Grand Theft Auto – Vice City

Grand Theft Auto- Vice City became the best selling game in the year it was introduced for the first time in 2002 and is the predecessor of the Grand Theft Auto-San Adreas. It was a 3D game initially packaged to be played in PlayStation2 but is now available as improved editions which support the Xbox versions.

This game is set in the 1980s and brings forth the mafia wars imminent during those times and greatly upholds the cultural and social life of the times. In fact in this game there are several references to various real life characters and places which have been spoofed at. Set in Vice City, modeled on Miami, Florida, Tommy Vercetti is a mafia dons who has just obtained his freedom form prison life and vouches to compensate for the losses incurred in securing certain drug deals which includes killing and taking revenge against those who were responsible for this ordeal. This game, it is often said, was influenced by certain celluloid ventures like those of Carlito’s Way and Scarface and also to an extent by the popular sitcom Miami Vice.

There are immense cut throat action sequences in the Grand Theft Auto series and this game is no exception. There are innumerable chasing sequences with the players appropriating and running after in boats, cars, helicopters and cycles and the use of about 35 weapons. All these add to the effects of the game which keeps the player glued to his seat. A latest innovation to be found in the game is the inclusion of this new rule by means of which the player has the authority of purchasing a few properties scattered all over the city which can be used later as hiding venues.

Like the other games of this series, Vice City has also earned the reputation of having explicit violent and adult content not eligible for all users and is also said to have induced individuals in committing heinous crimes.
