I got really bored one day and I installed Vice City on computer again. I thought I play this little bit for nostalgic reasons and now I'm almost through with all the story missions. Though the GTA IV has the greatest graphics ever I'm still very fond of VC. I can't believe it that this game came out 8 years ago!

I finished my game 100% couple of days ago. I just love to cruise around in city just to listen the radio.
"My name is Burson Fouch."
"Excellent. I am Gravis Mushnik."
"Oh, that's a good one."
What better time to replay Vice City than now,with the murderous cold outside and all.I reinstalled it a couple of weeks ago too.Playing a little every now and then.It's my 5th playthrough.To be honest,the game looks like crap and GTA IV along with the episodes roundhouse kicks VC.I like GTAIV's story ,characters,missions and feeling much more.VCS is also much better graphics wise and mission wise and fun wise.
That doesn't mean,I don't love VC.I love the wide variety of melee weapons,especially the hammer (a true biker weapon).VC is cool in it's own way.
I just bought it for £5.99 for PC.
The graphics are a bit clunky but its still a great ride !
Elvira mistress of the dark is the coolest woman ever.
DCI Gene Hunt (UK) coolest man ever.

I'm playing it for the first time right now, I'm like 20 missions in. My friend got GTA3 around the time it came out. I watched him play it and I thought it was boring. For the next several weeks he just wouldn't shut up about how great it was and how much I'd love it if I just gave it a chance. So I bought it and played it for a few hours. After that I thought it was boring AND stupid. I watched as it seemed like every other gamer in the world fell in love with it and I always wondered what I was missing. (More like I thought "Everyone is wrong except me. =P) It gave rise to the whole open-world/sandbox genre, and I avoided those games like the plague. But years later games like the Assassins Creed series, Infamous, Red Dead Redemption and most recently LA Noire showed me that I can enjoy them after all. So after wrapping up LA Noire a few weeks ago, I dug around in my old stuff until I found my old copy of GTA3, started a new game, and played it to completion. I can't say I enjoyed every moment of it, but I felt like I finally *got* it. And I liked it enough that I went and picked up a copy of Vice City. So far I'm liking it a LOT more than GTA3. It flows much better, and so far none of the missions has been a huge pain in the ass. Some of them are pretty challenging, but they never stop being fun.
shareI love this game. I've played it, beat it, uninstalled it, and reinstalled it like four times now. There's something about the 80s cheesiness that makes the game so damn cool. I know it's not as expansive as San Andreas, but man, it's still a very fun game.
shareI still play it on my PC sometimes. I don't play it nearly as much as I used to. I'm a San Andreas addict and now started playing GTA IV. The only one I never play is the 3rd, which wasn't a bad game either.
shareI still love Vice City, and will play it occasionally just to cruise around and soak up that 1980s atmos!
Although more recent GTA games have been technically better, I still think Vice City is the most atmospheric and witty of all the GTA games, and has the best soundtrack.
"There he is. Half Iago, half Fu Manchu, all bastard."
VC was my first game in the series. It's still my favorite game in the series.
I still play it occasionally on my 360. Mainly just to cruise around and listen to the radio. I even like the talk stations.
Later games might be bigger and look nicer, but none of them can match VC's style and atmosphere. I'm hoping the next game in the series returns to Vice City.
