Let
me start off by saying that this game is simply amazing.
You think GTA3 was big? Pop Vice City into your PS2 and
you'll find and even better and bigger city to explore with
action packed missions to complete.
The
city is filled with so many alleys, back roads, and other
interesting locations that exploring is fun by itself. You
are able to use many methods of transportation. Feel like
piloting a helicopter? Go right ahead. Or hop into one of
Vice City's wide variety of cars. All in all there are 120
usuable vehicles in the game. And along with that, you have
30 weapons to choose from. Sounds good huh?
A
new, creative storyline puts you in the head of Tommy Vercetti,
a ruthless criminal that has a passion for money, power,
and women. You move to Vice City to expand the family business
and run your own drug empire. The missions in this sequel
have been improved as well. No mission is alike, and there's
always something new to accomplish.
I
found the radio stations to be the most interesting aspect
of the game. Over 80 songs in all. My favorite station is
K-Chat where you can listen to hilarious call-in's while
cruising around. There are 9 stations in all which leaves
plenty to be heard.
Vice
City also allows you to buy property provided you have the
cash. Investing in property is a great way to earn money.
A lot of the buildings are open for exploring such as nightclubs,
malls, etc. Jacking a new car displayed in the mall and
running over all the shoppers is my personal hobby.
Overall
this game is almost flawless. One gripe I have is the auto
targeting feature. It makes it tough when you are surrounded.
And the first person aiming is a little touchy in my opinion.
But these minor details can be easily overlooked.
Vice
City is a great imrovement over GTA3. With a better storyline,
great characters, a bigger city, and an ever wider variety
of guns and vehicles, this game will have you satisfied
from start to finish.
