I really had no interest in any of the GTA games, until I watched a friend playing GTA:VC for about 30 seconds. He hopped on a crotch-rocket, and when the radio started playing Flock of Seagulls, I HAD to have that game.
I'm glad too, because wow, was I missing an amazing game.
For those who haven't played it, GTA:Vice City takes place in 1986, in a setting much like the Miami Vice TV show, with you as a gangster. There are several radio stations you can listen to in vehicles that play real 80's music. By real, I mean:
Pop station:
Micheal Jackson
Yes
Hall and Oates
ELO
INXS
Joe Jackson
The Fixx
Soft Rock station:
Toto
Foreigner
Cutting Crew
Night Ranger
REO Speedwagon
"New Wave" station:
Frankie Goes to Hollywood
Tears for Fears
Blondie
Flock of Seagulls
Corey Hart
Animotion
Metal station:
Ozzy Osborne
Twisted Sister
David Lee Roth
Judas Priest
Iron Maiden
Motley Crue
There is also a "funk"(?) station, rap station, a spanish station, an NPR station, and a talk radio station that I never listened to, except the one time I caught rap station playing "Rock It" by Herbie Hancock.
A lot of the voices were done by famous actors like Ray Liotta, Tom Sizemore, Phillip Michael Thomas (Tubbs from Miami Vice), Burt Reynolds, Jenna Jameson (:blink:), Dennis Hopper, Gary Busey, Fairuza Balk, and even a radio call-in from Lee Majors.
Oh, also, the gameplay was lots of fun, and not just "steal a bunch of cars" like I thought it would be.
