Rockstar has really polished the graphics in the PC version of Vice City, and although you'll need a hefty machine for the best results, we had a x setting double the resolution of the PlayStation 2 version with fps that looked stunning, with sunlight reflected realistically off cars, and a beautiful neon glow lit up buildings at night. There was some pop-up cars appearing out of nowhere etc , and character animation is a little creaky, but this is being very picky - it's akin to criticising The Beatles' White Album for having a bit of a plain cover.
Vice City provides a rich environment where you can indulge every dark fantasy you've ever had, as well as enjoying some of the best level design and genius mission ideas ever featured in a game. Rockstar obviously knows its pop culture - there are many references to other films and TV shows, especially Miami Vice and the classic s movie Scarface the Giorgio Moroder soundtrack of which has already been raided for GTA III, trivia fans.
As we've experienced two GTA games in two years, you can actually forget how daring the whole franchise is: bad language, police murders, prostitution, illegal narcotics, porno movies, bloody chainsaw killings, scathing social criticism, political corruption, the sanctioned destruction of innocent people's property and possessions, and an amoral playable character. But after all that. Vice City is a title that has defined a generation - a videogame that's hugely entertaining and cool as f..
The Lights dim and Mr. Mister's Broken Wings thumps into action as a man in a sharp suit plunges his flared nostrils into a pile of coke so big it would have cost Daniella Westbrook more than her septum. Cut to a couple of bouffanted blondes In pink skirts on roller skates, and back to Nice Guy Eddie explaining that he doesn't know who's dead, who's alive, who's caught and who's not. The action switches to more drugs, violent shootings, more roller skates and a few more lines of the finest Peruvian.
If you asked most developers to name the inspiration behind their latest game, they'd go slightly red, look down at their feet and mutter something about a teacher back in school who gave them shelter in the computer labs from the bullies who made their lunchtimes hell.
But this is different. Sometimes, life is sweet. As is becoming the norm, Vice City has been out on PlayStation 2 since Christmas, but if you've got any sense you've kept yourself well away from it. I had to force myself into a quick three-hour razz around just so that I didn't come across as a clueless tallywhacker in New York, but even that was enough to convince me there's only one version of the game worth playing.
Vice City might be identical in content between the two platforms, but visually they couldn't be further apart. The best analogy is pirate films. You can't wait for Star Wars 3 to hit the cinemas over here, so you buy a grainy DVD copy filmed from a digital camera perched in some obese American's bulging crotch. And in doing so effectively ruin the experience you could've had if you'd been patient. You might not think visuals are that important, but the revamped DX9 engine adds to the experience immeasurably.
This is something I discovered as soon as the game was fired up on a huge presentation screen by Devin Winterbottom, Vice City's product manager, leaving me struggling to maintain my cool in the face of one of the most stunning games I've ever seen. The official line on why the game gets released on PC after PS2 is that the developers have to go back in and buff the city up until it's gleaming though we suspect the truth might have something to do with a company called Sony, and the word 'exclusive'.
Either way, Devin looks as proud as any father clutching his newborn as he runs us through the visuals: "Oh yeah. It's all DX 9 stuff, and we've gone back in and re-done I all the textures, he says. Switching from day to night, the game suddenly explodes in a mass of neon shop fronts and street lamps.
Pedestrians ditch their swimmers for suits and smart party clobber. Standing in the middle of the road, an oncoming motorbike blinds me with its headlights. Dazzlingly bright at the core, the light diffuses round the edges creating an amazingly lifelike effect - the first of hundreds of subtle effects I was going to get unnaturally excited about as I played through the game on the enormous screen they had rigged up.
The next thing that grabbed me by the balls was the draw distance. If you can't see something clearly, it's more likely that it's your eyes that are defective. And to make the most out of all this, you can use your mouse to look around and take in every little nuance.
Something Devin points to in highlighting differences between playing the game on either platform: When you're a console gamer you're always looking at what's ahead of you. You never take the time to look around you, look behind you.
Which means you won't get to see some of the pedestrian antics the team has been lovingly slaving over. Antics made all the more amusing and convincing by Rockstar's decision to motion capture the movements of professional stage actors. All the pedestrians have their own mannerisms, and things they do and say. The pedestrians reflect that, walking around in bathing suits, or roller skating in tight pink spandex and headbands.
Right on cue, a skater who wouldn't have looked out of place in the WWE in the mid '80s tries to skate round us only to fall on his pert, pink arse. As he gingerly gets to his feet, the room dissolves in hysterical laughter, much as it would if we'd seen his slapstick fall in the real world. It's great demoing the game, because the same thing never happens twice. But the improvements in Vice City aren't just cosmetic.
Rockstar might not be giving Vice City full sequel status, but there's enough new to make it a huge evolution from the last game. First off, where Liberty City might as well have been a cardboard film set, giving the appearance of a city without anywhere for you to go except the streets, Vice City lets you move around inside buildings, and even buy your own properties when you get enough cash.
You can't go in any building you want we presume they're saving this for the online version of the game, when, or indeed, if, it comes to fruition - see the Gangbang boxout below for more info but the various hotels, discos and shopping malls help extend the illusion of the city, and provide some pretty funky backdrops for the shady deals and gunfights you get into through the course of the game.
And this is no lazy add-on. The two entities co-exist, which means that although there's a short loading time when you move from outside to indoors, everything carries on in the city as if you were still out there. So any pedestrians hanging around outside will still be there doing their thang when you come back out.
And any cops on your tail might not give up the chase just because you've ducked inside a building - a quick peek out of the window should tell you if this is the case. The next tick on the checklist is the addition of new vehicles, most notably helicopters and motorbikes.
There are six flyable helicopters in the game plus a radio-controlled model , and although they take a bit of getting used to, they're nowhere near as hard to fly as the Dodo from GTA III. You can land on secluded rooftops for an afternoon's sniping, or use your blades to chop up a group of pensioners enjoying a round of golf.
You'll also see choppers if your wanted rating gets too high, though these will be the ones the SWAT teams sent to bring you in are abseiling down from - if you're quick enough, a burst from your uzi or sniper shot to the pilot can take them down. But the addition of motorbikes is an even more significant change to the way the game plays. Ranging from the ultratrendy, but ultimately ultra-slow Faggio scooter, up to the classic Hariey-types, the first thing you notice is how well they handle.
You can pull wheelies and fall off the back if you get a bit carried away, as I did , and do some serious damage to yourself if you crash, with your body flying through the air and coming down in a crunch of bone and tarmac. RDR2: Companion. Bully: Anniversary Edition.
