Rockstar Games Presents Grand Theft Auto: Vice City for Sony PlayStation 2 and PC. Overview Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is the second 3D game in the series and sixth original title. It features more of the same sand-box action-adventure gameplay with a new 1980s setting, new characters, new weapons and much more.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Official Soundtrack Box Set is a seven-disc compilation CD box set containing music from the video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, each disc representing one of the game's seven music radio stations. It was released internationally on October 29, 2002. As well as the complete box set, the seven CDs were also released for purchase individually.

European editions of several of the CDs contain extra songs that are not found on US pressings (some of these songs do not actually appear in the game itself). Although the majority of the music from the game is included on the soundtracks, most of the CDs do not feature every song heard on the relevant radio station — in the US, only the Emotion 98.3 CD is complete, while in Europe the Emotion 98.3 and Fever 105 soundtracks are complete.

In addition to music, each CD also includes several specially-recorded DJ tracks containing dialogue from the station's host and station idents, plus two radio commercials heard in the game. With the exception of the Wildstyle disc, the final commercial track on each CD additionally contains an unlisted DJ talk segment hidden after a lengthy pause, containing further humorous dialogue from the station host (which typically results in their being fired or storming out of the recording studio).

The two talk radio stations heard in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (KCHAT, VCPR) did not receive a CD release and as such have never been released outside of the game. A Greatest Hits compilation CD was also released in North America the following year, containing a selection of songs from the full set plus the 'Theme from Vice City'.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (also referred to as GTA Vice City, Vice City and GTAVC), is the second game in the 3D Universe.

GTA Vice City is set in Vice City, Florida, in 1986, and concerns the exploits of protagonist Tommy Vercetti as he rises to become Vice City's major criminal power. The game's events follow on from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.

Designed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games, it debuted in North America on October 27, 2002 for PlayStation 2 and quickly became the best-selling video game of the year. Following this success, GTA Vice City saw releases in Europe, Australia and Japan, and became available on PC and Xbox. Later, Rockstar Vienna packaged the game with its predecessor, GTA III, and sold it as the Grand Theft Auto: Double Pack for Xbox, and finally it debuted for iOS and Android December 6, 2012 as a celebration of its 10-year anniversary. As of April 2015, GTA Vice City is the fourth best-selling PlayStation 2 game of all time in the United States. GTA Vice City also appeared on the Japanese magazine Famitsu's readers' list of 100 all-time favorite videogames in 2006.

It uses a tweaked version of the Renderware game engine used by GTA III, and similarly presents a huge cityscape, fully populated with buildings (from hotels to skyscrapers), vehicles (cars, motorcycles, boats, helicopters, and planes) and people.

Storyline

From the official site:

Capture It - A simple screen capture utility for Blackberry devices for BlackBerry Bold 9700 (RIM Onyx) Software Free Download. Free download capture it for bb 9300.

'Welcome to Vice City. Welcome to the 1980s.
Having just made it back onto the streets of Liberty City after a long stretch in maximum security prison, Tommy Vercetti is sent to Vice City by his old boss, Sonny Forelli. They were understandably nervous about his reappearance in Liberty City, so a trip down south seemed like a good idea. But all does not go smoothly upon his arrival in the glamorous, hedonistic metropolis of Vice City. He's set up and is left with no money and no merchandise. Sonny wants his money back, but the biker gangs, Cuban gangsters, and corrupt politicians stand in his way. Most if not all of Vice City seems to want Tommy dead. His only answer is to fight back and take over the city himself.'

After being released from prison, Forelli Crime Family overlord Sonny Forelli sends Tommy Vercetti to Vice City in order to gain profit off the uprising of the drug trade in the city.

After arriving in Vice City, Tommy, Harry and Lee are introduced to Ken Rosenberg who is tasked with driving them to a drug deal with the Vance brothers. But the deal is ambushed and one of the brothers along with Harry and Lee are killed and the money and cocaine are stolen.

After Tommy and Rosenberg discuss what they plan to do, Tommy calls Sonny and tells him the deal was a setup. After some hostile words, Sonny agrees to let Tommy handle the situation while Rosenberg tells Tommy about Juan Cortez, a retired colonel who helped set up the deal. After meeting him, his daughter Mercedes Cortez introduces him to the many of the more popular guests including Vice City's largest drug baron Ricardo Diaz at the party before asking him to take her to the The Pole Position Club.

Rosenberg then tells Tommy that Kent Paul may know what became of Tommy's merchandise and Paul tells Tommy that Leo Teal may know what happened. Tommy confronts Teal and beats him to death before being confronted by Lance Vance, the third survivor in the botched deal. Tommy and Lance form an alliance and vow to get the money and drugs back.

Rosenberg then introduces Tommy to Avery Carrington, a property developer. Avery gives Tommy work and in exchange offers to protect Tommy from any threats to his operation.

Tommy is then offered some work from Cortez, who has Tommy kill Gonzalez, a former right-hand who is responsible for botching the deal. Tommy kills Gonzalez and goes for more work. He runs into Lance again and the two watch over a drug deal between Diaz' Gang and the Cubans. But the Haitians ambush the deal as Tommy, Lance and Diaz are forced to fight back and afterwards Tommy is offered work from Diaz.

During his work for Diaz, Lance learns that Diaz' gang were the ones who ambushed the deal and killed their associates. Tommy however plans to gain Diaz' trust before attempting to kill him. Lance loses patience and secretly attempts to kill Diaz, but he fails and Tommy is forced to rescue him. With their cover blown, Tommy and Lance head to Diaz' mansion and kill him. With Diaz dead, Tommy is given more opportunities to take over the town.

Tommy ends up buying many businesses and expanding on his business. But Lance begins to feel under appreciated, causing a rift between him and Tommy. Meanwhile, Sonny loses patience and personally comes to Vice City to claim his money. Tommy plans ahead and attempts to give him fake money, but Lance betrays Tommy, reveals the plan to rip off Sonny and the Forellis attempt to kill him. Tommy kills Lance and then Sonny and is ultimately wounded in the chaos. Tommy then makes Rosenberg his right-hand man.

Setting and Influences

GTA Vice City is arguably the most heavily influenced Grand Theft Auto game, taking inspiration from a wide range of classic 1980s movies, television programmes and music.

Perhaps the closest real-life counterpart to GTA Vice City is the television series Miami Vice. Aside from the broad-ranging similarities (80's music — including new wave, hip-hop, R&B, soul, glam metal and synthesizer pop — organized crime, drug trafficking, styled cars, pastel clothes etc.), several specific references are included. For example, at a 3-star wanted level or above, the player will be chased by two undercover police officers named Cracker and Butts, who strongly resemble Sonny Crockett and Rico Tubbs, the primary characters from the TV series. Furthermore, these officers drive a VCPD Cheetah, which is itself styled after the 1986 Ferrari Testarossa, Crockett's car in the latter three seasons of the show.

Another direct link to Miami Vice is the inclusion of 'Crockett's Theme,' a piece of instrumental music from the show, on the in-game radio station Emotion 98.3. Many other popular songs that were used in Miami Vice are featured on the game's radio stations, including 'Self Control' by Laura Branigan, 'Turn Up the Radio' by Autograph and 'Missing You' by John Waite. The musical similarities extend to the background score composed specifically for the game — many cutscenes and the end credits feature ambient, synth-heavy tracks very much in the style of Jan Hammer, who provided the background music for the show, while the 'Theme from Vice City' is comparable to Hammer's 'Miami Vice Theme'.

One of the game's primary characters, Lance Vance, is voiced by Philip Michael Thomas, who portrayed Tubbs in Miami Vice. His initial goal in the game — to avenge the death of his brother in a drug deal gone wrong — mirrors Tubbs' objective in the show's pilot episode. Several vehicles and weapons in Vice City are also taken from the TV series, including the Squalo (Sonny Crockett's speedboat), the Stinger (Crockett's Ferrari Daytona, his car for the first two seasons), the Marquis (Crockett's sailing yacht), the Infernus, the Katana (featured during the climax of the episode 'Bushido'), the Stubby Shotgun (Tubbs' signature weapon in the later seasons of the show) and the MAC-10 (a weapon smuggled in the episode 'Evan').

Other more subtle references to Miami Vice appear in the game. For example, during the opening credits sequence, one of the stylized images that appears framing the in-game footage is actually a screenshot from the episode 'Bought and Paid For', showing Nico Arroyo's Lamborghini Countach being chased by Crockett's Daytona. The attire worn by the Cuban and Haitian gangs in the game is taken from two prominent extras in a scene at Miami International Airport in the pilot episode of the show. Also, the game's Hidden Packages, small green 'tiki statues' packed with cocaine, are a reference to the episode 'Milk Run', in which cocaine is smuggled in an identical fashion.

Another significant influence on GTA Vice City is the 1983 film Scarface, starring Al Pacino as Tony Montana. Several in-game locations, such as the mansion that becomes the Vercetti Estate and the Malibu Club, are obviously styled after locations featured in the movie. Elsewhere in the city, there is a hidden apartment containing a chainsaw within a blood-stained bathroom, a nod to Scarface's infamous chainsaw dismemberment scene. The game's final mission mirrors the end of the movie; in both instances, the main character is assaulted by an army of goons at their mansion leading to a large shootout (although Tommy survives, whereas Montana does not). The 'Mr. Vercetti' outfit available from the The Pole Position Club strongly resembles an outfit worn by Tony Montana, and even Tommy Vercetti himself takes many character traits from Al Pacino's character, specifically his short temper, his heavy dealings in the cocaine trade and his desire to rise to the top.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

It is also worth noting that the radio station Flashback FM from Grand Theft Auto III exclusively features songs written for the Scarface soundtrack; the developers acknowledged the film as being a major influence on the overall rise-to-criminal-power theme of that game, and the soundtrack was included as an homage.

Grand Theft Auto Vice City Soundtrack

Other references and influences on Vice City include:

  • Carlito's Way — Ken Rosenberg, Tommy Vercetti's lawyer and adviser, is modelled after Sean Penn's lawyer character from the movie, both in terms of physical appearance and personality.
  • To Live and Die in L.A. — Later in the game there is a money counterfeiting scheme based on the movie. A song from the movie's soundtrack ('Dance Hall Days' by Wang Chung) is also included on the in-game radio.
  • Red Dawn — The 1984 movie about a fictional Soviet invasion of the United States is labelled a 'documentary' in an Ammu-Nation radio advertisement, parodying American attitudes towards communism in the 1980s.
  • Rambo: First Blood Part II — The fictitious film Exploder: Evacuator Part II, an advertisement for which is heard on the in-game radio, is an obvious play on the 1985 First Blood sequel's convoluted title.
  • Village People — A builder, a police officer, a soldier, a firefighter and a biker can be seen dancing on stage in the Malibu Club.
  • Cars associated with 1980s pop culture — Many of the game's vehicles are reproductions of popular/famous vehicles from the time, such as the Deluxo, which is a nod to the DeLorean DMC-12 from Back to the Future, and the Burrito, a reference to the A-Team's van.
  • Pablo Escobar — The city's airport is named after the notorious Colombian drug dealer.
  • Hair Metal — As well as the rock/metal station V-Rock, the fictitious band Love Fist parody several clichés of glam metal bands in the 1980s, such as Spinal Tap and Mötley Crüe.

Trivia

  • This is the first GTA game to feature a speaking protagonist.
  • The logo sequence for GTA Vice City is reminiscent of the Commodore 64 BASIC command prompt, which was common during the time when the game was set.
  • The Commodore 64-like opening of GTA Vice City features the melody of the Grand Theft Auto 1theme song in a vibrant 8-bit tone. It was also the tune for the pager in GTA III.
  • According to Lazlow Jones, Rockstar began working on GTA Vice City only one month after the release of GTA III.
  • All license plates are similar to Florida license plates, an orange logo resembling the state of Florida can be seen on them, some even having the Florida Gators logo.
  • GTA Vice City is the only 3D Universe game not to feature the AK-47. However in the loading art, Phil Cassidy is seen holding one guarding his fort, and it can be seen on the wall of any Ammu-Nation. It was originally meant to appear, but was cut from the final game.
  • GTA Vice City is the second best-selling game of the 3D Universe (being behind Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas) and the fourth best-selling GTA game overall with over 20 million units sold.
  • In an episode of the Fox TV show Family Guy, Peter gets amnesia and Lois wants Peter to play Grand Theft Auto, and the tape that is seen has a logo of GTA Vice City.
  • Some of the GTA Vice City posters have appeared in The Black Eyed Peas' 'Where Is the Love?' music video.
  • On the box art, there is a helicopter in the upper left corner that was never featured or was used for display. It consists of a Maverick-like body with two guns at the front.
  • Between its release in 2002 and recent copies of the game after 2012, out of the entire series, GTA Vice City has undergone the most changes out of any GTA game, with several songs removed and some weapons either removed or amended (for example, Tear Gas is only featured on the original PS2 version released in 2002). For unknown reasons, on subsequent PS2 versions and the PS3 version, the Police Scanner in emergency vehicles plays in slow motion.
    • Also, on the re-released PS2 and PS3 versions, the sound effects for explosions and the Sniper Rifle are replaced with those from Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
