Grand Theft Auto (GTA): Vice City for PlayStation 2

Pros: Amazingly Deep Gameplay, The Soundtrack
Cons: Still Lots Of Glitches

What exactly is it that makes the Grand Theft Auto franchise so appealing? While I bludgeoned and machine-gunned my way through the first three games in the series, I had to keep asking myself: why do I find this so much fun? I mean, when you actually...

Pros: More rides, more guns, more gore, apparently you can improve on perfection
Cons: Seems more like the second coming of GTA3 than a truly new game.

I remember the fateful day I purchased GTA3. I got home, struggled with the shrink wrap, and finally managed to free the precious, precious disk, pop it into my PS2, and let my darkest inner demons take hold for a while, as I wreaked havoc upon Liberty...

Pros: Your free to kill, steal and destroy whatever you want.
Cons: Gameplay very occasionally...

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is the follow up the PS2's first big groundbreaking game Grand Theft Auto 3. Made by the good people at RockStar, you know, the friendly chaps that churn out violent game after violent game such as Max Payne and a personal ...

Pros: Gorgeous graphics, fun missions, tons of freedom, so much stuff you can do.
Cons: Weapon system broken up into 3 different groups which you can't use at one time.

Forget about the background story (read the above reviews if you're really dying to know), in fact forget about the whole story (it's hollywood caliber in the likes of Scarface and Goodfellas) and let's get to the real nitty-gritty...the ability to do...

Pros: Almost everything
Cons: Very few

First of all, I hate to say it but I got GTA III just yesterday. I know, I know. Also, it's very har ...

Pros: great fun - addictive - humerous
Cons: bit violent - quite a lot of swearing

Please note - this is a non-game-playing girlfriend's review, so please don't tell me off for patronising women!! I know lots really rock at games but I can't and lots of my mates can't!! But I do watch a lot of games being played. This has got to be ...

Pros: There's so much new stuff in this game.
Cons: Not all of it is good.

I got this game the week it came out (an early birthday present from my girlfriend), and was extremely excited about playing it. I was an avid player of GTA3 and simply couldn't wait a minute longer to put this baby in my PS2. After months of waiting,...

Pros: This is a MUST-HAVE. Try to take a break while playing.
Cons: Little kids should not play this, but they can still get their hands on it.

Do you understand the phrase "INSTANT CLASSIC"? If you don't well, watch ESPN and get it down. Not important. Like it's predecessor (GTA 3), VICE CITY captivates nearly anyone who owns a PS2 or PC. It's now available for the XBox too. This game is ...

Pros: One of the biggest and best games ever made.
Cons: Tommy can't swim.

I swing onto the tarmac of the Airport in my Infernus, just ahead of a battalion of cop cars, sirens ...

Pros: Everything that was good about Grand Theft Auto III and much more.
Cons: Some overly hard missions, some annoying glitches, targeting system still needs work.

This review contains many large spoilers, so please read extremely carefully!!! Lately there has been one game series that's become a phenomenon. This series is Grand Theft Auto. Starting out in 1998, it was successful but not exactly ...

Pros: Great looking cars, feels like different game from gta3
Cons: graphic errors, miscalculations that hinder gameplay, quirky performance

While I like the game for the most part, the title of my review sums up the way I feel about the game most clearly. GTA3 for the playstation 2 and the computer were pretty much the same, with just a little extra detail in the environment, but they had a...

Pros: So many things a person can do
Cons: Some of them just too bloody, the minigames, women don't walk like that!

Before I talk about the game, let me say that it seems obvious that almost the only people that have reviewed this game are the ones that like the game. Or so it seems to me. I'm not saying it's a bad game, but I'm sure there are people out there that...

Pros: Pros: GTA3 but better: Main character now has a name and talks!
Cons: Cons: Some minor issues…you’ll never go back to playing GTA 1-3 again.

First, there was Grand Theft Auto. I remember playing it in computer class and having hella fun running people over, especially the people in a marching band or something and you could run 15 or so people at a time. The missions were boring. Then, I ...

Pros: Great soundtrack; excellent voice acting; just plain fun!
Cons: Horrible graphics; A.I. of the NPCs is ridiculous.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, typically, is not the type of game I'm willing to blow $50 on. Under normal circumstances, and in spite of my longtime fascination with all things mob-related, I would've borrowed it from a friend or relative and spent the...

Pros: Great 80s soundtrack, A lot more vehicles and weapons then previous GTA games
Cons: Aiming and fighting controls can sometimes be a nuisance

Series Summary

When the first Grand Theft Auto arrived in stores on the Playstation, it may have not had the graphics that we are capable of today. This may be true, but it didn't stop the controversy that revolved around the title....
