Vice City is a huge urban sprawl ranging from the beach to the swamps and the glitz to the ghetto, and is the most varied, complete and alive digital city ever created. Combining non-linear gameplay with a character driven narrative, you arrive in a town brimming with delights and degradation and are given the opportunity to take it over as you choose. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games "to be released for the PlayStation2 computer entertainment system on October 22, 2002".
