Pros: Great Graphics, great sound effects, great fun for all video gamers.
Cons: None
The bottom line: Grand Theft Auto Vice City would not be for children, but would be for people who are interested in action-packed games.
Grand Theft Auto Vice City has to be one of the greatest games ever. I was probably one of the only people who did not play the game when it was released. But when I did, I couldn't stop playing at all. I ended up buying the game and got to play the missions. The game has great graphics, sound, and it is just fun to play!

In GTA Vice City, there are many missions to complete, with extra side missions. During the game, you control a character named Tommy Vercetti, a man who is supposed to bring a load of money to a gang. When he gets dropped off in Vice City, he loses everything, including the money. He doesn't even have a car. You have to work your way to the top by completing missions for different people all around the city.

I'd have to say that the gameplay is very easy. It is easy to control your character, his car, and the weapon, especially since they have the auto-aim (press R1 to aim). During gameplay, you can basically do whatever you want to. One thing that is unrealistic is that the cops don't chase you when you drive fast or run red lights. But that's ok because that makes the game so much more fun. Many people love to drive fast in the games, so that helps. Here are the controls for the game:

X-Drive vehicle/sprint while on foot
Square-Jump/Reverse car
Triangle-Get in car
Circle-Shoot weapon
R1-Aim
R2-Cycle through weapons
L1-Change Radio Stations
L2-Cycle through weapons

The graphics are no different from those in GTA 3. The cars look as real as its real life model. The weapons look real and accurate. You can enjoy looking at the beach, nice buildings, the sunset, and the moon. There are more people in the game too. You can see people on roller skates, or joggers. You can also see older men and women, or young ladies, and tough guys. There are always gangs hanging out in a circle on most streets. Be sure not to mess with them.

GTA Vice City's sound is excellent. On the radio, you can enjoy rockin or poppin 80's music. There are also hilarious talk radio stations. Your car also has a horn that you can use when you want to get moving. Police cars, fire trucks, and ambulances have sirens that you can use if you want other cars to get out of your way. Your character, Tommy Vercetti, talks now, unlike Grand Theft Auto 3's mute, unnamed character. Sound effects aren't really that different from GTA 3. When you hear a car explode or guns shoot, they sound pretty much the same as GTA 3.

The vehicles in this game range from sports cars, to moving vans, to motorcylces, boats, and helicopters. You cold also use a tank that shoots missiles and bombs. The sports cars are the models of Lamborghini's, Ferraris, and more. The normal cars can be the models of Volkswagens, Toyotas, and some others. The boats ride pretty fast, and so doest the helicopter. The tank usually is slow, but very powerful. If you drive a tank into a car, the car will explode. Most trucks are powerful enough to knock a car off the road. Motorcycles are fun to ride, but if you crash, you fall off. In each car, you can do a drive-by shooting. My favorite cars are the sports cars.

I would recommend this game for people who like action/adventure games, and ones who love driving. I would not recommend this game for any child under the age of 16.

My final rating of GTA Vice City would be that it is a great, action packed game. I would rate it a 10 on a scale of 1-10.
