Grand Theft Auto: Vice City sees the hugely successful Grand Theft Auto series take a step back in time to 1980's.
As usual, your aim is to tackle the criminal underworld as you battle through the urban sprawl of Vice City which is loosely based on Miami in the mid-eighties. Along the way, the action can take place anywhere from the beach and swamps to downtown ghettos. The gameplay retains the classic non-linear style with a character driven narrative after you arrive in Vice City with little more than the shirt on your back.
If you loved Grand Theft Auto III then you'll probably be blown away by Vice City which amazes with it's depth, quality and graphics. It's basically an extension of GTA III but has more features such as soundtracks, voice overs, weapons and vehicles (including sea planes). Like the former however, some of the elements are adult so it's not for children - you must be at least 17 years old to download this game.
The stories and missions are more complex than GTA III and there are more real life elements. Triggering police chases is one of the most exciting elements which is more subtle than in GTA III. Running a red light won't do it but if you cause a bit too much mayhem on the streets, they'll hunt you down in seconds.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is a superb action game that will blow you away if you loved GTA III.
