I am Tommy Vercetti

I played a fair bit of GTA Vice City back in the day round friends' houses, but never played all the way through. Mostly just ran people over, got as many stars as possible and died. Don't get me wrong... I had a blast... but recently thought I'd play through the whole thing.

The game itself holds up amazingly well I think! I am loving cruising around the city, collecting income from businesses, buying new businesses, swapping clothes, spraying cars... committing a lot of grand theft auto. I was pleasantly shocked at how compelling it is to play. I'm playing on my phone with a Razer Kishi too, so I can get my fix anywhere!

If you like the empire building aspect you’d love vice city stories, it nails that and expands on it better than any other GTA, and honestly it very much feels like an expanded version of VC but with all the lessons they learned from SA as well.

My favorite GTA after San Andreas. At least in my memories. I'm wondering if I should play it again. Such a shame they butchered the Remaster.

Yeah I'm playing San Andreas again on the PS2 for like the 4th or 5th time. The radio is peak and the map is an all time great.

Honestly, I'm playing on my phone, and sure there is the occasional glitch, but actually still very much an enjoyable experience.

If I had heard anything positive about the remaster at all, I would‘ve replayed it by now… It‘s an amazing game in my memory but I haven‘t played it in well over a decade. I remember being obsessed with buying real estate and tank racing (shooting backwards propels the tank forward). And trying to fly that weird plane on the airport which was real hard to do IIRC lol

Tank racing is a fond memory of mine too. A friend had a modded PC copy in which you could increase the speed of vehicles too. The backwards tank shots could make you fly! Handling however was exactly how you would expect a canon powered flying tank to handle though...

Can't beat that vice city radio. Hope you still have the full soundtrack in the mobile port.
