The listing, Vice City Grand Theft Auto PlayStation 2 has ended.
Amazon.com Review The achievement of Vice City (which, as everyone knows by now, is set in the 1980s and offers an all-new,Miami Vice-inspired story) is not only that it manages to live up to an absurd level of expectation the first thing you'll notice is the improved graphics,which are smoother and more detailed, and with effects like neon lights reflected on rain-slick streets, and intense Florida sunlight--have a lush, tropical look that immediately gives you a strong sense of place.The architecture is more fabulous by tenfold,with art deco buildings,high-rise hotels,and in pedestrian mode there is a new crouch move.You will have access to fast, great-handling cars right away This game has such riches to offer that there is no need to be chintzy with the vehicles.
Cops are more vigilant this time--minor offenses like whacking innocent bystanders will more often than not get you a two-star wanted level--and are harder to elude (though they still can't seem to climb stairs or negotiate sharp turns).So while free-roaming exploration is as fun as ever,there is more incentive to perform the missions instead of randomly raising hell.Not that that's a bad thing: even lazy criminals like myself will be quickly caught up in the vivid characters and hilarious,fascinating story,in which you play an acid-washed-jeans-wearing thug named Tommy Vercetti.For example,there is a scene of a character throwing Tommy a gun,at which point you are suddenly thrown back into the action and must make an instant decision about whom to trust and what to do.There are more detailed indoor enviorments,including a hotel,police station,and mall, The layout of the city, with tons of backyards, narrow alleys, and fire escapes, encourages creativity when eluding pursuit, as does greater access to rooftops. Get your motorcycle up the fire escape and a whole new world of action is possible,David Stoesz
