| Grand Theft Auto Vice City Game & Sound Track Review |
|
|
| The music, the vehicles, the fashion, Grand Theft
Auto-Vice City re-created the 80's in a modern day Play Station
2 game. Put all of the negative things you have heard about Vice
City out of your head. It's a game. Sure it's a bit violence,
but so were a lot of the games in the 80's? This is just an overall
great game. Vice City is sure to bring back many fond memories
about the 80's. The game takes place in Florida and it will automatically
make most 80's buff's think about the television series Miami
Vice. As a matter of fact, Miami Vice actor Phillip Michael Thomas
lends his voice to the games character Lance Vance. |
The main character in the game is an ex-con named Tommy Versetti.
Tommy is on a mission to retrieve some stolen drugs. Completing
the overall mission of the game will have you completing many
different kids of missions and mini side missions. As Tommy Versetti
you will do many things and and see many places, in many different
vehicles, including hot stolen cars, luxury speed boats, motorcycles,
and you can even fly helicopters. |
| Back to the cool 80's stuff about this game. The
music. User control rules in Vice City and you have several radio
stations that you can choose from. The assortment of music available
is awesome. Like new wave music? Then Wave 103 is the station
for you. Wave 103's play list includes hits "Gold" by
Spandau Ballet, "Pale Shelter," by Tears For Fears and
"Never Say Never" by Romeo Void. |
If you like break dance music, then Wildstyle is
your station. R&B your cup of tea? Fever 105 is your station.
Like to listen to music in Espanol? There is even a Spanish station
(hey, this does take place in Florida). There is also a hard rock
station, V-Rock. Miss those 80's power ballads, like Night Rangers
"Sister Christian?" then Emotion is your station. Flash
FM also plays popular 80's radio hits. Their play list includes
songs like "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson and "Run
To You" by Bryan Adams. The music helps make the game exciting.
As you drive around in your hot stolen cars you have the ultimate
80's soundtrack at your disposal.

| The missions you will complete as Tommy Verscetti
vary in nature. Before you embark on your missions, I suggest
that you purchase The Grand Theft Auto Vice City Official Strategy
Guide. The strategy guide features in depth descriptions of every
mission. It also helps you to find hidden packages and other mini
missions within the game called rampages. |
|
|
The
Grand Theft Auto Vice City Official Strategy Guide doesn't
have any cheats. However, it is a must if you want to find
all of the hidden packages and rampages. The strategy guide
also provides you with hints on how to complete the missions
and information on side missions like unique stunts. |
|
There are too many missions for me to describe
each one, but don't worry, there are some wonderful Vice City
walk thru's on the web. One of the best ones is at Bellaonline-GTA
Vice City Walk Thru.
The mission vary in type. There is a mission early in the game,
named Waste The Wife. that will have you run a woman in a yellow
car off the road. Another mission, Demolition Man, will have you
using a RC helicopter to drop bombs at a contstruction site. One
of my favorite missions is Phantom Penh 86, which is a sniper
mission where you will have to shoot bad guys from a helicopter.
Oh an did I forget Treachorous Swine? In this mission you have
to silence a loud mouth with a chainsaw. |
The missions and the game only get more fun as
you progress. Mid-point through the game, the bridges to the other
island open up and the playing field for the game becomes much
larger.
Not all of the missions involve gratuitous violence. You can even
earn an honest living in Vice City by helping out the injured
by driving an ambulance, putting out fires with the fire truck,
and helping people get where they need to go by driving the taxi.
|
After you complete a mission named "Shakedown"
you can begin buying your businesses around Vice City. Some of
the businesses that you can run include Pole Position strip club,
Kaufman Cab and the Cherry Popper's Ice Cream Factory.
The game is awesome and the soundtrack is dynamic. If you miss
the 80s, Grand Theft Auto Vice City will definitely put you in
an 80's state of mind.

| Neat things about the game... |
- The next game in the series is rumored to be Grand
Theft Auto-San Andreas (GTA-San Andreas)
|
- If you have a car that is trashed and you put it
in a garage when you come back for it it will be like
new.
|
- The game voice over actors includes 80's stars Phillip
Michael Thomas, Ray Liotta, and Burt Reynolds.
|
- The commercials are hilarious and poke fun at 80's
trends, tv, and movies.
|
- In the mission, The Driver, when you (Tommy Verscetti)
are in the back room of the Malibu Club the song "In
A Big Country" can be heard playing, even though
the song is heard nowhere else on the game's soundtrack.
