Grand Theft Auto has been giving players action-packed missions and game structures. GTA Vice City was released a year after its previous version became available. Compared to the other one, the minor changes made the gamers interested in the game. 

Another improvement of this new version is games are longer and improved gameplay. As a player, you can now enter and buy the buildings for new missions. New vehicles and weapons are also up for grabs. However, the game design is not as compelling as the previous version. 

Vice City is set in the 1980s setting where you will play a gangster released from 15 years of imprisonment. Your character, Tommy Vercetti, plays the game narratively. 

Situated in Miami, Florida, Vice City is known to be a center of cocaine shipment during these times. In the game, you can respawn at the locations of the hospital which are distributed throughout the entire city. Unlike other games, Vice City has no transit systems. All locations are connected by roads.

Being known as a violent and mature game, Vice City also features humor and pop-culture styles. Other characters from the game are also themed in the 1980s. 

On this version of GTA, failing a mission means you have to start the mission again, doing everything until you successfully finish the mission. As a taxi appears at your starting point, it will drive you to the last mission briefing area at a minimal cost. 

As for the difficulty, it varies differently from mission to mission. On average, playing Vice City is easier than on GTA3. The structure of the missions also changed where you have to do the missions for others. But once you have acquired the town, you will be doing the missions for yourself as you establish your character being the new boss of the town.

Earning money is also a part of the gameplay. Your character needs to purchase properties in order to have a source of income. To collect money from the bought properties, you need to drive around and collect money from those properties. 

Driving controls on Vice City also seemed different from the last versions. Driving speeds are more dangerous and give more adventure. Due to its 1980s setting, cars on the game are looser and easy to get knocked down. Due to this, there are car flipping actions and explosions are experienced in the game. When you shoot a car tire or yours got shot, it would be difficult to control because of the flat tires. Aside from cars, motorcycles become useless once their tires get flat. You will also be doing a mission driving a flat bicycle tire while you are being chased by the town's gangsters. 

The melee weapons department is now available on the new version. Baseball bats, screwdrivers, and machetes are available at the hardware store. Other sets of weapons include explosives, snipers, pistols, and shotguns.

Compared to GTA3, the graphics are cleaner. Plus, the characters in Vice City look better than in the previous versions.
