Nov 9, 20129Honestly, I think GTA 3 is better, but this is still a great game. The missions are varied, the graphics are beautiful for 2002, and its overall fun to play.

Dec 4, 201210I love the 80s and I love Grand Theft Auto. I cum in my pants when I play this. It's that good. Great soundtrack, great story, great graphics for its time and great gameplay. **** you if you didn't like it when it came out

Nov 25, 201110Missions, side missions, races, police chases, taxi missions, vigilante missions, firetruck missions, ambulance missions, pizza boy missions, rampages, hidden packages, unique jumps, safehouses, shops, exploration, and, of course, whatever the heck you want!! Pretty much the best video game in the market. The end.

Sep 22, 201110Well, according to what I know, players that were completely "Viced" on Grand Theft Auto 3 fell in love with some new options available on Vice City such as riding a bike for the very first time, new weapons, new environment and lots of new minigames and side missions.

Aug 12, 201010One the greatest games ever made for the PS2, and no doubt my favorite Grand Theft Auto game ever made. It is a must by for anyone who likes free-roaming type games with a good Scarface type story-line and lots of weapons and cars.
-
Dec 14, 201110For me this was superior to GTA3 in every single way. Just like in GTA3 most of the time i was just cruising, listen to music. I loved the ending "boss" reminiscent of scar face. This game IS a must buy.
-
Jul 20, 201210As many people said before "I grew up with this game" so did I. It was amazing how cars got on fire and people head exploded when shot with sniper. "OMG" and boats... oh goood awsome. Was a best game many years ago but for today you cant compare this game with GTA IV ect. So 10/10! Second good GTA after GTA:LONDON :)
-
Aug 22, 201210This game is my favorite GTA III Era game. It has style, story and big pack of action. I grew on this game (along with GTA3 and GTA San Andreas). One of the best games EVER.
-
Apr 5, 201210while not as good as 3 this game is still a true marvel awesome shooting outrages fun with missions. driving is same as ever but still fun. The character kodels are impressive too still a 10
-
Apr 3, 20139This is one of the best sandbox games ever made. Huge step from GTA III. Looking back and comparing San Andreas and Vice City, Vice City could have used some edge in storyline sometimes. Asset missions interrupts the main story line for a while.
Cruising in Vice City is allthough one of the best experiences I´ve had while gaming. -
May 22, 201210With great story, great radio stations (including the commercials), great vehicles, all around great sense of style, hilarious characters and great gameplay... this is by far one of the top 5 to have on PS2.
-
Feb 1, 201310Dude, IDGAF what anybody says, Vice City is easily the best Grand Theft Auto game out there. It's just made of complete and total awesome. Throw in the wicked 80's soundtrack and it can't be beat.

Jan 7, 201310Gta Vice city is yet another master piece from the greatest gaming franchise of all... Rockstar Games. This game is simply amazing with great visuals, a Stella cast of voice actors and immersive storyline this is my personnel favourite GTA. An utter Classic thanks Rockstar.

MicahC.Jan 9, 200310Totally SICK!

IdiApr 8, 200310I spend really beautifull christmas with this game. =] And it is not said that you must kill everybody on your way. ;P
-
-
J.PalmNov 9, 20029This is the best game ever made. Even better then GTA3. Not only is does this game have over 60 hours of game play while trying to beat the game it also has 50 hour of just messing with the game. Lastly There are major improvements from GTA3 including interiors. Man this game is good.

JustinM.Mar 15, 20049Motorcycles and lots more sports car is cool, but the story is not as good as gtaIII. Like them both the same.
-
-
SWEETGAMEMar 10, 200710Everyone who said that vice city was lame can go suck an Xbox. This was the greatest GTA game, even better than VCS, and is so vivid. the only downsides are no multiplayer and you need your parents to purchase it with you. crap. But still a fricken good game. The second best series ever on ps2, right after SOCOM us navy seals series.
-
-
MatthewCoolAug 5, 200910it is very good id play it over and over again better than gta3 much like scarface (the shootouts) miami vice(cops in sports cars) and other stuff like great 80s music and the mission might get very annoying but the game is makes it fun nonetheless
-
-
VirtualOnNov 22, 20029Vice City is the most cohesive and convincing game environment ever conceived. GTA:VC is so lovingly crafted, from the inspired celebrity voice acting to the embarrasingly complete soundtrack, that Rockstar North should be very proud of they're newest baby.
-
-
SianH.Nov 6, 200210This game is the best. It's a lot better than gta 3.
-
-
BrandonB.Nov 7, 200210I give this game a 10, but like CHris H. said, it does need to be harder. But other than that, this is a bad game!!!
-
-
ChrisO.Dec 15, 200210Other game makers need to learn from this game. this should be the steping stone to a hole new way we play games. Can't wait to see if they can get better.

MartinA.Dec 27, 200210You suck Kevin B! This game rocks.

EricS.Oct 30, 200210This game has broken new ground in open-ended gameplay, in a series that had already broken a ton of it. If you haven't gone out and purchased this yet (assuming you can find a copy!), I have no idea what you're waiting for.
-
-
K.L.Jan 13, 200310This is a sweet game, and very fun.
-
-
DamianM.Jan 15, 20039The game was really good 10 times better than GTA 3. You can bail out now, and you can buy more hide-outs, it has motorcycles. But There is one BIG PROBLEM YOU CANT SWIM IN THIS GAME.
-
-
AlonJan 3, 200310This game is so freaking awesome! Flying helicopters is so awesome along with the ability to own buildings and businesses.
-

ShayneA.Jul 9, 200310Its the best especially with the smart ass comments and the pootang involved in the film studios.
-
-
JAKEL.Mar 20, 20049A good game ... but not as good as III in terms of storyline.

HenrikS.Jun 7, 20079Great game, fun and addictive.
-
-
ClintT.Jan 20, 20089This is a brilliant, humorous satire in much the same vein as other GTA games. It owes a lot to films such as Scarface (similar plot and a couple of the shootouts in Vice City are similar to the final hurrah of Tony Montana as well as countless other references) and Carlito
-
-
JamesD.Jan 28, 201010The most beautiful GTA game I've ever played. When I first saw the original trailer with Kool & the Gang's hit track Summer Madness, I thought this game was absolutely gorgeous. The experience is thoroughly entertaining and whilst it retains most of the textures and animations of GTA III but it is a much grander experience overall.
-
-
ssseeeeeeeJan 3, 201010Amazing game! Best PS2 game for sure! Wish they would make some kind of a remake from this, or new game from the same setting.
-
-
*Chris**Faz*Nov 11, 200210It has greatly improved since GTA 3 and has much better gameplay. Overall it's Fantastic.
-
-
TimoK.Nov 11, 200210The best game ever!!!!!
-
-
MatthieuR.Nov 10, 200210Splendid improvement over the already fabulous GTA3. The only gripes I have are the clumsy control when on foot, some crappy camera angles, and a few annoyingly frustrating RC missions (bomb the Cubans anyone?).
-
-
JasonA.Nov 10, 200210Awesome.
-
-
ryanbNov 20, 200210I have one thing to say... Pure Genius!!!! That douchebag that gave it a 5 and loves Metroid prime has a small penis. There is no other explantion. I hate him. I wish he was walking and a large puertorican rapes hmi the ass on his way home. This is the best game ever. No doubt. except halo, and nothing. Once again i hate him.
-
-
HeatherP.Nov 3, 200210This is the best game I evered played in my hole life this is the best thank you for making it!!
-
-
MattR.Nov 3, 200210There goes all my free time, my social life, and everything else I needed to spend time on... This game is pure crack, and definitely improves on the original. I'd like to see tweaked controls and better graphics, but's it's brilliant as is.
-
-
ElSteve-oNov 7, 200210If you dont own it, go buy it immediately. Its even BETTER than GTA 3!
-
-
TomS.Nov 7, 20029Awsome game!! Great graphics.
-
-
JohnE.Nov 9, 200210Amazing story line, the best voice work and overall audio in gaming to date, more cars and weapons and on top of all that you can buy businesses to set up your own mob family, and make more money of course. You can actually, as crazy as it sounds, "live" as the character.
-
-
LarryS.Nov 9, 200210GREAT game!! Better than GTAIII, This game ranks beter than a 10+++. MUST HAVE GAME for the GTA fan.
-
-
JonathanR.Dec 10, 200210This game is one of the best and most fun games I have ever played.
-
-
NchwDec 28, 200210This is a game of exceptional quality. Apart from the loading times this would have to be one of the defest games i have ever played. Buy this game immediately or i will eat your children.

SeanF.Dec 30, 200210This is one of the best games ever made, just like hitman 2.
-
-
ChrisR.Dec 4, 200210One word...damn!
-
-
TonyG.Dec 4, 200210Great game, i'll tell you about it but first i have to go sell some drugs, beat up a pimp, screw his ho, rob a food chain, steal a helicopter, get me a boat, a car of any choice, kill a pig, and then come back to my pornographic studio where i can tell you more about this game of my life!
-
-
AdamL.Oct 29, 200210Best game ever. I thought GTA3 was the best, but after 9 straight hours with it. It has improved in every way.
-
-
JerryT.Dec 9, 200210First thing i have to say is that Adam J. is stupid because the floor dissappears in gta3 too. the only reason the game glitches sometimes is because of how large this game is. And for the cars can u just tell me can u get a motorbike or dirt bike or helicopter or different kinds of boats other than that cop one? yea i thought not so do rate a game u dont noe anything about.
-
-
BrandonH.Oct 29, 200210Just plain and simple- truly and awesome game. None better.
-
-
MTBonesOct 29, 200210Did rockstar do better than GTA:III with Vice City. I think so!!!
-
-
SwedenS.Oct 31, 200210Gr8.

JasonP.Oct 30, 200210Dq Bomb!
-
-
ZiggyStardustOct 31, 200210Granted the graphics are barely improved over GTA3s, but it's just what everyone wanted. All new missions, great design, and slight gameplay improvements here and there.

JeffH.Jan 14, 20039A solid, likeable game. The graphics are a liitle choppy and blury, and the blood looks fake, but other thatn that it's a fun game. It includes new features upgrading gta3. I would be really impressed if they came out with a multiplayer gta.

JoyH.Feb 15, 200310Great Game. Better Than GTA3.
-
-
JakeS.Feb 19, 200310The best ever how can you think its not. Sure the missions are short but they are exciting and hard but not impossible to beat. The huge detailed city, the girls, and bad dude attitude give this game an all time greatness.
-
-
TedG.Feb 23, 200310This is a sexy game it is hard but assome.
-
-
JackM.Mar 17, 200310THE BEST game i own. the graphics are brilliant and the swearing is hilirious. the radio is funny especially rusty browns ring doughnuts. basically the balls of a game.
-
-
GiancarloS.Mar 20, 200310Sometimes U play video games...but this one it´s an adventure, I got GTAIII and never occured to me they could top it, Rockstar outdid them selves, I´ve played Video games since Atari but this is the best game ever, in depth, fun and attitude...if you only own one game let it be this one.
-
-
GannonC.Mar 23, 200310I liked the strip club the most. This is the best thing ever invented since the TV.
-
-
TaHawkApr 13, 200310Clean game.
-
-
J.R.Apr 4, 200310Same game mechanics as GTA 3. That's a good thing. Helicopters and motorcycles have been added. 80's music and feel done very well. Its a bit shorter than GTA 3, and I thought that the missions in GTA 3 were a bit better. However, this game is one of the best video games ever. Period. I give this a 10 because I can't give it a 9.9. GTA 3 got a 10 and deserved all of it.
-
-
DiabloStallionApr 6, 200310If I could only play one game for the rest of my life this would be the one!!!!!!
-
-
JacanP.May 15, 200310It is very fun to find out the many different buildings you can buy and the stripper club actually makes you money if you go to the part that you pay 3$ every game hour a hole bunch.
-
-
JoshF.May 2, 200310That game rockes you can get the hoes in your car.

BamesBitchAug 18, 20039Life is meaningless after completion........they say there will be a sequel but how far away is that?......(sigh)...
-
-
NunuB.Sep 12, 20039This game is good but has too many glitches.
-
-
ChaddS.Sep 24, 200310What can you say about this game except that it is so damn good. I mean look at it, the graphics may not be up to scratch but thats not what matters,the game itself is fantastic no doubt about it.I would reccomend it to anyone.

-
FernandoC.Jan 26, 200410Spanish Comment: Asi deberian ser todos los juegos de Play2.. largos, interesantes, buenas graficas, buen sonido, con multiples posibilidades... De lo mejor... sino lo tiene en su bibioteca de juegos es imperdonable...

JohnB.Apr 17, 200410Absolutely fantasic , 1 of da best.
-
-
100No excuses, you’re gonna have to buy this. Unless you don’t own a PS2, in which case, get out of our Internet!
-
97It's enormous, packed with an immense amount of gameplay, and it's a truly unique gameplay experience...This year's most impressive title, by a log shot.
-
98This is a long game, longer than GTA3 because there are far more missions in this game in a far larger area.
