I would like to start this by saying I am not a big video game player, and by far not an expert. You will not get much in the way of technical here in this review. You will however get mine and my families game playing opinion.
Grand Theft Auto Vice City is the 4th one released. The excitement over this game when it first came out was that of the first Christmas with Pokemon cards. A friend of mine who works at Best Buy had to hold one for us as they flew off of the shelves the first day.
What I really love about this game is all of the options. The directions you can go, the missions, acquiring your own stores, strip clubs, and even an ice cream truck. There is always something to do when you turn on the game whether it be going on the next mission or just messing around stealing cars and blowing things up.
Cheats galore.... Online we have found so many cheat codes for this game it is unreal. This makes the game all that more worth it for me. I like surprises later on down the line.
The graphics are great. Movement is a little hard to handle sometimes, but not overly annoying. The music and audio in general are hysterical. The old 80's music is nice and fits the game. Some of the things you hear on the radios in those cars will crack you up so much you will have to pause the game. The quality of this video game is a 10 in my book.
At first glance you would think all you will be doing is stealing cars and going on missions. You soon learn not only can you have cars, but you can travel by motorcycle, boats, and even planes.
My boyfriend has acquired a strip club on his saved game. This is a good reason I would say keep the kids away. My 8 year old decided to play his game and next thing we knew he was getting a lap dance. Yes, a lap dance, and a very realistic one at that.
It is a 1 player game and rated Mature with good reason.
Like I said earlier I am not a big game player, but even so I can get into this game. It's like stepping into a crazy little world where anything goes.
