Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Review (Shodan v3.0)
Amateur hour without any sense of shame.
Play original Vice City + https://www.definitive-edition-project.com/vc-de
That's all you'll ever need.
First of all while game was DL-ing I had to download mods that make characters look more true to themselves, restoration of music (which is missing) and a mod that'll make you pass one of Phil's missions since it's broken.
Visuals, game looks ok at first glance until you realize that most of grass looks and reflects like it's wet. Cars look bad, especially sport cars like Banshee which has a SUV suspension. Many cars ride height is broken and it's not just that, it's also handling. I died and lost last pizza mission (always do that first to perma raise my health) because of weird 'vespa' handling. You can crash by braking on FLAT surface because its suspension is like rubber. Traffic density is about 80% higher than in original. With VC map you can imagine the chaos when you're on time limit. It would be totally fine IF it had a slider for that in options. Guess they forgot, like so many other things.
In short censorship, missing content and tons of annoying glitches which I hoped were resolved since last year and PS5 - why I purchased it here. At least my game doesn't stutter here like on console...
I gave money as a huge Vice City fan so that you don't have to - DO NOT BUY until Rockstar asses give it a proper 2.0 overhaul which this game (I heard it's even worse in GTA 3) deserves.
