Crank it up to 11…!

2. The 80’s Called, it wants its hair band back …Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

By far of the all the GTA games on the list this is still my favorite to play and replay - hell I am about two hours into what will be my 5th replay. There’s just something about the sound track and feeling of this game I cannot get over…maybe it’s because the blocky and glitch personality of this game provides part of its charm. I had the controller cheat codes memorized and the computer list sitting by my screen as I played for hours.

Pretty lady loading screens…everyone hopes they are in the game but nooooo…

So many of my school day afternoons were spent cruising the beaches and running over hookers to steal their money. The dead blocky hooker bodies twitching under my feet as I continue to curb stomp them on the sidewalks or beating them to death with my baseball bat in the bushes. Oh, come on we are all a little psycho…

Video did kill the Radio Star…yeah let that one sink in….

I loved the fact this game wasn’t perfect and it had music I could listen to all day long. No other GTA game in the whole series has such a likable playlist or one that never gets old. This game is proof that simple graphics and storyline shouldn’t be overlooked, what happened to just letting loose and having a good time? This game does that for me. Why can’t more games today offer such simplistic beauty and a good time? I don’t always want to play something intense or complicated: sometimes I just want a nice little sandbox with some fun music piped into my ear holes.

My Rating: 4.5/5 Stars    Less can be more.
