Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is an open-world action-adventure game developed by Rockstar North and released in 2002. Set in the neon-soaked, crime-ridden Vice City loosely based on 1980s Miami the game follows Tommy Vercetti, a former mobster seeking to build his criminal empire after a drug deal goes wrong.

Players navigate an expansive world filled with missions, side activities, and chaotic action, driving an array of vehicles, engaging in shootouts, and interacting with diverse characters. The game’s story, inspired by Scarface and Miami Vice, explores themes of power, betrayal, and ambition.
