GTA 3 is the closest game you'll get to Vice City.

How does it compare to Grand Theft Auto 3? Full voice acting was rare back in 2002 when this game was released, and whether you played then or are booting it up now for the first time, the performances and attention to detail are professional quality, even down to the period-correct radio stations. The atmosphere is reminiscent of crime drama nostalgia like 'The Godfather,' 'Scarface,' or 'Carlito's Way', and that's in large part due to the voice acting work of the cast. You can choose to intervene, or you can just cruise along and turn up the radio (be sure to check out VCPR for laughs). News copters hover overhead while rival gangs pursue turf wars in the streets. This cheerful, thriving atmosphere belies the seedy, sleazy underground that drives the story forward.Īs you speed down the road in whichever fancy hijacked vehicle suits your mood, you can observe the city around you going about its day-to-day: Sports cars zip down the roads while, boats parade through the water ways. Vice City takes place before the events of GTA 3, and shifts from the prior gritty urban environment to a bright and colorful coastal city inspired by Miami. The city itself is one of the major characters of the game, and is fully realized with a living, breathing personality of its own, one that cannot be ignored. The plot of GTA 6 is more nuanced than its predecessor, but remains simple at its core: Get revenge, get money, and embrace infamy.

These are supporting characters such as Diaz, Ken Paul, or the corrupt lawyer Ken Rosenberg. Vice City toes the line between gratuitous violence and humor, the latter of which mostly comes from the memorable cast whose personalities amusingly pinball off of Vercetti.
