Vice City Lives On!

Great port to mobile! My only gripe is I had a glitch after completing 30% of the game. For some reason the controls wouldn’t switch to regular walking mode after going to the hardware store. The controls were fine when driving cars but when walking it only had the left and right arrows and the purchase button. Nothing I could to would revert away from the store purchase mode. I tried dying, killing the hardware guy, buying from other stores, loading previously saved games, offloading the game and re downloading, and it still wouldn’t go back to normal. I eventually just straight up deleted everything and reinstalled and of course that worked. I made the mistake of not saving my game to the cloud slot otherwise I’d be good. So if this happens to you, save your game to the cloud slot, delete everything, and reinstall. Also save very frequently just in case. The other thing I wanted to ask that would make the game greater would be a dual analog option. That would be nice for driving so you can control your speed and braking much better. Maybe I am the only one that wants this? I just think it would make it better. Worth the money!

Vice City = Best

So, Gta Vice City is one of the most memorable and fun games out there. Although, It does have some bugs. First, Whenever you try to get one of the special cars from the sunshine autos and a police is nearby, You will get a police level when you enter the Deluxo, Sabre Turbo, Sandking, And Hotring Racer. So, if you could fix this, it would be good. Next, If you have the accelerometer on, and if you’re in a car, then in a mission or finished a mission, If you hit the gas, the car will uncontrollably go left for NO reason. Sure, you can turn it off to make it go away, but you could still fix this. Another thing is that the hitboxes of trees, (especially palm trees) are quite large, and the problem I have with that is that, When I land a helicopter, then try to fly it again, and the back rotor or the rotor above will get stuck. I sometimes push it about two in-game meters, but the hitbox still prevents me from flying it. So please fix this as well. But even though there are several bugs and more, GTA Vice City Is stil a great game. In the future you could maybe port more Rockstar games onto mobile.

Pretty solid and just like I remembered!

It’s April 12th, 2018 and with only about 2 hours of game time, I’d have to say that I’m pleased with the game. I’ve read of some freezing and so far the only “freezing” that happens is if I go to the options menu for more than 10 seconds, upon going back into the game it’ll take about 5 to 10 seconds to refresh and continue playing without any jumping after 10 more seconds. It’s pretty solid now. Fun game, just as I remember it being. The controls are surprisingly simple and mostly easy to use. You can even change the controls in the settings, to include button placement completely customizable with an ability to resize any control button. My only suggestion would be to immerse yourself into the game for a while at a time to prevent possible permanent freezing when going back into the game. I did so probably 5 times and the last time I did so, checking a message on my phone, going back into the game it froze completely. Other than that, it’s a great game! Enjoy!

It’s the full game on your phone!

It’s the full game, it really is. Hidden packages, rampages, side missions, everything. The on screen controls are fully customizable, you can adjust the size and location. It took a while for me to get used to them but it’s not that difficult. It’d probably be better with a controller. I have the iPhone XS with the latest OS and have not had any issues with crashing as others have reported. I’ve even left the app open overnight and I picked up right where I left off. One new thing is if you fail a mission, a prompt will ask if you want to try again. It’ll start you over so you don’t have to drive back to the guy. But, anything you collected (hidden packages or whatever) will be reset also. When you die or get busted, you keep your weapons! That’s new, and very nice. Not sure if you can cheat on here, haven’t tried yet. Overall I’m very happy I spent the $5 on this.

Game is good gta is always a good game

This game is good although it is a little buggy the controls are some what messed up and turning is very hard. Another thing is that my cars are automatically turning right or left only by a little bit. Kinda like Walmart shopping carts. But the story is good although the graphics are not the best but it is expected because this game is very old. Another thing that isn’t a problem with the mobile version but just the game is that the vehicles damage very easy. This is not very ideal since the driving is very very very hard. Since the driving is hard I tried connecting my old Xbox controller and thought the driving would be easier and maybe have the same settings as gta 5 (v). Not at all I also couldn’t change the settings to make them better which was not very ideal since the settings are horrendous. But overall I would give the game a 4/5 since it is still a classic gta game with a wonderful story. But I still do like gta 5 story a lot more.

GTA at its finest

Even years later, this title still holds up as an amazing game. Sure, the mechanics aren’t perfect from the era, but once I rearranged my screen(iPad pro 15”) i was very pleased and felt it was close enough to how I played back in the day. The voice acting is tremendous here with lead Ray Liotta as Tommy Vercetti. Following with greats like Burt Reynolds, Luis Guzman, Danny Trejo, Gary Busey, even somebody like Jenna Jamison shows up. It’s funny how I find myself playing the missions exactly how I did it when I originally played the hell out of this game. Hitting all the familiar spots for health and armor along the way. The last thing I will mention, that I love about this game compared to other Grandtheft autos in the franchise, is the media attention in the stats. If you never knew about this check it out, and then go kill as many people as possible and see what you can do. Search online if you want to find out what each tier takes.

Several bugs to be fixed!

I give this game 4 stars for being pretty faithful to the 2002 original. However, there are bugs that need to be fixed. Firstly, sometimes when I get into a car, he camera doesn't move with it, and stays at the place that I got in the car. I can fix this by pressing the POV button when you are in a car, though. I still would like this fixed. Secondly, sometimes when I resume a certain save file, the game remains on a black screen and I have to reenter the game. I do this, only for the black screen to happen again on the same save file. Thirdly, there are times when I shoot my gun in a car, and it won't shoot. Only one shot will work, and the gun will stop working. Fourthly, sometimes in general after a few shots, the gun doesn't shoot anymore. Don't know if this is intentional or if the original did the same. Fifthly, if a car explodes and the screen gets a shaky effect, sometimes it keeps shaking, even minutes after the explosion. Sixthly, when I drive a car up a ramp and the game goes into a slo-mo mode, the camera never goes back to the car and the game is still in slo-mo speed. A lot of issues to be fixed. Fix these, and I will give 5 stars. Thx you.

Not optimized for iPad Pro 12.9”

This game is awesome the only problem is the controls aren’t optimized for the iPad Pro 12.9” which is a huge bummer if you bought this game and then realized that the buttons aren’t at the corners of the screen but instead the middle. Please fix this because it used to be optimized but the newest updates changed that. This is my favorite game out of the trilogy and I wish that I can play the game without having to extend my fingers to the middle of the screen. Edit: So I have done more research about the screen controls not being optimized to my iPad and I realized that there is a way to change where the buttons are. The problem is that that area also isn’t optimized for the iPad Pro. Rockstar needs to make it so you can resize that to the correct dimensions. Even if you delete the app and redownload it. The buttons still won’t be optimized for the 12.9” screen.
