Grand theft Auto Vice City
This is a single player action game that takes place in Vice City, Florida. The main character is Tommy Vercetti who is a drug dealer and need to make some money he lost from Sonny (a drug lord in the game) before Tommy gets killed so you have to go around the city looking for jobs from the local drug lords and crime lords. In order to finish the game you have to complete a lot missions and be the top of all the crime lords and drug lords (the most wanted). Each mission is a job from a gang’s head and from one boss you can do a lot mission until he runs out of thing for you to do so you can go to another boss. After completing a mission you get some money and respect from the gang. Some jobs are frustrating and some are simple. For example: a frustrating mission is when you are asked to do cocaine traffic because you have to go all around the city. You have to pick up the money from the boss and get different clothes so the cops will not recognize you. After you find the drug lord to do the transfer, you need to give the goods to the boss. A simple mission is when some send you to kill some because you just need to use some money to buy a weapon and look for that person and kill him or her. This game is like the real life of criminal.
The good thing about the game is that you never have to walk and you get a free vehicle because you can steal any vehicle in the game. It’s fun when you steal someone’s car or motorcycle because you kick him or her out of it then they start cursing at you but when you show them a gun they shut up and runaway. I like a lot of the details of the game because you can have a flat tire while you running away from a gun fight and the vehicle start going slower. Another thing is that you can do crazy stunning moves like jumping off the roof with any car or motorcycle which give you additional cash depending on the move. Not only cars and motorcycle are available in the game but also boats and helicopters. The thing that I like more is that you can buy real estate with dirty money. By buying houses you can save yourself from a police persecution and save the game so it’s convenient.
On the other hand, if you keep on stealing the car or motorcycles of someone they will fight back and try to push you out and if cop see it they will start shooting at you. If you kill a cop the warrant rate will increase then more officers including the S.W.A.T. team and the FBI will try to arrest you, making it harder to escape or hide away. Not only by stealing someone’s property but by beating up or killing the civilians this will happen also so it takes out the fun part when the warrant rate increase because you can’t run around freely. Another bad thing is when you made a crazy stunning move landing on a river you will eventually die, lose money, and you have to start over so you can’t swim back to the ground and live.
It’s a fun game, there are lot things you can do and the only unrealistic thing is that you can not swim. This game is made for people who like action, car, motorcycle, helicopter, and boat games. I believe they will love this game because everything is in one packet. Also the graphics and sound effects are pretty good, the playability of the character is easy to control which makes a top game in the market. The worst is that this game is available for kids because it shows too much violence. I believe that kids do not think like a mature person think because kids will try to do what they see to be fun. They may try to steal someone’s property or kill someone for fun like in the game. But this game gives lessons to those kids who may try to commit a crime like you may die or be arrested in a police persecution. I think it’s a good game because it shows the good things, the bad things and the results of being a criminal so those who play it decide what they want to be.

Admin: This has a good summary of the game and your opinions, but I think it could have been stronger with a more general conclusion about what people expect (beyond moral lessons) from video games. B
