| So we begin in the streets with no power and no weapons. Your eager lust for power is always tempting you for the bigger n' better, always making you look for a shiny vehicle and something or someone to exploit. Instructions for various small jobs are passed on to you and as you complete tasks given from various crime figures or mystery men, you�ll have options to purchase weapons and the opportunity to learn how things work. Simply scouting around the city and becoming familiar with the geography and discovering the hidden extras is a good introduction. The city layout is well done and full of diversity, with different zones for different classes, races, and gangs, including different vehicles and equipment. You will perform job after job in order to advance the storyline and learn more about the whereabouts of the drugs which brought you to Vice City in the first place. You earn money for each job and when you have gained enough and completed specific objectives, you can buy new properties. These earn you not only local respect and new missions, but after completing the task for the location, you will acquire the option to save at their location, retrieve certain vehicles such as self-spawning cars and helicopters, and last but not least, a source of revenue which waits to be picked up each day. Some properties also have garages which can be used to store your car of choice. As far as which weapon you�ll use for what, it�s dependent on your imagination and your knowledge of their locations. You will play out a scene from the film Scarface as you chase a back stabbing snitch through the streets with a chainsaw. You�ll be able to pick off people with a sniper rifle, take out rollerbladers with the one-shot-kill magnum pistol, and do drive-by after drive-by on unsuspecting gang members with an Uzi. These are just a few examples of the many weapons to find and their uses within the game. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| The graphics are strong and appropriate to the game play, although you�ll want to be sure you have at least a 64mb graphics card, as anything less may run the game but will deprive you of much of the details that make the city come to life. It is a pleasure observing changes in the city from day to night; the spectrum of pastel colors and light promote a worthy night time atmosphere. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is a great game that holds plenty of freedom for mission execution and a high replay value. Game play is a joy as with all its elements. Although language and content might be an issue for some including parents of young children and uptight moralists, warnings are clearly indicated. In my opinion, the level of drug related and sexual content is very mild and serves to add humor and mockery to the image of the corrupt city. Besides, where else can you build a wardrobe of casual 80�s clothing and suits and listen to the best music the 80�s had to offer at the same time. Buy it because you can chop off heads with a chainsaw or mow down ignorant innocents without fear of jail time. Buy it because you can purchase a strip club and get a free private dance from semi-nude women. Buy it because Vice City fearlessly pokes fun at many socially-accepted norms that just haven't changed. Ultimately, buy it because it�s just plain fun. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
