Grand Theft Auto: Vice City followed GTA 3 in the popular series of open-world games, and while GTA 3 was called a revolution in gaming when it was first released, GTA: Vice City offers something even greater to the diehard fans. This game is set in the fictitious Vice City, a location that was modeled after Miami from the 1980s.

Players will love the freedom and grit of this game, and it continues the tradition of sandbox style gaming that was started with earlier games in the series. There are tons of things to do in this game, and the city itself is so vast that players could scarcely explore it all if it weren't for the numerous vehicles that can be used to speed up traveling. Missions and challenges are just about everywhere, and players can also wreak mayhem by stealing cars, money, and anything else they can get their hands on. Using the arsenal of in-game weapons, these crimes become quite easy.

You'll play as Tommy Vercetti in GTA: Vice City, an ex-hitman who recently got out of a 15-year stint at prison for his past crimes. He worked for an Italian mob family, and now he's out and looking for a place in the sprawling Vice City. Players will love following Tommy's story as the game pushes the player through events that lead Tommy to his new criminal endeavors. With more than 60 missions of varying difficulty, this game is sure to keep players entertained for hours.

Tommy doesn't know anything other than crime at this point in his life, so he dives right back into the criminal world after being released from prison. Upon his return to the criminal underworld, Tommy must battle and steal his way back to the top. The gritty missions and realistic action will draw players in to the world, and their ability to interact with that world in any way they choose will keep players coming back for more.

As with every other game in the GTA series, the primary objectives in this game are almost all based on crime and violence. Of course, there are ways to enjoy the game without having to prescribe to that method. Players can enter the city without worrying about their primary storyline, and they can perform many of the same tasks that other members of the city perform. Players can take the place of a taxi driver, a fireman, or a stuntman. You can also practice your aim by going to the shooting range. If you want to open and run legitimate businesses in the city, that is also an option.

This game was first released in 2002, but it is still highly playable and addictive to this day. The graphics are a bit out of date, but that makes sense with the age of the software.
