From the innovators and creators at Rockstar Games, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is another fun addition to the World of Arcade games. Go beyond your mobile screen and play it bigger and better on your PC or Mac. An immersive experience awaits you.

Vice City drops a player into a loud, neon slice of the 1980s where pastel suits, big hair, and ugly money feel normal. It is an open city that stretches from bright beaches to swampy outskirts, with shiny hotels up the road from beat up alleys. The pull is simple to get: run jobs for crooks, climb the ladder, buy safehouses and businesses, and cruise around in fast cars with the radio blasting those throwback tracks. Missions jump between chaotic shootouts, wild chases, and the occasional odd job that pays well, and the story keeps nudging them toward owning more of the city. Driving is arcadey and quick to learn, gunplay has lock on and free aim, and the radio stations carry alot of the mood. It is not subtle, it just goes big, and that is the fun.

On PC with BlueStacks, the game feels smoother and aiming with a mouse makes shootouts way less fussy than touch. Keymapping helps, so a player can set driving and weapon swapping exactly where it makes sense, and a controller works nicely if that is the preference. The graphics hold up better than expected once the resolution and draw distance are bumped, with nicer lighting at night, though some textures show their age up close. Expect a long campaign that takes real time, with enough side gigs to get lost in for hours. There are rough edges here and there, like old school checkpoints and a camera that needs a nudge indoors, but the city feels alive and noisy, and it rewards anyone who wants to explore, cause trouble, then cool off with a sunset ride along the beach.
