Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

I see a lot of complaints about bugs in this game. Obviously these are either younger players who are used to high graphic games or not used to the older GTAs. Even when this game came out on ps2 a lot of the problems they are having on the mobile occurred on the disk game. It is part of the original design. I get it's been 10+ years. Yes there could be improvements, but then it wouldn't be the same game. This is still the same great game I played when I was a young kid and teen.

Overall a good port of Vice City. If you don't like the mobile controls(which I didn't), you can hook up a controller and it will work. I used a ps4 controller with bluetooth and it worked great. A word of warning though. DONT TRY TO GO FOR 100%. The fire truck minigame is broken: hitting people with the water stream won't knock them down, making it impossible to finish, and thus impossible to 100% the game. It seems others are also having issues in other parts of the game.The bugs bring it down

Definitely some glitches, but loads of fun overall. Auto aim is overkill, but necessary without an external controller. Another glitch is the inability to take off with the seaplane during the movie studio mission. I beat the main story before I got airborne - not sure if that is related. But make a sharp right turn immediately and pull up (down on d pad) while accelerating. You won't go fast, but you do catch a wave just right and go.

So I loved this game when I first downloaded it about a year ago, right after I purchased my Galaxy S24 Ultra.. it worked great, had no issues with standard gameplay, and LOVED it.. but I took a break from playing for a few months as I have been busy working. Well now the game doesn't work at all.. I've cleared my cache, cleared my data, which deleted ALL my progress and saves, and even deleted the app and re-downloaded it, and still nothing. Immediately crashes upon trying to open it. Refund???

Very smooth texturing and cut scenes!!! Much better that ps2 and xbox. Nevertheless, the controls on any handheld touchscreen device are particularly tedious, so it takes getting used to. That being said, drone, bike, and piloting missions can be difficult. SAVE YOUR GAME!!! every mission I mean that. Last you want is to play a hard mission and the game crashes or your phone dies and you have to play it again not remembering how you beat it. When in doubt, save save save.

The game is great from an artistic standpoint like the 80s aesthetics are well captured in this game and it's great! but when it comes down to gameplay it's the controls that ruined it for me. This game was specifically designed for the PS2 and Xbox controllers. When your driving it's really difficult and it's a real pain sometimes. It gets really annoying especially when you're on a timed missions. I'll give it 3 stars for just managing to get a port like this on mobile.

This game would be amazing, everything I ever dreamed of, if it didnt just randomly decide to shut down all the time. Mid-mission and everything the game will just shut itself off. It's extremely frustrating. I just collected 5 out of the 6 cars I needed for a mission and the game, yet again, shut itself off and I had to load back to square one. It's a damn shame.

The game can be choppy from time to time but that's to be expected from an old pc game. I find some issues with the animation such a the vehicles especially the bigger ones such as planes, tanks,and the apache helicopter. The controls are a bit bugged usually varies depending on what your doing. Despite these minor setback it's been years since I've played the original and I have to say they really did an amazing job porting the game it's almost exactly like the older version in every aspect.

It played ok on my LG z982 but now I've upgraded to the galaxy s10 and it plays almost exactly like the playstation version I remember. They had to cut out a bit of the story, but it is still great! Every now and then it will "force close" and go back to my home screen so I have to load it all over again. I have not figured out why. There are no other apps running at the time, and there is no way it could be a memory/RAM issue. I will go back to my 5-star rating whwn/if this stops happening!

Needs an update for the latest android, constantly crashes now, used to be a couple of minor glitches, mostly just some random crashes here and there, had repeat a mission or two on account of it. Other than that pretty minor stuff that was just as bad in the ps2 version. All the whiners on the review probably probably weren't alive yet too remember the woes of ps2, windows xp or the first gen xbox. All in all worth four bucks for when you are feeling nostalgic.

Three negative things: 1. Vehicle steering is sluggish compared to 3 and San Andreas 2. Combat is not great, but doable. 3. The building in front of the Malibu club seems to be glitched as the front of it is clipped a little into the streets. Other than that I thought it was good. I had no crashes or performance issues like others have had so idk what theyre talking about. Cheats would have been nice but without them I feel like I can respect the game a little more and actually try to 100% it.

Very fun but I'm experiencing a few glitches. The ice cream truck mission doesn't end lol. I've exceeded 50 sales multiple times and it doesn't complete the mission. I've tried returning back to the ice cream factory and no dice either. Also, the sunshine auto missions don't complete either. I cannot get past the first race no matter how many times I bear it. Anyone else experience these glitches?

Game won't launch, constantly crashes upon attempts to launch. Contacted Play Support, followed their troubleshooting process which did not fix the issue. I was then instructed to contact the DEVs with the email provided- sent 2 emails and never heard back. Can't get a refund as I "don't meet the criteria" which is absurd. Paid for a game that I can't even play or obtain a refund for. (for the record, my phone is capable of running this game so the issue isn't on my end) EDIT: still unplayable

The speed boat challenge is literally impossible. For whatever reason, the boat speeds have been dramatically reduced. No matter if you have a perfect run through, you're always about 7-10 seconds too slow. I cannot progress any further till this bug is fixed. The ga.e also crashes on me all the time even with the settings turned down. GS23 Ultra

Okay I'm giving it 5 stars because it is as perfect of a mobile GTA VC game as you can get. Very nostalgic and the map is huge. When played with a controller it feels exactly the same as PlayStation. If I could change one thing it would be the button from vigilante missions. It's the steering button and too easy to click on and off. I'll be chasing a perp, turn and accidentally exit the mission. Other than that Great job devs!

Just like i remember. A few changes like i couldnt get the fire truck before the islands open up. But everything else so far seems amazing all the challenges are there, infinite sprint, extra health, extra armor for doing the vigilante,ambulance and pizza missions. I played with xbox controller but it plays with ps2 controls. Love it. I believe you can change it though.

Have no experience, I bought this game long time ago, re-downloaded it, it keeps force close everytime, Rockstar please update and fix it, it has a bug, and yes I deleted it and re-downloaded it, same thing. Thanks, second time, now it's the three time, your promotion a great to download for free is still broken, I repeat, it's still, broken, either fix is,or pull it from. The game catalogs because this game that's in your system has a bug how many times do you think, it's been downloaded

Absolutely amazing game that unfortunately doesn't work. I bought and played it for hours around a year ago, but it won't launch on my new phone, and Rockstar nor the team that ported it seem to have any intention of fixing it as the $20 "definitive editon" has also been ported to mobile. Even when it worked there were bugs that made the game confusing at best and frustrating and unintuitive at worst. Vote with your wallet, at least until this masterpiece has been fixed.

Played for an hour found way to many glitches in this Android version compared to the actual PlayStation version, it's not very playable! Getting into cars is almost impossible at times, walls completely glitch out and are see through. When fighting the NPCs half the time you can't even hit them, he just glitches out and either freezes or slowly walks when attacking 😂. 1 star for me! Sorry! Fix the glitches then I'll change my review. 👍

I own Vice City on the original Xbox. It still holds up and looks good with trails/filter turned off. I was curious and wanted to see the mobile port. And it's impressive. It looks so good, crisp, and clean. The textures seem to be nicely upscaled. I love the definitive edition, but the mobile port definitely gives me a rush of nostalgia every time. Plus, it's GTA on the go, anytime, anywhere. What's not to love?
