Review

  • Warning: Spoilers
    I am a big fan of grand theft auto also known as gta. I got gta 3 in pc like 6 years ago and i loved pretty much every aspect of it. After 1 year i got vice city and it was way better than the previous title. It had bikes, scooters and helicopters and various gameplay fixes and a way better story and most important of all a talking protagnist. I got liberty city stories recently and it was a huge letdown from the big title Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The story was similar to very much of gta 3 and there was not that much foreshadowing in the story comparing to gta 3. When i played vice city stories on psp the charactar was very moral and wanted to avoid crime in all cases. The game has an amazing story and is very 80"s miami, it takes place in 1984. The antagonist jerry martinez is very crooked and is considered as an evil antagonist. The game has a new mechanic that makes us take over businesses which combines the vice city"s asset missions and san andreas"s gang war mechanic. It is a revelutionary mechanic and i dont know why it is not on other open world games. They are very funny (querky) lines from charactars from vice city like umberto robina, lance vance (protagnist"s brother), Ricardo Diaz etc.. The gameplay is very nice overall. And the best part of this game is that we can swim (temporarily). The 2nd best part there is there is an actual celebrity from real life. PHIL COLLINS! One of the best missions (In The Air Tonight) where he plays his famous song in the air tonight where we have to defend him from georgio forelli"s guards because his stupid manager didnt pay the money back to georgio forelli. But there as some things i dont like about this game like (not being able to buy houses like san andreas and not being able to swim underwater). But i understand the original vision of the game because it was a portable game and to reduce the budget of the game. Outside of that , the game is outstanding. Thereby, i conclude this review saying that this game is a great representation of miami in 80"s.
