All GTA games in my opinion are on the same line in greatness, but this one is a little better due to several reasons
User Rating: 9.6 | Grand Theft Auto: Vice City PS2
I think that San Andreas is an amazing GTA, but there is one thing that it lacks, and that is simply the feeling that vice city had to the storyline. Gta Vice City has a great storyline which is in my opinion the best so far in all the currently released GTA games. In this game you play as Tommy Vercetti an Ex-Prisoner who gets sent to a spot in which a drugs deal is to take place, but the deal is broken by gunmen linked to Diaz an agressive and powerful fat guy which you see a lot of later on in the game. During the bust both the money and the drugs are lost, and one of the Vance Brothers is shot to death along with the two men that Tommy was sent with. Tommy manages to escape the bust and so does Lance Vance the surviving Vance brother, but he flies off in a helicopter whilst tommy jumps into Ken Rosenburgs car and they drive off. Once tommy is safe and away from the bust, you are then given control of his character and you are left to get yourself out of the trouble that you are in with the forellis for loosing the money due to the badly gone wrong deal. Vice city doesnt have nearly as much freedom as San Andreas has, but the city is nicely designed and has a great feel to it. You meet a lot of great characters in this game which you become very fond of due to their great style and cool personalities. Almost everything about this game is amazing, i really reccomend it to anyone who is into this sort of game. It will always be my favorate GTA game unless the next GTA is better which it probably will be because rockstar are great game creators and they dont let any problems get in the way of their GTA games (probably the reason for all the glitches in their GTA games) but i guess the glitches are more fun than annoying unlike in some other games in which the glitches really get on your nerves.
Definately Reccomended.
