Second Game Play:
My second time playing “Grand Theft Auto: Vice City” was much more fun. This time I was successfully able to steal cars, and I concentrated on that rather than working on my mission. If you drive around the city enough you can find ramps to jump your car off of, and if you complete your jumps then you get points. I concentrated on getting points that way, because I wasn’t good at getting them any other way.
I think that it is really fun to taunt cops in the hope that they will start chasing you. Playing grand theft auto allows you to break all the road rules you wouldn’t be able to break in real like. Especially because you have the option of running down hookers, or just beating people at random. I definitely understand the appeal of GTA because it allows the player freedom from the real world while being in their magic game circle.
Game Design:
I enjoyed playing “Grand Theft Auto: Vice City”. The makers did a really good job of creating a solid, and interesting game plot, filled with lots of character interactions. I was interested in the plot so I looked up a summary online. I found a very long and very detailed description of the game that I felt was really interesting, but hard to absorb while actually playing the game.
I only had a few complaints about the game, but mainly I feel that GTA would appeal to more gamers if there were the option of choosing your character. As a girl I think that the game would be just as fun, if not more fun, if there was a female character that could be badass and steal cars as well (the majority of the women in the game are hookers).
I read up on the game, and while it is violent there are other options of activities to do in the city. You can rush people to the hospital, fight fires, or be on the police’s side in tracking down crime. I think that if I were to play Grand Theft Auto again I would try one of these options, because I get a little sick of violent games.
All in all I think that GTA is a good game, the settings are diverse enough to keep the player interested, and the different music options, depending on what type of car you steal, keeps the sounds from getting boring. Aside from the violence I like “Grand Theft Auto: Vice City” and I would definitely play it again.

GRAND THEFT AUTO: VICE CITY
Summary:
Set in Miami, “Grand Theft Auto: Vice City”, turns you into a mafia hit man named Tommy Vercertti. Your game “mission” is to retrieve money and cocaine for your mafia boss Sonny Forelli, while stealing cars, and fighting other mob bosses.
First Game Play:
When I first started playing “Grand Theft Auto: Vice City” I was a little confused on how to make my character do everything I wanted. It always takes me a little time to adjust to the game well enough that I feel like I can start playing. Once I felt accustomed to the controls, I started exploring the city. I know that Grand Theft Auto is known for its violence and car theft, hence the name, but I was having trouble stealing cars, and fighting people.
I let my friend show me how to steal cars, and then I got to work. I like how you can steal a car, then chase another better car, and steal that one. There is always a bigger and better option, which gives me the drive to try to find that better car. I was still having trouble navigating the city, and the plot line was way too complicated for me, so I spent the majority of my first game play driving around, exploring and stealing games.
