I'm in love with this game, as much for the 80's music and style as the brilliant gameplay!
User Rating: 10 | Grand Theft Auto: Vice City PC
When I first played this on the PS2 back in 2002, I was instantly hooked on the sumptuously styled 1980s "Miami Vice" environment, and I spent about two months playing it every day until I had thoroughly explored and exhausted every possible mission, sub-mission, mini-game, challenge, rampage, secret, glitch and cheat, not to mention my free-roaming in-game "wanderlust". It was, is and always will be my all-time favourite game, due in part to the fact that I was a teenager during the 80s, loved the music of the era, was a big Miami Vice fan, and spent some lovely holidays on Miami Beach - that, plus the truly excellent gameplay combined with the brilliant story and structure of this game, all combines to make it a perfect experience for me. But even without my 80s nostalgia, this must surely be one of the greatest games ever made.
The PC version, which I bought in 2003 and still play from time to time even after 5 years of owning it, is as good as the PS2 version in my opinion, if not better. I think I will never grow tired of running, driving, powerboating or flying around in the game blowing up everything in my path, getting the army to come after me and then stealing a tank from them. Oh, the joy of it! An absolute all-time classic and a must-own/must-play game.
