  • best game ever !!!

  • That was THE GAME back to have in the year of 2002. I was in high school as a senior about to graduate when this AWESOME game was released...

  • 0:10

  • damn, i remember when i was 6 askin for this game.

  • @ ps2peter,

    neither can I! I remember rushing to buy this on its release day. even pre-ordered it.

  • by far, the BEST grand theft auto ever.....the memories...ugh im gonna play it again, right now.

  • i remember going to my older cousins house playing this on pc and mum cracking the shits as i chainsawed hookers back when i was in grade 3. I would kill to have those days back.

  • i cant belive vice city is nearly 10 years old!

  • 9 years old already...christ. i still remember seeing this commercial on tv and getting really excited.

  • Classic!

  • i remember the day my friend called me up and said DUDE i just saw the commercial for this before you did! i was so mad! >:D

  • I remember playing this game for months on end.

  • This was the first anything i saw of this game ever, it was on one of those demo discs that came with an issue of Playstation mag. My Cousin and I started to make the disc glitch because we kept rewinding and watching the part where Tommy walks into the camera as the song ends. Over and over on our 15 year old (in 2002) 15" t.v with no remote and knobs rather then buttons. It's only been 9 years and i can already say that kids have it too good these days.

  • I got this, winter of 2000 as far as I remember..

  • @spasiklon007 Nope, it was 2004, I couldn't remember if it was 2000 or 2004, but I saw it came out at 2002, so yeah it was 2004.

  • Hope they go to VC for the next GTA... wow, such amazing possibilities for graphical panorama's, storyline could be just as phoenomonal as the original. Imagine the car models, i would keep every vehicle from VC in the next GTA, all great models and imagine how they would be with the more dimensioned handling physics of now. This would be great.

  • My favorite gta out of the series.They should remake this in hd and release it

  • GTA still best game ever with vice city and not only game but music from 80's are best too

  • nothing beats this game's soundtrack and 80s charm.

    san andreas is bigger but this shit had a lot of style.

    and the current gen GTA games are bland as fuck

  • Haha... So do I... Best gta of all time

  • 2002?! wow...i feel old X.X

  • If this game was remade with gta4 graphics, included jumping out while driving, swimming and minus the annoying flying 50ft through the windshield when you crash... It would probably be the only perfect video game. ever.

  • After san andreas, this was my fav. Released alot of stress just killin people.

  • Vice city and San andreas . The best gta games out

  • The graphics did look like crap on the PS2, but they were great on a PC with a decent graphics card. I didn't even play that many missions. I mostly just drove around the city, made impossible jumps with bikes and cars, and played every Mod I could find,

  • @SamusSuperStar  2007 was the best year ever

    that's when my brother and I made (the ultimate) Quertzoid!

  • They should remake it !! For the ps3

  • best gta for sure

  • 6th grade

  • I remember seeing this commercial on TV.

  • Damn....I miss Vice City

    when did that come out for PC? I got it like in 2003 I think?

  • THis was and IS def. One of the BEST GTA's

  • Out of all three I like San Andreas the best. I guess because I got san andreas first. So much for saving the best for last!

  • I still remember this… Its funny cause I didn't get GTA VC until like 2 or 3 years later but somehow, this commercial stuck with me.

  • @bobknot131 lol

  • @Esupikus Well everyone has there own opinion and i respect that

  • @Esupikus TBOGT was better than GTA 4 cause it was funner. GTA 4 wasn't a terrible game it was just a disappointment

  • gta4 didn't suck but it was a disappointment.

  • @boobins66 I agree 1000% dude its nice to meet someone who agrees with me :) thank you

  • @Esupikus Right about the first one, but 2 and 3 on your list sucked ass.

  • Whenever I hear this song on my ipod all I can picture is myself running along south beach shooting a hooker to death and than jumping in the water and drowning cause I cant swim.

    Thank you Flock of Seagulls!

  • i had a Gamermag that had Vice city ad in it and i waited a whole year to get it it came out around november i got it in december

  • I remember it took me forever to convince my parents to let me buy this game....I cant believe that was 10 years ago lol. I feel old.

  • @DeathMetal4Ever1 Ya i know how you feel im barely 17 and looken back at all the amazing games i grew up with......and here we are in 2011 and i feel old as fuck. But i look at the bright side i can start making my own games that put gameplay and making the game fun rather than making it look pretty. I miss the good ole days on the ps2 and n64 and all those other great consoles were graphics didn't matter.....nowadays everyone is such a graphics whore '___'

  • I can't believe this was almost ten years ago.

  • @LWebb1000 I know rite it makes me feel really old "____' And im barley 17 :(

  • this is the first gta game i ever played, i think its the best cuz everytime you fell in water you died, it made it more challenging, even now when i play gta 4 everytime i fall in water im like "aww no! im dead!- oh wait..nevermind...." and everytime my car gets overturned im like "shit! shit! shit! get out!..oh wait...it doesnt blow up..."

  • this game was awesome and the ad too

  • San Andreas is the best !!

  • The best GTA ever made! :)

  • vice city was bomb

  • i play this game everyday :) ive been awake for 9 years

  • My favorite GTA. =D

  • Vice City was amazing. :-)

  • hell yeah @crisgia

  • they really should re release these with updated graphics like they did with god of war, that would be sick

  • who sings this song?

  • @TERMINATOR666X

    I Ran by A Flock of Seagulls.

  • Good times. Takes me back

  • pause and press 2 each time Tommy shoots to help him reload

  • This generation of Black Ops kids don't know what they missed

    Oh those were the days

  • @69salford69 I agree. Its sad really. It seems like nowadays everyones a graphics whore.......i can't wait to make my own games im gonna focus on making it fun rather than making it look preety....... But ya i agree black ops and cod kids in general are just ignorant and think the gaming world evolves around cod and ill be the bigger man and even say halo. These big games sweep other classics that come out under the rug. Its sucks :(

  • @halo6534 good luck mate

    I hope you make your games

  • @69salford69 Thanks man i hope so to. Hopefully i release something within the next 2 years. And thanks for agreeing with me and keeping your comments civil :)

  • vice city > san andreas

  • i think this is easily the best out of them all. san andreas had better content shit like vehicles, weapons, and side shit. but vice city story and characters were definitly the coolest

  • RIP... the past.

  • Bought this game on Steam for $5, worth it

  • im going to buy a ps2 just to play this game

  • jizzed everytime

  • yep good times

  • @jJarrettM16 haha yep defiantly i love gta games and ps2 in general. I've had so much more good memory growing up with these games rather than the overpriced garbage they put out today Its sad but thats the way it is But when i start to make games im gonna prove that games can be fun without 40 mil dollar graphics. All ps2 games proved that games can be amazing with ok graphics But todays gamers are blinded by thinking that if a games graphics suck the game sucks to Last gen games were better :(

  • i remember watching this commercial for the first time on an episode of wwe raw and it got me pumped up. those were great times.

  • i miss dis shit... i couldnt stop playing it...

  • Time Machine please 29.10.2002! ...and delete all my memories to this game!

  • Dear Rockstar:

    Remake this game just like you did with GTA3, and use the GTA4 engine for graphics and more music, cars and other shit.

  • I remember me and my dad playing this when I was in like the 1st grade lol

  • Every time "I Ran" came on the radio while playing the game I felt I had to do something badass just to do the commercial justice.

  • WATS THE NAME OF THAT SONG

    

  • @METALFEST100 crank dat soulja boi by soulja boi

  • @raggedtraveler Wha... are you serious.. he wasent even famouse in the 80's

  • @METALFEST100 It's "I Ran (so far away)" by A Flock of Seagulls.

  • i remember this commercial. :)

  • Ahh, Flock of Seagulls...

  • Back in the day - such good days they were they should remake vice city like how they did with IV

  • best game of the series

  • @whocareslol222222 I liked GTA 3 better. I didnt like the whole 80's theme in general.

  • Wow im 22 years old now soon to be 23 and i must say this game was incredible had it on release day when i was 14...this video gives me chills what an INCREDIBLE game from RockStar as for todays games they are made cheaply and sold for a shit load of money that's why nearly everygame nowa days BLOWS!

  • @callofpaul Sorry, but i have to say, How are todays games shitter? More money and effort is put into TODAY'S games than games back in the PS2 era. More realism, better graphics, better gameplay etc.

    What the hell is wrong with you?

  • @anonymous66136 Pff hardly there were so many more classic on the ps2 and xbox. Cause people weren't graphics whore like the ignorant people today. There focusing way to much on making the game look pretty rather than making it fun. Cause all the fags nowadays think that if a game has shittey graphics then the game automatically sucks dick. :|. Look at all the gta games worst graphics ever.......but some of the greatest games of all time.

  • @halo6534 I'm not being ingorant, I'm being realistic. Of course a game can be good and have under-par graphics, but you can't deny that fact that the visual representation of a game can have a big impact on their sales.

    Let me put it into this perspective. If GTA IV didn't have good graphics (From the time it was released), could you imagine how much worse it would have been, on top of the boring realism?

    Also, just out of curiosity, what made you respond to a 5 month old comment?

  • @anonymous66136 Well to people now adays graphics are everything. But not to me ill play a game even if it has the shittest graphics on earth including minecraft. And there a difference between graphics and art direction and vice city had amazing art direction. Ex. Lighting, texture modules ETC. But the graphics themselfs were not great. Ex facial animations physics ETC. And i didn't say gta 4 suckd im just saying it was a huge disappointment and some of the clunky controls made it hard to play.

  • @halo6534 I agree with your point, and I understand where you're coming from. However, other people have differing opinions too. You look for the gameplay elements in a game, while others look at the graphical features of a game. In the end however, the company isn't going to care what reasons you bought the game for, as long as your money ends up in their pockets.

    In the end, it's all about accepting other people's opinions. Just because one person has a differing view doesn't make them wrong.

  • @callofpaul I agree games aren't that fun anymore. Well at least the majority are. You still get your great games. Like oblivion and other shit. But like you said pretty much all the shit they put out sucks. Cause all they want to do is make a quick buck off of overpriced crap. I hope next gen games fix all the problems that were wronged with this current gen shit. And last gen with ps2 and xbox was the best. But This is by far the worst gaming generation in years. :( its sad

  • @halo6534 Thank you..somebody with actual sense,great minds think alike =]

  • @callofpaul Well of coarse :)

  • The golden age of the PlayStation system.

  • I remember not being old enough to buy this game and now that I can buy the new ones... they suck... VICE CITY FOREVER!!!!

  • lol i waz 13 when this came out???????????

  • @ghtyvn LOL U WAZ???

  • @entropy44 he was excited for it to come out

  • i still have this commercial on tape since 2003.Great times,Great times

  • Flock a fuckin' seagulls!!!!

  • Gr8 mems. Gr8 music. The best GTA days were then.

  • So many memories. Now I'm hyped up about LA Noire!

  • I love gta I mod it all the time so there rly is no end to the fun of this game

  • I like all the GTA's. GTA IV is my favorite though. I thought they really progressed as far as the realism and feel of city life. The GTA's on ps2 were definitely fun, but as time goes on, things need to progress. Not to mention the story on IV was totally unique, not ripping off stories from movies.

  • i remember this game was 100 $ in circus city that game was truly popular when it came out

  • I was too hype to get this game..lol singing to it whenever it came on..

  • BAD ass

  • Comment removed

  • This game RULES! It's fun, and it has a great story line! No matter what the assholes that say it's violent says!

  • Oh my gosh i cant wait until this comes out im gonna be so excitd to get it and play it !!!

  • Thumbs up If Rockstar worked backwards and create GTa 4 first (would be stupid but hey gta vc would be alot of a hell better) am i right? then gta3 would be fucking mind -blowing

  • @Skullrecordz shut the fuck up, stick that thumb up your hole

  • @OnThatPowder Fuck you, you faggot inconsiderate basterd, how dare you criticize something that could have made the gta series alot better, judge yourself stop judging my comments because i thought of it before you did!!!!! xD

  • I remember seeing this on TV i almost shat my pants. brings back good memories.

  • god i remember this commercial like yesterday love the game

  • They should have stopped making games after Vice City. It pretty much wins.

  • damn this is the best gta in the whole series and the song even made it catchyer!!!!!!

  • oh man i was excited for this game like crazy. and the catchy commercials made the wait even worst.

  • good hardware optimisations to avoid high minimum req and fps drops, and car/charecter customisation options would have made GTA4 #1

  • This commercial had me so hyped back then

  • Maybe they should remake this one, after all it was the most kick ass GTA game ever made in my book! GTA IV was a let down indeed... but Vice City needs to come back with a vengeance and tear GTA IV to shreds. Blow it out of the water!!! Nuke that shit!!!

    Trashy Trashy Trashy...That is of the one known as ''Grand Theft Auto IV''

  • Flock Of Seagulls.

  • wat song is this

  • @granthill1234 A Flock of Seagulls - I Ran (So Far Away)

  • vice city is the 2nd best grand theft auto game that i have played. and my 9th favorite game of all-time.

  • Comment removed

  • i love gta vc

  • vice city was the best gta game

  • Why does everyone hate on GTA4? Its a really good game, just because they took away all the retarded cheats

  • @daydayakasmokey The only thing retarded about the cheats in GTA4 it that they weren't there. Serously, how on earth can I have fun in a video game that allows me to do anything if I cant do everything? I swear people these days are more complacent with settling for less.

  • @chrisnorris1x Why dont you buy the PC version then? So you can MOD the game and you can stop QQ'ing

  • @daydayakasmokey How dare you even suggest that, Whats the point in modding my game if I put the game's programs and files at risk? Sixty dollars right down the drain. I think YOU need to be more traditional.

  • @chrisnorris1x no offense but a used PC version of the game is worth 15$, and you can just reinstall the game if the do happen to fuck up the program files. Besides I am satisfied with what I got in excange for the stuff they took away from the other GTA titles. An addictive online multiplayer, improved combat mechanics, and an amazing physics engine like no other game, and awesome DLC titles

  • they should definately do the next gta in vice city no one really wants a drab dull urban setting they want something with character

  • they also used the same narrator for gta3 commercial in the end if im not mistaking

  • I remember seeing this commercial being played all the damn time heh

  • God, they NAILED 80s culture.

  • God, they NAILED the 80s culture.

  • vice city is the best. best city, best controls, best car controls especially. FUCK GTA 4

  • GTA 4 didint suck all gta games are awesome

  • what's the name of this song?

  • @Luffymon88 i ran - flock of seagulls

  • guys here's the thing the reason why you all hate GTA 4 is because their missing elements from vice city and san andreas and let me guess you guys probably hated the story came with it am i rite.... to me gta 4 is probably on their best work

  • GTA rules saints row 2 sucks when you complete it

  • i grew up with 3 and vice city and i hate the style change in 4 but they need to remake vice city

  • Vice City is the best! Still play it!

  • I remember seeing this commercial on TV and being hyped as fuck for it,

  • @LanceHeart10 lol no dought

  • @LanceHeart10 for good reason. That game influenced so much and in my opinion still today is one of the best ever video games.

  • @LanceHeart10 I didn't even have a PS2, I had to save up for the whole damn console as well as the game! Didn't sleep for two days straight when I finally got it....best game ever

  • @LanceHeart10 God I miss those days so much... The earth so great until 2006 came...

  • @SamusSuperStar You said it man!

  • @SamusSuperStar What happenend in 2006?

  • @Xjumper5 I don't know if it's just me, but I started to see less and less fun in gaming. Game desiners only wanted apealing graphics, WE want fun and excitment. At least now in 2011 the game designers are getting it throw there heads now that we want fun not graphics. But if they can pull both off, then thats fantastic :)

  • @SamusSuperStar We're just getting older, bro. Today's current gamer generation will be saying the same exact thing in 10 years.

  • @SamusSuperStar i suppose developers are scared of turning back , rockstar has a massive reputation to hold, a bad game would be pretty ugly. a lot things get less ''fun'' though, like james bond for example. it was a joke in the 60s and 70s, now it's all serious, *sigh* no, pussy galore anymore...

  • @LanceHeart10 Me too. In fact that was the only game that actually kept me up at night thinking about how badass it was gonna be..

  • I played GTA 3, 4, VC, SA, VCS and LCS. And I enjoyed all of them except GTA 3. It wasn't so fun to me as the rest of the games. I don't see why you hate GTA 4 because I played it and I had same fun like playing GTA SA. I think I had enough time to judge because I played GTA SA for 5 years. But people just say shit to a new GTA, that's epic. When SA came out people just said that SA is garbage and that VC still rules. And so will say for GTA 5 when it comes out. That's just stupid and epic.

  • gta iv lost its personality and fun factor and substituted it for better graphics. such a shame

  • instead of gta4 they shoulda just made san andreas again but with all the graphics of gta4 and physics. that woulda been fukin awesome

  • Best GTA is GTA II. PC or PSX. GTA VC is awesome too.

  • man I can just remember playing this game for the first time and driving around playing 80s music, mouth and eyes wide open in amazement.

  • Nah I think Liberty city gets down! Its different, I think every game brings something different to the table, me personally, I like liberty city as much as Vice city, the worst for me was San Andreas.

  • LMFAO???GTA 4 is the shit the best out of the main gta's made and it took me awhile to realize its the best not just by graphics but gameplay futures like out running police

    and gta sa and gta 3 were my favorite of all now guess wat?gta 4 is my fav now and if anyone wanna argue with it im here fuckers

  • @SPAMINGxU chill out, its only a video game....

  • VICE CITY WITH

    SAN ANDREAS PLAYER MODE(as cam moves)

    and GTA3 POLICE

    AND i feel orgasm!!!

  • vicecity was my least favorite

  • every time i hear that song i ran so far away :)

  • these were the games gta 3,vc,sa.

    now it's gta 4 it has nothing on the ps2 classic gta's.

    if you agree with this give it a thumbs up:)

  • @393506 no it`s all the same but with exp shits packs...

  • @williams5885 no, the ps2 gta's were way better.

  • @393506 oviously

  • @williams5885 yeah

  • @393506 Good. That shit's over now. Gamers can't let anything go, can they?

  • @393506 True, True but GTA 4 was for the money to develop more games cuz since players want "graphics" and when they hear and see GTA 4, it will blow their minds.
