Grand Theft Auto:
Vice City

By Zachary Gaberel

 

IMAGE: Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Screen Shot.THE FIRST THING people ask is: “Is this game worth fifty dollars or is it just a rip off?” Well, I think it is a great game, and I would definitively pay fifty dollars for it; it is worth every penny. There is one problem—you have to have Play Station two (PS2) to have this game—it is not for the PC.

The game is based in 1986, and we follow Tommy Vercetti in town as he is released from prison. Everyone says “oh it’s the same thing over and over again”. But it isn’t, you can do so much in Vice City, whether it is getting around by car, by boat, or by air.

It is rated M for mature. You have to be 17 or else it is not for you. It is rated M because you can have sex with hookers and prostitutes, also there are strip club. You can visit the web site at
www.rockstargames.com/vicecity/. It is made by Rockstar games. It is made mostly for teenagers that have time to waste, like me.

The best part of this game, I would have to say, is the transportation. You don’t need to rent a car you just press triangle to steel a car and x to drive You can go as fast as you want and do whatever
you want in the cars. Motorbikes are also cool it is the same technique to get in and out of them. Also boats are fun and you can steal them on the docks. Also seaplanes are on the docks and you can
see a great view of Vice City from them. There are also helicopters which are fun, they are found at the airports and so are the airplanes. But by foot is also a great way to get around.

Another great thing are the missions and how cool they are. You can do the missions or you can just fool around. If that gets boring, you can use the cheats. See http://www.gamers.com/game/ 1086542/cheats. or do a search on www.google.com for more cheats. One word of advice is to watch out what you do because the police in Vice City are especially hard on you. You can get stars that are on a scale of one to six, six the most, and one being the lowest for how you are wanted. On the cheats you can hire and lower your stars.

You can do golf and race cars and race dirt bikes. Dirt biking racing is located in Ocean Beach. Golf is located in Vice Point and street racing you can find anywhere. And also the mall is a fun place to hang out.

Overall Vice City is definitely worth fifty dollars and I would recommend you rent it or try it if anyone you know has it because it is a really fun and exciting game, you can rent it at blockbuster for example. Out of five stars I would give it a five out of five.
