Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (2002 Video Game)
10/10
Rockstar's Masterpiece
10 January 2016
"Vice City", now you're talking about something really special. As a sequel, it builds on and refines "GTA III" in every single way. More vehicles, massive replay value and even more inviting sense of freedom. What they created here was a living, breathing proxy of South Florida, a pastel '80s drenched world that was as fun to explore as it was to mock. I have spent countless hours (over the last 13 years) revisiting and plunging into this game. It's got "Miami Vice" written all over it and the sense of humor's light-hearted but pointedly satirical (back in the earlier days when their ribbing was fun but not overly cynical - I'm looking at you, "V"). And then there's that soundtrack! The heavy hitters they've got playing on the radio stations in this game are admirable, and it's wholly addicting. It's a big part of what makes this environment so fun.

No pretense of objectivity here. This might just be the greatest console game I've ever played. My love for this will never die.

10/10
