Having just made it back onto the streets of Liberty City after a long stretch in maximum security,
Tommy Vercetti is sent to Vice City by his old boss, Sonny Forelli.
They were understandably nervous about his re-appearance in Liberty
City, so a trip down south seemed like a good idea. But all does not go
smoothly upon his arrival in the glamorous, hedonistic metropolis of
Vice City. He's set up and is left with no money and no merchandise. Sonny wants his money
back, but the biker gangs, Cuban gangsters, and corrupt politicians
stand in his way. Most of Vice City seems to want Tommy dead. His only
answer is to fight back and take over the city himself.
From
the decade of big hair, excess and pastel suits comes a story of one
man's rise to the top of the criminal pile as Grand Theft Auto returns
to the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system this October. 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.
As
a major gateway to South America and the Caribbean and attracting
migrants, Vice City is brimming with diverse characters, so there's a
friend for everyone. It is a sociable place and the new guy in town is sure to meet all manner of friendly people in the sunshine capital of America. Athletes, pop stars, real estate developers,
politicians, trailer trash, everyone is moving to Vice City to find out
what makes it the number one growth city in America. But, as Tommy
quickly finds out, trust is still the rarest of commodities.
Vice
City offers vehicular pleasures to suit every taste. For the speed
enthusiast, there's high-performance cars and motorbikes. For the
sportsman, a powerboat or a golf buggy lets you enjoy the great
outdoors. For those that need that sense of freedom and escape, why not
charter a helicopter and see the beauty of Vice City from the air?
As
the party capital of America, you would expect your ears to be seduced
by a host of sultry melodies and pumping beats, but the city is truly
rocking. You'll be AMAZED as you sweep through Vice City's FM dial. If
you are feeling like trouble, you can tune into some driving rock, or
some crucial electro, or maybe you want to slow down with some sweet
soul, and there will always be some great romantic anthems if you want
to really take your mind off things.
For
the action man, or outdoors type, there's tons of fun things to do and
adventures to be had… guaranteed. For the secretive or creepy type, Vice
City is full of surprises, a place where you'll constantly be surprised
by the vivacious, fun-loving types who live there and the things you
can discover.

interactive entertainment yet created. The game is developed by Rockstar
North and published by Rockstar Games.

NEW YORK--May 21, 2002--Rockstar Games, the world-renowned publishing

franchise that has exceeded 11 million units in total sales to-date. It
will be available exclusively for PlayStation(R)2 and is expected to hit
retail shelves in the United
States on October 22nd. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City will surpass the
unprecedented gameplay, cinematic graphics and immersive audio
experience that gamers associate with Grand Theft Auto 3, which was
released in October 2001 and has rapidly become the fastest selling,
highest grossing game for PlayStation(R)2 computer entertainment system to date,
with global sales exceeding 6 million units. Rockstar Games will
release additional information about the game's content in July, but the
following details are clear: It's an entirely new game set in the '80s,
the location is Vice City, and the vibe is glamour, power and
corruption...
Sam Houser, the executive producer of the Grand Theft Auto franchise
and president of Rockstar Games, commented, "The success of Grand Theft Auto 3
has made us very proud, but it has also motivated us enormously. The
work currently being done by our development and production teams in
Edinburgh and New York is going to surpass the efforts of last year, as
we set our sights on making an even more revolutionary gaming
experience. This will be reflected in the size of the game, the scope of
the gameplay, the extent of the gameplayer's freedom, the quality of
production value and the all-important sense of style."
Les Benzies, the producer of Grand Theft Auto games, noted, "Although it may appear to be a challenge to develop a game superior to Grand Theft Auto 3, our progress to date
on Vice City makes me highly confident that we can deliver a truly
innovative game." Kelly Sumner, Take-Two Interactive Software's Chief
Executive Officer added, "Grand Theft Auto 3 has become the "must-have"
title for PlayStation(R)2 and is appropriately regarded as a landmark in
interactive entertainment. We are delighted with the plans for Vice
City, and are totally committed to supporting Rockstar's creative
efforts and investing in the development and marketing approach that
made Grand Theft Auto 3 such a tremendous success."
