Improves upon the already awesome GTA3!
The graphics looks sharper than GTA3 and all the vehicle and characters looks great! Vice City is more diverse and bigger than Liberty City (which wasn't small to begin with). The level of detail is not the best but it gives the game a nice frame rate, even when all hell breaks loose.
The music is even better than GTA3, the radio stations banter and music is right from the 80's and i enjoyed a lot of those tunes even if i think the 80's is a dark age for music! The sound effect is well done as well. The gameplay is like GTA3 but it's been expanded to include more vehicle, varied missions and more sandbox elements in which you can spend countless hours. The actual story of the game is a lot bigger than GTA3 and could last you upwards of 40hrs to complete.
So Vice City is one of the best sequels ever made and only San Andreas surpassed it. Strongly recommended to anyone who likes video games!
