Product Description: Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
Inspired by the look portrayed on television's stylish crime drama Miami Vice, the game takes place in the 1980s with criminals wearing pastel-colored suits, bikini-clad babes relaxing on sandy beaches, and palm tree-lined streets bustling with motorcycles, cars modeled after Ferrari Testarossas, and more. Players can now enter buildings like hotels or discos and walk through hallways to visit rooms.
Players can embark on a series of missions to build a reputation or simply explore the city, hijacking one of 120 vehicles (including motorcycles) and wreaking havoc on foot with an arsenal of 40 different weapons. The targeting mode has been refined once players leave their vehicle, with the camera taking a fixed position behind the character's shoulder and an auto-targeting system based on priority and danger level.
The change in vistas has resulted in new types of pedestrians populating the streets, including roller skaters, joggers, and different gang members. The AI has also been retooled to account for greater variety in pedestrian movement as well as gang behavior. Now gangs are designed to act independently of the player, such as fighting with citizens or stealing their cars. The police will also respond to these incidents, and may attempt to engage in high-speed pursuits with gangs as players go about their own business.
To effectively capture the mood of the 1980s, the soundtrack has been altered to fit the time period. Players will listen to an estimated nine hours of music (nearly three times the amount featured Grand Theft Auto III) across 10 radio stations. The eclectic mix features such noteworthy titles as "I Ran" by Flock of Seagulls, "The Message" by Grandmaster Flash, "You've Got Another Thing Coming" by Judas Priest, and "Out of Touch" by Hall Oates.
The revamped sound continues on the streets, with over 8,000 lines of spoken dialogue recorded to help bring the fictional city to life. The lead character of Tommy Vercetti will also share his thoughts and musings with players in a departure from the strong but silent protagonist found in GTA III. Actor Ray Liotta provides the voice for Vercetti, and a mix of other film stars round out the cast.

free roaming game concept still rocks
, November 2, 2002Reviewer: bonkers7175 - See all bonkers7175's reviews23 of 28 Yahoo! Users found this Grand Theft Auto: Vice City review helpful Another reviewer said this was not as good as gta3, I think the only problem here is that this game is now no longer a new concept to us all, gta3 blew us away because we had never played or seen anything like it, while there are welcome new additions in the game, this is basically an extension of gta3, which is exactly what a sequel should be, it just might not seem as exciting this time around because weve seen it before, but that does not mean that the game is lacking, it has more of everything we loved about gta3, more cars, more weapons, and the ability to change the characters clothing, which is very cool, not to mention that the game features the best sound track ever in game, ever. To sum up, I think Rockstar did a good job here, they are giving us gta3 again, but bigger and with more of everything we loved about last years game. ... -
