Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Critic Reviews

No excuses, you’re gonna have to buy this. Unless you don’t own a PS2, in which case, get out of our Internet!

One immaculate game. Granted the graphics can be blurry and the missions too frustrating at times - but this is still what consoles were invented for.

As big as "GTA3" is, Vice City dwarfs it in almost every way. (Greg) ... The graphical improvements are subtle but effective. (Che) ... An instant classic. (Milkman)

The best action title on PS2.

A worthy sequel to a great game! As close to perfection as I can possibly think of!

The gameplay in Vice City is more addictive than ever, except now there's twice as much of nearly everything that made the first game so great—more streets, more cars (and other vehicles), more cool missions, more awesome street life.

The game will twist and turn, surprise and captivate, and surpass any expectations you might have conjured up...The PS2's defining title.

The one thing most critics don't seem to get, is that this game isn't loved because of it's violence...What makes this game so popular and loved among gamers is it's freedom.

You simply must find a way to play it.

They've managed to improve the game without changing its heart, and provided their millions of fans with a fantastic new experience. GTA: Vice City is a must buy for any adult PS2 owner with a pulse.

Follow-ups that come this quickly are not supposed to be this rewarding, which makes Vice City a remarkable achievement at a time when companies are all too willing to release so-called sequels with only a few tweaks and cosmetic changes.

There's something indescribably cool about cruising Vice City's beach strip while rocking to "Billie Jean."

Helicopters make traversing the 13-section city a breeze, and there is a superb collection of motorcycles for Vercetti to fire an Uzi from.

You’ll be sold the second you get into a gang bang with the song “Beat It” playing in the background. It just doesn’t get any better than that.

Vice City doesn't just match the magic of "GTA III"; it bests it in every way possible.

The depth of this game is unparalleled; there are hordes of side quests and missions and cool little easter eggs. You need to follow the main story in order to open up the whole city and gain access to property acquisition, but you can still spend hours just wandering around getting into trouble.

The massive amount of new features sets this game miles apart from "GTA: 3" - everything from interior locations, the combat, the graphics to the car handling has been improved, making this into a totally brilliant game.

The missions are a lot more complex then they were in GTA3, which means you will get more into the character as well as the plot, which means even more fun.

You can literally do anything you imagine. You can kill police officers, civilians; pick up hookers, etc with more than forty weapons at your disposal you will be frothing at the mouth. This game truly is a winner in the gameplay department.

Manages to meld a great story, serious action, and limitless gameplay to produce one of the best games of all time.
