Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is a 2002 open world action-adventure
video game developed by Rockstar North (formerly DMA Design) in the United
Kingdom and published by Rockstar Games. It is the second 3D game in the Grand
Theft Auto video game franchise and sixth original title overall. It debuted in
North America on October 29, 2002 for the PlayStation 2 and was later ported to
the Xbox, and Microsoft Windows in 2003. It was made available on Steam on
January 4, 2008, and on the Mac App Store on August 25, 2011. Vice City was
preceded by Grand Theft Auto IIIand followed by Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Vice City draws much of its inspiration from 1980s American
culture. Set in 1986 in Vice City, a fictional city modeled after Miami, the
story revolves around psychotic Mafia hitman Tommy Vercetti, who was recently
released from prison. After being involved in a drug deal gone wrong, Tommy
seeks out those responsible while building a criminal empire and seizing power
from other criminal organizations in the city. The game uses a tweaked version
of the game engine used in Grand Theft Auto III and similarly presents a huge
cityscape, fully populated with buildings, vehicles, and people. Like other
games in the series, Vice City has elements from driving games and third-person
shooters, and features "open-world" gameplay that gives the player
more control over their playing experience.
Upon its release, Vice City became the best-selling video
game of 2002. In July 2006, Vice City was the best-selling PlayStation 2 game
of all time. Vice City also appeared on Japanese magazine Famitsu's readers'
list of the favorite 100 videogames of 2006, the only fully Western title on
the list.[3] Following this success, Vice City saw releases in Europe,
Australia and Japan, as well as a release for the PC. Rockstar Vienna also
packaged the game with its predecessor, Grand Theft Auto III, and sold it as
Grand Theft Auto: Double Pack for the Xbox. Vice City's setting is also
revisited in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, which serves as a prequel to
events in Vice City.
