Step into the neon-lit streets of the 1980s and immerse yourself in the sun-soaked world of crime and excess with "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City" on the PS2. Developed by Rockstar North and released in 2002, this open-world action-adventure game takes players to the fictional Vice City, a vibrant and decadent metropolis inspired by Miami.

As Tommy Vercetti, a former mob hitman, players navigate a sprawling cityscape filled with palm trees, beaches, and iconic landmarks. Set against the backdrop of a gripping narrative rife with betrayal and ambition, Tommy rises through the criminal underworld in pursuit of power and revenge.

"Vice City" builds upon the success of its predecessor, "Grand Theft Auto III," introducing a more detailed and immersive world. The '80s-inspired soundtrack, reflective of the era's music scene, and the inclusion of renowned voice actors contribute to the game's nostalgic atmosphere.

The gameplay offers a mix of driving, shooting, and exploration, allowing players to undertake a variety of missions or simply indulge in the freedom of an open-world sandbox. With its engaging narrative, memorable characters, and a soundtrack that encapsulates the spirit of the '80s, "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City" on the PS2 remains a classic in the GTA franchise, inviting players to relive the decadence and danger of a bygone era.

Not your typical WoS game, but we all loved this franchise in our teenage years.

We follow Tommy Vercetti in his rise to become the next Scarface in Vice City.

1. No cheats inputs!
2. No save and reloading between deaths. The only save and reloading permitted is between segments if you split your run up. If you die and its not a run killer and you're planning on finishing that segment make sure to save post Busted/Wasted so you don't give yourself an advantage over your competitors.
3. This is a 1cc run, 1 credit is determined by 3 lives (Busted and Wasted, mission fails do not count towards this but dying as part of failing the mission does) so you have 3 attempts before having to reset the run from the beginning.

Progress is measured by Story missions completed (those missions with Letters on the mini map) Tiebreakers: Wasted and Busted Additional tiebreaker: Side missions completed. Time limit: 5 hours

There are 38 story missions, 19 asset missions, 6 racing missions, 5 phone missions, 3 stadium missions, 4 off-road missions, 3 remote-controlled missions, 1 sparrow mission, and 8 side missions for a total of 87 missions. Bare in mind some of these side stuff especially the property buying stuff unlocks story missions.

Good luck, and may the odds be ever in my favour...

It's the TV movie of the year -- the Vice City Story!

Booze , drugs , guns , lies , blackmail and laughter.

To my knowledge, this was our first step into the PlayStation wilderness, and what a curveball it has thrown! We've seen wheel vets struggle whilst new challengers have stepped up to the challenge with aplomb. This is a race that is far from over, much like our venture into Sony's backlog.

Congrats to our top 3, which (to my knowledge) is the first time one of the wheel's progenitors has failed to podium! Are we being left behind? Is this our fate, to look as success eludes us more and more?!
