## What is Grand Theft Auto?

Welcome back to Vice City. Welcome back to the 1980s.

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, a huge urban sprawl ranging from the beach to the swamps and the glitz to the ghetto, was one of the most varied, complete and alive digital cities ever created. Combining open-world gameplay with a character driven narrative, you arrive in a town brimming with delights and degradation and given the opportunity to take it over as you choose.

### 5/5 — Отличная игра

*2026-08-15, version 1.8*

Лучше всего портированная игра из трилогии, тут меньше всего багов, но есть минусы: не очень удобная камера, глючный автоприцел, убрали возможность приседать, некоторые другие баги ( у меня случился забавный глюк: когда у меня высветилась табличка осталось 20% заряда, я её закрыл и у меня на ровном месте в машине умер Томми Версетти)

### 5/5 — Welcome to Vice City!

*2026-08-04, version 1.8*

Beautiful game, I would much rather play this than the definitive edition. I love how the game takes place in the 80’s.
The classic cars, music, clothing and overall vibe of the game hits hard. Plus that pink and blue neon theme is gorgeous-overall it is an amazing game, especially for its time. Don’t let the graphics discourage you from playing it. Honestly I think it has a certain charm to it.
Tommy is a funny character too.
