I think it’s the best of the series. It’s not so damn big that it discourages exploration and the city and UI are so pleasant to look at it. Everything after got too gritty and real. Driving out to Paleto Bay is more like American Truck Simulator than GTA.
I was playing the Itchio HTML5 port of GTA:VC up until yesterday. It’s fantastic. But unfortunately it bugs out and crashes on the mainland.
I loaded it up as an adult. The controls are so bad. How did I ever get anywhere?
I prefer VC’s Walking over any new GTA Game. It’s snappy and reactive instead of “realistic”.
I tried playing it on my PS2 the other day, my Dualshock 2 is very beaten down so maybe that’s why, but I do remember the controls being kinda shit across the whole Renderware era for GTA.
Naah, it wasn’t that bad.
Even if avoid discussion about subjective versus objective, there is also context.
Ray Liotta, Michelle Pfeiffer and Al Pacino did a great job.
The soundtrack/score (remember the intro scene) was also very good and has only gotten better with age.
The film is also very stylish.
That covered for the writing, which is its own thing.
It had an all star cast who could make any dialogue sound Oscar worthy.
The main thing I remember from Vice City was the excellent sound track.
Eh, it mostly just riffed on popular crime movies and TV, especially Scarface. San Andreas was funny, but it wasn’t until GTA4 that I’d say the writing was actually good.
GTA2 has under-rated world-building (there is not much writing), it was humourous in many ways, but also subtly dark and dystopian in a way that I don’t think we’ll ever see in GTA again.
Hey Niko, it’s Roman. Let’s go bowling!

IMO it is the worst out of the last few games (SA, Chinatown Wars, IV, V), but I also think that its product of its time. It’s bad in hindsight, but was it actially considered bad back then?
