5/10 This game has not aged very well

Some of these missions are really difficult. And not in the fun way the annoying way where it seems most of your inputs had absolutely no meaning to if you were to beat the mission or not.

These super tedious missions are around about the middle of the game however the last couple missions are actually the best in the game. But even finding these is a chore in itself!

It's not just these really unfair missions. Additionally, the game at one point just drops you off with no indication where to go. So you have to search up Youtube tutorials as how would anyone figure this out? Unless you spent thousands of hours walking around the map and finding everything you wouldn't be able to progress at all.

Overall, I still had fun playing this game to the end. If you're bored and wanting to experience this game I advise you do it's still fun despite the frustrations you will have.

Is this a step up from GTA 3? Barely. It suffers from similar issues but at least you can't be softlocked out of missions. But what vice city does with giving you no indication what to actually do just cancels it out with GTA 3.

What should have been a respectful remake of a cult classic ends up feeling rushed and unpolished. Despite multiple patches, bugs persist, and the game falls far below Rockstar’s usual standards.

The visuals are uneven—characters look like wax figures, and the physics feel unrealistic compared to the original. The charm, grit, and personality of the PS2 classic are lost in translation.

At this price point, it’s hard to recommend—fans of the original will be disappointed, and newcomers won’t get the experience they deserve.

removed many features such as modibility, customizing outfit, smoking cigarettes, some of the songs and you cant ditch a helicopter in return of some cartoonish graphics and being able to aim while running with guns cons are way more than cons and in 2025 still has hell of a bugs so i cant wait for gta vi!
