My friends have it, played it and it is good. Better than crappy GTA 3 that I thought was so dull and boring. But GTA Vice City really isn't much more different to GTA 3. "How could it be better then?" I hear you ask. Simply because of the motor bikes. If this game didn't have them, it would suck completely IMO. It couldn't live on the helicopters or planes because they are so crud with awful handling and height limitation and just aren't fun.

I hated GTA 3 because all I thought was fun was going on killing sprees and toying with the public but it only lasted 5 minutes. The Tank was fun though.... for a while. Driving the cars was so boring, and this is carried on to Vice City. The only vehicle I ever choose is a bike and I never get bored of them. Now I can kill people, get on a bike, do some crazy stunt, go crazy all together, kill more people, ride, repeat. I also mix some other stuff in there so I don't get bored. Now the game has a story, it's more interesting too and there are some humorous lines too. But it's still pretty simple.

Vice City is yet another hyped up GTA game that doesn't live up to it. I heard about all the stuff you could do, played it and I was let down. Buying stuff is pretty basic and once you have it.... well who cares. You "run" Taxi firms and ice cream places but then again, you don't really do anything for it. You buy a business, maybe store some cars there and thats it. You can then come back to pick up some cash laying outside the front door on the street.... just like real life! It's dull and boring.

But the game is good and fun enough to play because of the motorbikes and the missions are somewhat better too, but nothing fab. The graphics are shoddy too, but there are some nice touches liek blood splattering on the camera as well as rain. Doesn't look realistic, but it looks alright. I also like it how Tommy Vicetti's clothes blow in the wind, although I don't like it how the trousers of the "Mr. Vicetti" suit poked through his top suit. GLitches are once again common in this game!

If I were to give this game a ranking, it would be 7/10 or 6.7/10 or something. Fun but flawed. Probably wouldn't last me if I had it.
