I played a fair bit of GTA Vice City back in the day round friends' houses, but never played all the way through. Mostly just ran people over, got as many stars as possible and died. Don't get me wrong... I had a blast... but recently thought I'd play through the whole thing.

The game itself holds up amazingly well I think! I am loving cruising around the city, collecting income from businesses, buying new businesses, swapping clothes, spraying cars... committing a lot of grand theft auto. I was pleasantly shocked at how compelling it is to play. I'm playing on my phone with a Razer Kishi too, so I can get my fix anywhere!

If I had heard anything positive about the remaster at all, I would‘ve replayed it by now… It‘s an amazing game in my memory but I haven‘t played it in well over a decade. I remember being obsessed with buying real estate and tank racing (shooting backwards propels the tank forward). And trying to fly that weird plane on the airport which was real hard to do IIRC lol

Tank racing is a fond memory of mine too. A friend had a modded PC copy in which you could increase the speed of vehicles too. The backwards tank shots could make you fly! Handling however was exactly how you would expect a canon powered flying tank to handle though...
