Grand Theft Auto: Vice City for PlayStation 2 Videos >>
Summary I'll say it right now: This is absolutely the best game I have ever played. This is how the story goes. You are Tommy Vercetti, a man who has just gotten out of jail and is ready to go back to the streets of Liberty City. But your boss, Sonny Forelli, decides it would be bad for business for people to see a convict walking through their neighborhood. So he sends you to Vice City...When Tommy gets to the airport in Vice City, he goes to do a drug deal with some gang members. The deal is set up and the gang members run off with the money. You barely make it into the car of your getaway driver and you speed away. Everyone wants you dead. It is now your job to take over Vice City. Sound The sound is great, also. The tunes are cool and the sound of the cars and bikes driving is very realistic. The guns also sound very good and pedestrians talk. The cutscenes are sweet and Tommy Vercetti actually talks. (Thank you Rockstar!!)Gameplay Gameplay, in the vein of GTA3, is awesome. The cars handle well, the guns shoot well, and the addition of planes, helicopters, and motorbikes is a welcome change.Would you like to Comment?

Like GTA3 it probably has the best replay value of any game ever made. I mean you are just dropped into a city and you can commit random violent acts, get into police chases, fly an apache, I mean this game is just great.I think the ones that gave bad reviews just burned themselves out on playing GTA3. I'll admit that i probably spent more time on GTA3 then Vice City, but i think that's because GTA3 was the first of its kind and everyone was shocked at how much fun it was. I think with the additions of more weapons, lots of nice cars, motorcycles, buying up new property with cash you earn and all the old GTA3 fun they couldn't have made a better game in the next chapter in Grand Theft Auto. Sound 80's music coinciding with the 80's. The decade in which you are in inside Vice City. You might not like 80s rock but it goes along with the game just perfect.To Rockstar: Love your games, but i want my money back for State Of Emergency. I know i'm not the only one. It was a horrible trick making us think a GTA type enviroment where you could riot. It was one of the worst games ever........... Gimme my money! Gameplay So much fun. Although i do understand that it is a lot like GTA3 it's still fun to get into police chases with this new game and do whatever you did in the GTA3. With the addition of motorcycles, helicopters, a plane you can actually control, and lots of different boats there are countless hours of fun in this game.Take it from me I don't think they could have continued the GTA series any better. The bad reviews are from people who tired themselves out on GTA3 Would you like to Comment? Join VideoGameReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member. Summary You play as Tommy Vercetti, a man who just got out of prison and pulled into a drug deal. After they were ambushed, Tommy and his lawyer drive away. Now, Tommy is looking for the guy who took the "stuff" and the money. Tommy also up doing odd jobs to get money to buy weapons.Sound Sounds are superb. From listening to the radio to listening to gunfire, the sound is excelent. If you want kicks, just go around the city and walk by people. Gang members talk about becoming a bigshot someday and civilians talk trash to you. Also, listen after each cutscene before a mission starts. Sometimes you hear what Tommy is thinking when the screen is blank.Gameplay This game is great. If you've played Grand Theft Auto 3, the missions are the same, only better. You also get to find hidden packages, too. There are exactly 100 found across the city. You get a wide selection of vehicles, such as a motorcycle, golf cart, taxi, police cars, and for kicks, a pizza delivery bike. If you have children you don't want to expose to violence or you don't want to expose yourself to violence, don't buy this. This a very violent game. Killing is a prime factor in many missions. Also, don't buy this game if you're not prepared for a challenge. This game can be quite difficult, with gangs and cops that wish you were dead. Poor Tommy.Would you like to Comment?

Summary Finally, a game with the potential to shatter the curse that has plagued all toonshaded videogames since the dawn of time. It is a beautifully made, beautifully rendered, beautifully voice-acted game that plays, well, beautifully.Sly Cooper is the most Charismatic, dashing, and clever Platform hero since Sonic. he and his friends, Murray the getaway driving hippopotamus, and Bently the geeky computer turtle give the game a refeshing flavor. The story is fairly straight forward: as a child, Sly and his family were attacked by the "Fiendish Five," an evil group of, you guessed it, five fiendish felons with a horribly cheesy name. they "ovepowered" his father and ransacked the Cooper home until they found the Theivius Raccoonus, a book written by generation after generation of Cooper Theives. the book was then divided into five peices, one for each fiend, and spread around the Earth. after growing up in an orphanage, he decides to reclaim his birthright by restealing each and every page of the Thevius Raccoonus. to do this you travel from the "Welsh Triangle" to a Las Vegas Casino. All in all, a fun ans scenic ride. Sound There is rarely much to say about sound, unless it has great, or awful voice acting.THe music, first off, is subtle and variable enough so that is doesn't annoy you, but nothing revolutionary. the sound effects are spot on as far as timing goes, and timing is all there is in game. Most sounds are hum-ho, crashes, crunches and slams. The voice acting is what will really grab your ears. From Bently's nervous yappings of "Hey! look a he bones, and slime! eeyuck..." to Murrays Goofy "Look out Sly!!" and SLy's swaggering "swing, jump climb, come on guys I've done this a million times," you'll be laughing, grinning, or doing whatever it is the guys at Suckerpunch wanted you to do. In case you haven't gotten the message, I'm definetly looking forward to Sly Cooper 2. Gameplay Sly Cooper takes the classic Jump-n-smack platform formula through a Metal Gear Solid/Splinter Cell evolution. Sure you can run through smacking evey octopus/dog/rabbit/slug that moves with your, erm, cain, but if you can pull off insanly sweet moves, leaving the ever vigilant guards totally blind to your presence, you'll feel like the slickest Raccoon in the World.Another beautiful aspect of the gameplay is the Alarm systems. at first its simple: motion sensing lasers, spotlights, the like. soon pressure sensing floors will give you some trouble, followed by randomly moving inch high lasers, forcing you find gaps in the shrinking and stretching gaps in a giant checkerboard, where on slip could mean death. Or, a simple restart-from-save-point, depending on your emotional involvement in the game. Would you like to Comment? Join VideoGameReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member.

Summary Ok, first I'd like to give a brief commentary on those who chose to use playstation2 game reviews to post system war opinions: There are forums for posting your fanatacism over your non-PS2 systems. Why not use those? Personally, I look upon other systems with perhaps slightly more horsepower and liken them to a high school cutie who stuffs her bra... lots of eye candy without much substance. People have been talking down the PS2 since it was launched. Remember those accusations that it was too hard to program for and it would be dead faster than the Sega 32X? That chatter seems to have died down hasn't it? Popularity and longevity are key to a system.. more so than how many pixels available per sec. With popularity comes the best games. Games like GTA Vice City.GTA 3 and Vice City are prime examples for why I bought a PS2 in the first place. I'm a grown-up gamer, I like grown-up games. Vice City is very grown up and even has some shock value considering the fact that I once played Spyro the Dragon with the same controller. It's a worthy successor to the original GTA3, in my opinion one of the best 5 video games of all time. If they were to keep making games like this for the next couple of years, graphic enhancements or not, I'd probably keep buying them. Sound Excellent. The voice acting, and for that matter the scripts are great. Having your main character talk to everybody like he is a bad-ass Ray Liotta type is nice although I do miss the silent dude in GTA3 who just took orders, then went out and took care of business. Still, change is good.The 80's soundtrack is fantastic in my opinion and the car sounds are good too. Once again the available talk radio stations are a riot. Gameplay This is a fun game to play. Much like a newer version of Madden Football, this game enhances play without revolutionizing it. The reason? It doesn't need a whole lot of change. There are some key features this one has: The targeting system for one is a tad better (if not familiar, I'm talking about the way you blow peoples heads off with a variety of weapons... this was a little confusing in GTA3 at times) The motorcycles are kind of a neat addition to the items one can carjack and the wrecks are a little more real now with some of them throwing your guy from the vehicle and causing him damage.I've only begun to play this game and if I know Rockstar games, there will be hours of entertainment with some surprises for me later on.

You are in the 80's doing mob missions to take over Vice City (Miami, Flordia). This game has ho's, cool cars, and tons of missions what more could you ask for?Sound The sound is great 80's music stations from chat radio to RAP old school tons of radio here! Tons of car sounds all cars don't sound like Weed Eaters here. This game has tons of voice no text thats what rules.Gameplay Gameplay is great they upgraded the targeting mode in this game compared to GTA 3. Then you get to rack up your money and buy places in the city so you get more missions. All cars control differently.Would you like to Comment?

Summary GTA Vice City is a good title but for the people who like racing and not shooting will probally dislike the idea. My friend bought GTA Vice City and the day after he got it I went over to his house waiting for a great racing game. I was so wrong and boredSound The sound is better than average but nothing special.All in all GTA Vice City is more recommended for the shooting fans and not recommended for the racing fans. If you want a racing game go out and buy Burnout 2 or even go out and Buy Driver and Driver 2. Playstation fans are so stupid. They say there system is the best but they never give any other system a chance like the Gamecube, XBOX, and Dreamcast. PS - If you don't have a PS2 your cool. And if you have a Gamecube or Xbox your awesome. Wait for Midnight Club 2 for the XBOX and Driver 3 for the Gamecube. Gameplay GTA Vice City plays ok but come on make a more fun racing game instead of a gay shooting/driving game. My friend loves this game but I hate it so much. Once I called him up and I said I bought BURNOUT 2 for my Gamecube. He said "OOO". He says he likes racing games come on Burnout 2 is way cool. Well for the gameplay the car control is average but way to realistic. The analog stick used for shooting has a big dead spot. Only cool part about this game is the ability to run over people and watch them bleed. Other than that the gameplay just stinks.Would you like to Comment?

And nowadays, it would be nothing. We've seen worse things now, SoF for example. But then came GTA: Vice City, and took the lead again. Shooting of the heads of innocent pedestrians. Picking up a hooker, f*ck her in the car, and when she leaves, run her over and take back your money. Throw molotov cocktails and watch as they catch on fire, running in panic. You just gotta love being sadistic :)Sound Good sound!First of all, the music totally rocks. Well, not all of it, but most of it, and if you don't like the music, change channel and chances are pretty big you find something you like. Soundeffects also work like a charm, especially the choppers sound like they were real. Gameplay It's really much like GTA III, with lot's of things added. Cars are much more fun to destroy now. Doors, tires, windows and much more can be punched, shot or crashed off. You can even shoot someone's head off while he's driving, often causing a major crash. MC's is now also aviable to drive, wich is.. well fun but... not THAT much different from driving a car, except you can now shoot with a Submachinegun straight forward, and you fall off if you crash into something. You can also drive helicopters, wich is really fun. I think there's 4 different choppers, and then of course different types of some of them. I especially like the Hunter, a military Apache chopper with machinegun and dual missiles. ^^Would you like to Comment? Join VideoGameReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member. Summary Please forgive me GTA3, I've fallen in love with your sister, Vice city. She has everything I ever wanted from you but couldn't have. She has more weapons, more vehicles, and more missions. You always used to keep me outside, but Vice city lets me go inside at least 60 different interiors. Vice city's main character Tommy Vercetti is voiced by Ray Liotta from Goodfellas, but your character couldn't speak at all. The targeting system has improved, but still has some of the problems you have. You'll never make me wear the same cloths again! Vice city lets me change cloths whenever I want! Now, she doesn't look a whole lot better than you, but she does have a stylish 80's look that makes your Liberty city look dull and gloomy. Vice city is like a mother to me because her 80's soundtrack containing a couple of Michael Jackson's songs makes me feel like a kid again. Well GTA3, its time for me to move on. Vice city here I come!Sound DidoGameplay Read above, its in there somewhere!Would you like to Comment? Join VideoGameReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member. Summary This was a great game it combined many intresting themes into one game and did a good job at the same time. This game has just about everything to do you can imagine. when i say everything though i mean everything including killing people robbing storesand evil acts. In saying that i deffently would not reccomend this game to anyone under 10 to own anyway, though it's these elements that also make the game more intresting and fun to play.Sound The sound was great when you crashed a car it would make a really realistic crash sound and when you hurt sombody they would make gruesome noises.Gameplay Hmmm well where do i start this is a game that you sorda can do whatever you want. In some cases it's fun enough to drive around in cars and us the new weapons. However if your the kind of person you like to acomplish goals and make money there are always missions to complete which are quiet fun.Would you like to Comment?

Summary When all is said and done, this game is GTA3 with improved graphics, more rides, different story, and less freedom to complete the missions, and also, very bad music. I almost feel like they released Vice City just to make up for some of the things they forgot in GTA3(helicopters, planes, motorcylces, improved graphics, etc.)so the dorks out there will be satisfied and stop complaining. I'm kinda disappointed with this game. I mean, I can play GTA3 for hours but after 45 minutes of Vice City, I stick GTA3 back in the PS2. GTA3 is "Scarface" and Vice City is "The Knockaround Guys"...both are good(to me anyway)but we all know which is better.Sound Where should I start? If you hate 80's music(like I do), then you'll be turning off the music before you even complete the first mission. It's kinda nice hearing Fernando Martinez(from the interview with Lazlow in GTA3)but the KCHAT channel tries too hard to be funny like the people on Chatterbox. I loved the people on Chatterbox, they were so funny and they didn't seem like they were trying too hard but, on KCHAT, you get to listen to a boring 5-10 minute conversation with a dumb girl who hardly says anything. She's basically a dumb cheerleader trying to be funny with people who try to be funny. I either listen to KCHAT(as disappointed as I am), Emotion, or turn the damn thing off(which happens most of the time and that's when I play Korn, Tool, etc., in my cd player. Some pedestrians are funny but pretty much the same thing from GTA3 with a more realistic approach.Gameplay I like the variety in the missions and what I hate is the straight approach to completing them. In GTA3, like the mission where you have to kill Salvatore...you can either follow him, wait for him at his mansion, or snipe the bastard as he's coming out of Luigi's. In the case of Vice City, if that mission applied to this game, they would want you to follow him or 'mission failed' comes across the screen. They still give you the freedom in the game to do whatever you want but not when it comes to missions, very disappointing. Buying property is the only real innovation here.Would you like to Comment?

Summary This Game Is far the best action game out there.I havn't played it that much because about 2 weeks after i bought the game my ps2 started messing up and it would freeze the game about every 3 min. and there were no scratches on the game so i sold my ps2 because i didn't feel like getting it repaired.But anyway this game is great if u wanna let off steam just go down a street find a shotgun and start shooting people.Its fun trust me and i like the cars in this game alot better than GTA3 which is a extremely good game as well.Sound The sound is good although i like the radio on GTA3 betta because it had betta rap stations but overall i will give this a 5.Gameplay The gameplay is fast and well paced and theres always something new to do.The cars are fast(most of them)and i like the new vehicles.There are lotz of different weapons from a knife or baseball bat to a rocket launcher.There are a good amount of safe houses.Would you like to Comment?

Summary Gta is a great series dont let anyone tell u different. Ive played all the games for at least 60 hrs. I admit im a game freak but these are the best games created. Some companies try and create spin and it was the worst thing that could happen with the getaway.(crappy game it just sucked). another thing i admit is that rockstar is getting a little bit bloody but its still fun. also chainsaws are really pushing it. and yet the GTA series pulled through.focusing on more of VC, it is a great game the sound is slightly worse but not as bad as other people say it is. Sound also like i said sound is good and not as bad as people say. The music and styles of hair and clothes definatly bring back memoriesGameplay Gameplay is excellent. running around is still an ok thing in the game. Driving is better. I want to get in some drivebys. graphics are good and sound is good and everything really is good(when i say good i mean basically the best it can get).Would you like to Comment?

Summary Who says crime doesn’t pay?The most anticipated game of 2002 has been released, the sequel (more of a prequel) to the over night cult classic game of the year, Grand Theft Auto 3. GTA3 was the first of the previous 3 GTA titles to go 3-D on the PS2 in 2001 and become one of the greatest and most innovative action/adventure titles on it. The GTA title alone has taken most gamers with a PS out of their morally innocent parent’s homes and perfect societies and thrown them in a world where crime is the only way to make a name for yourself, and a lot of fun at that. The title is famous for its easy as 1-2-3 car jacking game play and its “ain’t nutin but a thug” theme, and Vice City is all that in a retro 80’s setting. While GTA3 was set in a modern day district with a number of fashions and cars recognizable with the 90’s, Vice City takes place around 10 years before GTA3, that means you’ll be pimping big time in a Don Johnson styled Miami district in your retro Halston suit while your “breaking the law” with an 80’s soundtrack featuring bands like Judas Priest to Blondie. In this installment you’ll play as Tommy Vercetti (voiced by Ray Liotta from the famous mobster movie Goodfellas), a cold blooded wise guy who was just released from the big house with intensions of becoming the richest name in Vice City through a method of organized crime that sends him in through gang wars, whack jobs, and eventual real-estate monopolies. Tommy, sent by the gang lord Sonny Forelli, eventually uses up Vice Cities most valuable resources to build his own empire like up and coming porn star Candy Suxx (voiced by real life porn sensation Jenna Jameson) and his hot shot, street assailant Lance Vance (voiced by Philip Michael Thomas). Tommy later learns that his business is more powerful than he ever expected and with power comes deceit and trust problems as it seems everyone from gangsters to his own partners want a piece of his empire, not to mention Sonny who feels that letting Tommy out of prison entitles him to a percent of his profits, somewhere around the margins of….100%! Though very similar to GTA3, Vice City has a brighter/more beautiful environment taking you from the crystal clear banks of Vice City beaches to the ghetto stricken suburbs of Little Haiti, a wider range of cars taken from over 150 80’s models, and much more goals and crazy suicidal missions to keep you playing for weeks if you dare take the GTA challenge of completing 100% of the game as shown on your menu. I have heard a bunch of people dissing this game that worshiped GTA3, I think if this game came out before GTA3 they would be saying the exact opposite though, but this game was not a disappointment to me at least. Vice City has no major issues besides being band in most households with kids younger than 13 (for a good reason too.) and stood as one of the best games of the year. This game is a one of a kind trip to a not-so-distant past many remember living in and has a little something for all types of gamers, racing fans should dig the endless supply of cars and ton of racing missions you stumble upon, action shooting fans should also be pleased running around in the no limit shooting range we call Vice City with an arsenal of machine guns and Molotov cocktail bombs, and if nothing else, you could spend days cruising around Vice City with nothing else to do but go on an all out apocalyptic rampage destroying everything in your way from gangs to the national army in helicopters, motorcycles, and armored vehicles galore! This game is like playing out the hit gangster movie Scarface, everything from the plot twists to the Vercetti mansion reminds us of the horrors of Columbian crime life Al Pacino portrayed oh so well as Tony Montana. So overall, this is one game that shouldn’t be missed by anyone with a PS2, same goes for GTA3 as well, they are the games you recently bought the system for considering this little gem is only for the PS2! (Thank god too because PS2 seems to be loosing some of its key titles in the future.) Sound Blasted from the past!Without a doubt, the sound has gotten a much needed upgrade for a game that centralizes around a time period’s attitudes and musical trends. In GTA3, you play as a character that doesn’t even deserve a name because he doesn’t talk or react in any real situation, he has no personality and yet seems to be able to hook up with the godfather’s daughter, make secret packs with various gang ring leaders, and become a marked man on other gang leader’s hit lists. In this game not only do they give the main character a dirty little mind of his own, but they get some of the top movie stars of today like Ray Liotta and Burt Reynolds to do their voices. Another key element in Vice City, compared to any game, is the huge soundtrack that captures the essences of the glam bam 80’s. In the GTA3 we were forced to listen to an original soundtrack of unmentionable make-believe artists on various radio stations as we were being chased by the man in our banshees, but in Vice City, the 80’s come alive through you favorite and least favorite real life artists. Unlike most any other games, the soundtrack has something for all of our tastes, whether you like the pop sensations like Michael Jackson, emerging rap artists like Grandmaster Flash, hair metal hits like Motley Crue, or even some original talk radio programs that can amuse us or give us hints through out the monstrously confusing Vice City. The sound effects haven’t really gotten too much of an upgrade from GTA3, and the sound of car collisions are still a bit unrealistic, but the sudden sound of a copper’s siren on your tail, echoing boom of a magnum, and funny little one-line reactions you get from the citizens of Vice city are enough to fulfill your gang banging fantasies. Gameplay Its extremely difficult to describe the gameplay in less than 3000 characters with total coverage because, well, lets just say that you’d need to save up all of your sick days and play it for maybe a week to complete it 100% as not to take up your personal life for the next two months or so! Your main mission in Vice City is to turn this town in to your own personal cabbage factory if you know what I mean. Remember money talks, and it seems to be better educated than most of the gangsters in this game because it finds its way to you by anything from murder to briefcases to even collisions. Like GTA3, the best and most amusing way to rake in the moola is to get “contracts” from various gang leaders you meet from the beginning and run in to through out the game, though the main storyline has you working with Alex Shrub and various other “assistants” they are all chained to. But you could also get large bundles of money through other small time gang related contracts like the Haitians, Cubans, or even managing businesses like a taxi company, ice cream truck scandal, and even a late night kitten club! (Meow!)Next on our list of get rich quick schemes are the suicidal missions, there are mass murder (skull) icons that like in the other GTA’s give you time limits and a fun new toy to go on a killing spree with a cash bonus if completed, there are races and hidden stunt jumps if you can snatch a fast ride, and of course there are 100 hidden packages full of the green stuff for you to uncover. As for your arsenal in Vice City, you get about 12 different weapons of mass destruction and two different types of each fire arm, so make that about 20 different weapons in this seemingly harmless City. And then there is the transportation in Vice City, most people would say the one thing GTA3 should have had was the ability to fly, but the closest you can get to that is a grounded little plane called the Dodo. Well unlike Liberty City, Vice takes you to the end of the world without needing to make freak landings for gas, which means that copters are now open for your enjoyment! Not only that but now you can travel the mean streets of Vice in 2 wheelers ranging from mopeds to Harleys. Of course you can still rip off any vehicle occupied or not, but now they give you the option of bailing out of your vehicles in the heat of the moment, but the collisions are still pretty cheap, you can now collide your 2 wheelers with a truck and still be on the hog! Overall there is a number more of things you can do in Vice City, you’ll just have to find them out for yourself. Would you like to Comment?

Summary Your tires are popped, the whole police force is on your back, helicopters are buzzing around you like crazed wasps and for a moment you think the odds are against you. You bale out of the car at full speed and roll across the road, your're still alive. The cops have opened fire now, taking cover behind their cars. Whipping out your mini gun you don't even hear them scream. An evil grin spreads across your face as bodies are shredded apart and cars explode in a mess of charred metal. This is Grand Theft Auto... Vice City! This is a game that will engross you in a living breathing world for hours. Anything you've ever wanted to do in real life but haven't because of real life consequences, you can do in this game. Steal a station wagon with passangers in the passangers in the back screaming, crash into motorcyclists and watch their bodies spin through the air. Pull out a chainsaw and relive the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Heck,you can even take part in a motorcross race rings of fire and all. Become a pizza delivery boy, visit the mall and buy a nice suit and a hotdog, i'm not kidding you can do it all. This is what GTA3 should have been, this is a game that DMA design have crafted with the gamer in mind. This is Grand theft auto at its best. Experience it!Sound Sound in this game is good eneough to have created 8 albums for retail sale. Music is wonderfully selected from the 80's (that's right real artists), such as Micheal Jackson, Megadeath and even Black Sabbath. Whatever your tastes there will be a radio station for you, which also host hilarious adds and talkshows. Environment sounds are very similar to GTA3, which isn't a bad thing and pedestrians still say their quirky lines. But what really won me over was the voice acting of the main characters as unlike GTA3 your character actually talks. We're talking hollywood quality voice acting here and it shows. This game is brilliant!Gameplay Did you like Grand Theft Auto 3? Did you like having the freedom to travel where you wanted to? Well Vice City is Grnad Theft Auto 3 just 20 times bigger and better. Vice City's gameplay has not changed drastically from GTA3 but it has made significant improvements. The game is still played from a 3rd person perspective which works well. Tageting enemies is now a lot more fluid as the camera now moves to an over the shoulder view. Also the game will now target enemies that are more of a threat than others so you won't be caught randomly targeting an old woman while a thug is hacking away at you with a rocket launcher. Missions are now a lot more fun with bigger environments and crazy challenges, like stealing a tack being paraded down the road guraded by half the cities armed forces. Add to this more vehicles (including motorbikes and helicopters!), more missions, indoor environments and more killer weapons, you have a must buy title.Would you like to Comment?

My input is simple and to the point. Buy this Game. If you aren't sure if its for you, then guess what, its probably not. But if you enjoy things like running down cops with your car, or beatin' up ho's, or slice'n and dice'n golf cart drive'n yuppies with a samuri sword, this is the game to end all video games. You will never again have any need for the eject button on the front of your PS2 (unless of course it doubles as your DVD player, then you'll need it to play your porn) because you'll never want to stop playing.Sound They have a soundtrack, need I say more? I do? OK, how about the fact that the two leading characters are the voices of Goodfella Ray Liotta, and the guy who played Tubbs on Miami Vice.Gameplay The best. | |||||||||||||||
