Fourth installment in the Grand Theft Auto series
Rockstar Games officially divides the Grand Theft Auto series into three unrelated eras: the 2D era, the 3D era, and the HD era that includes Grand Theft Auto 6. Each game functions as a self-contained story about self-actualization from a blank slate, meaning players can jump into the next entry without any prior knowledge.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City remains a landmark sequel that improved on GTA III with motorcycles, aircraft, a voiced protagonist, and one of gaming's most iconic soundtracks. Released just 12 months after its predecessor in 2002, it captures 1986 Miami excess with a star-studded cast led by Ray Liotta as Tommy Vercetti. Despite dated auto-targeting and no mid-mission checkpoints, Vice City's personality and style make it highly enjoyable decades later.

The Easter Egg, a painting of a lizard in a blue floral shirt, pays homage to the GTA: Vice City protagonist.
