Everything you wanted in the original Vice City.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City stories is a spectacular sequel to the Grand Theft Auto series. If you loved the original Vice City, I highly recommend you get Vice City Stories. Much like Liberty City Stories, graphics are improved, sounds are pretty much the same, more features, and more action. Much more.
I have one word for this game; drugs. Vice City Stories is 95% drug based. The whole game revolves around drugs. You play as Victor Vance (Lance Vance's brother), an army soldier kicked out of the army due to marijuana found, planted by his superior officer. Pretty much after that you eventually meet your brother, get involved with Vice City's biggest drug lords, and seek revenge.
The graphics are similar to that of Liberty City Stories with minor improvements. Compared to the original Vice City, Vice City Stories looks amazing. Taking place in 1984 Vice City has some minor changes. Some new places, sites under construction, new alleyways, etc. There really are no huge additions. Vice City is more gorgeous than ever. The draw distance has been increased so you can see farther. This really makes the environment look nice. This is just my opinion but the gunfire looks awesome.
There are many features of Vice City Stories, not as much as San Andreas, but alot. I would say the biggest feature is swimming. Assuming at least 70%+ of Vice City is water, this feature is huge. Another huge feature is the ability to create an empire. With this comes money and gang members. Gang members is another feature of Vice City Stories. Though, it's not as in depth as San Andreas, gang members still play a role in this game. I would have to say gangs and gang control are much better than that of the original Vice City. New vehicles have been added and the old vehicles have returned.
The sounds of the game, like Liberty City Stories, are the same as the original Vice City with the exception of pedestrian voices.
Overall Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories is a spectacular game. It's action-packed and loads of fun.
