Not bad for a Hot Wheels game, despite their success in the 90's and 2000's they've had a pretty rough run the last 10 years so it's nice to see an actually enjoyable game with the brand name attached. Lots of fan favourite cars make a cameo appearance and more are always being added thanks to the supported updates being released almost monthly. Career is a decent length but after that it's a struggle to find other things to do aside from play online, game is being frequently updated though so maybe more events or expansions will be added over time. Overall a good game, definitely worth it on sale.

One of the best stories in a video game to date. Its compelling story is probably what this game and the rest of the titles in the series are best known for but the original has the best of all three by far, it's a beautiful yet tragic tale of a Taxi Driver turned Mafioso Capo working his way up through the ranks of an Italian crime family during the 1930's, the atmospheric feel is enveloping and you become entirely involved in both the time period and the characters. The city of Lost Heaven is massive especially for a game of its age, I was genuinely impressed by its size and detail upon my initial playthrough. There are a plethora of weapons at your disposal to help you take out rival family members, Colt 1911's and Thompson 1928's galore and the game offers you the opportunity to obtain countless classic automobiles from throughout the decade.

Overall a very worth while purchase, such a classic game and after its 5 year absence from steam from 2012 to 2017 it's great to have it back and available to all once again. Cannot recommend this game enough, an absolute must play.

"Vice City is 24K gold these days."

The most underrated game of the GTA series. Vice City really is a great game. Like GTA III, Vice City has aged extremely well, still being tons of fun and interesting after 15 years. The addition of a protagonist with a working voice box was very well received and overall Tommy is a pretty cool character (with an impeccable sence of style.) The story is a step up from III's as well, you still go from rock bottom to owning the entire city, as you do in III and SA, but this time there's a drive, there's a proper backstory. Yes, it's mosty revenge but there's also some rebellion, some curiosity and some betrayal. Or, more simply put, It's Scarface the game... Before Scarface got it's own game. The city is arguably the most atmospheric of all the cities in the series, perfectly suiting the time period. And the soundtrack, oh man, the BEST soundtrack of any game, ever, period. The music and the different channels are so well done and there are 80's jams for days.

A marvellous way to follow up III and not bad for only a years work. Truly a video game masterpiece. But then again, did you really expect anything less?

With now over 100 hours of my life spent in this game I can safely say that Grand Theft Auto III is one of my all time favourites.

Playing the game for the first time in February 2016 I was surprised at how much I was enjoying the game despite it's age of 15 years. The missions were unique and exciting, the characters were quirky and humorous and even now I'm still exploring the open world. The feel of the gritty underworld of Liberty City is displayed perfectly, like in GTA 2, you're working for pretty much every gang in the city for at least 3 missions, giving a refreshing change of missions style every once in a while. And reaching 100% game completion will give you plenty of play time.

I'll definitely be continuing to play this absolute masterpiece of gaming history for many more hours to come and I'd recommend it to any players who are breaking into the open world genre or to any people who want to play some classic games.
