King of Snake Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 "From the decade of big hair, excess and pastel suits comes a story of one man's rise to the top of the criminal pile. Vice City is a huge urban sprawl ranging from the beach to the swamps and the glitz to the ghetto and is the most varied, complete and alive digital city ever created. Combining non-linear gameplay with a character-driven narrative, you arrive in a town brimming with delights and degradation and are given the opportunity to take it over as you choose. Pop stars, real-estate developers, politicians, trailer trash: everyone is moving to Vice City to find out what makes it the number one growth city in America. But, as you'll quickly find out, trust is still the rarest of commodities. Vice City offers vehicular pleasures to suit every taste. For the speed enthusiast, there are high-performance cars and motorbikes. For the sportsman, a powerboat or a golf buggy lets you enjoy the great outdoors. For those that need that sense of freedom and escape, why not charter a helicopter and see the beauty of Vice City from the air? As the party capital of America, you would expect your ears to be seduced by a host of sultry melodies and pumping beats, but you'll be amazed as you sweep the through Vice City's FM dial. Tune into some driving rock, some crucial electro or maybe you want to slow down with some sweet soul--and there'll always be some great romantic anthems if you want to really take your mind off things. For the action man or the outdoors type, there're tons of fun things to do and adventures to be had. For the secretive or creepy type, Vice City is full of surprises; a place where you'll constantly be surprised by the vivacious, fun-loving types who live there and the things you can discover." - Rockstar Games Some facts: - - - - - - - - - - - GTA3 - - - - - - Vice City Weapons - - - - - 15 - - - - - - - - - 40 Vehicles - - - - - - 50 - - - - - - - - 120 Hrs of Music- - - 3.5 hours - - - - 9 hours Voice-overs - - - 2000 - - - - - - - 8000 - You can now enter buildings - Auto-targetting and instant lock-on - Features martial arts moves - Motorbikes are included, as are golf-carts! - Improved police and citizen AI - All inhabitants are fully skinned and more varied - You can duck for cover behind benches and walls - Tyres can be shot out - Pizza delivery mini-game included - Twice the size of Liberty City, and all accessible from the start - Voice-acting from over 20 Hollywood actors, with the main character voiced by Ray Liotta! - Over 90 songs licensed from the 80s including Judas Priest, Blondie, Flock of Seagulls, Kool and the Gang, Hall and Oates, Grandmaster Flash, Cutting Crew and more!

The NZA Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 Spiffy - if its a greatest hit title now (like Tursimo 3) youll get less. I dunno, it looks great, soundtrack's ok, but id wait on a review before trading in GTA 3 m'self. I know it looks badass from here, but just make sure they dont screw up the controls or somethin on it first, that's what id do. The good news is, ive been waitin on GTA 3 to get cheap, and after everyone trades in their copies, maybe i can finally pick it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Snake Posted September 17, 2002 Author Share Posted September 17, 2002 I believe the controls to be the same, just with a few new functions like duck or 'jump out of moving vehicle'! As for trading in GTA3, I wouldn't, I wanna keep both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldier of fortune Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 I don't think i could get rid of GTA 3, its a blast, i have started playing again from the beginning, its so much fun!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Snake Posted September 19, 2002 Author Share Posted September 19, 2002 Ok everyone, get thee to http://www.rockstargames.com/vicecity, there's two trailers, tons of vehicle, character and weapon screenshots and videos! There's character soundclips and just added, the first clips of the radio stations with the returning Lazlow, Toni from Flashback FM and Fernando Martinez! Can't say I've seen many videos, the site's seemingly set up for broadband so my shitty dial-up takes too long, but the stills alone...sweet! The Katana pic's my new wallpaper!!

Jesus_was_Goth Posted October 3, 2002 Share Posted October 3, 2002 Well, I have a preodered copy of Vice City at EB waiting for me to go and buy it. Im probably gonna trade in GTA3 for the 15 dollar thing. Its a great game but I beat it about a billion times now and its a bit boring. So Im concidering Vice City to be an upgrade to an already amazing game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 Taken from Gameforms.com... Grand Theft Auto Vice City soundtracks to unlock codes, more----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rockstar Games has revealed more information on the previously announced GTA: Vice City soundtracks. All seven soundtracks, each centered around a different style of music, will unlock additional sections of the Vice City website.

The NZA Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 By now, i assume a number of you have heard the controversy over GTA: San Andreas' Hot Coffee Mod, allowing (i believe) a pro action replay or similar device to unlock "hidden" sex games. So, the game's MA-17 & off shelves in large chains until a new version without this hidden quest is released. For those curious about digital poon the way i was, here's pics: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
