times I lost in races.
-The story is "GTA" story. You should keep you expectations as low as possible; it's just going to be a revenge story with a different theme. The story is my least favorite one of the series (The ones I've played). But the writing is really good; most of the jokes work really well, not only the ones in the dialogues between the characters but also the radio.
-Music is great. Possibly the best thing in the whole game. Made me go back and check some synth-pop songs and reminisce the time in which I never existed. The radios also have some of the best jokes in the game that would crack yo up while you are running away from certain death.
-The atmosphere is really good; it really catches the 80s vibe.
-This game has some problems that are due to old age but there are also some really good things about it that wasn't used again. For example, when you get "wasted" or "busted" during a mission, most of the times a cap shows up near the hospital/police station to get you back to where you should get the mission; it is a real gift specially in the dead city of Vice City where street are empty (You don't need to get Kaufman Cabs for it but I'm not sure if this things happens from the very beginning).
Overall I think GTA Vice City is a good game; but that's it. For me the music, some jokes, and Ray Liotta were the best thing. Worth playing, but not the greatest GTA, unless you have a lot of old memories of it. Oh BTW, don' forget to get assets from early in the game or you'll have to spend hours by the end of the game gathering money to do so (Last to missions depend on your assets).
