As the lead character, Tommy Vercetti, you can walk, run, jump and travel in vehicles ranging from cars and boats to newly added bikes and helicopters.

Goes without saying really but Vice City is an open world action game, allowing you to roam its large (for the time) city and do whatever you want while also having a core storyline to follow that’s moved forward by playing linear missions that appear on the map. Open world golfing, truly what every GTA player was looking for!

It’s safe to say the Definitive Edition launch was rough, though I am happy to report that I once again didn’t encounter any issues with my play through of Vice City’s Definitive Edition, so I guess the main kinks had been ironed out by patches (or they’re mainly focused on San Andreas…) As for the Definitive Edition, that was released on PS4, PS5, XBOX One, XBOX Series X/S, Nintendo Switch and PC on November 11th 2021. Releasing just a year after GTA III, Vice City was originally conceived as an add-on but it soon became clear it could be so much more, and frankly it’s amazing how much more improved it is over its predecessor given how little time there was between the two.Īs with all PS2 era GTAs it’s been ported all over the place for PC in May 2003 worldwide, on the original XBOX in October 2003 in the US and January 2004 in the UK, for mobile devices in December 2012 and finally versions of the mobile ports were made available on the PS3 and PS4 digital store but were of extremely poor quality. GTA Vice City was released on the PS2 on October 29 th 2002 in the US, with a European release happening a week later on November 8 th that year. Tommy takes aim as the setting sun drips the scenery in red… not bad for the PS2!
