10 Iconic Rockstar Games - Ranked From Worst To Best
7. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
A perfect example of a game that captures the time period it's set in, Vice City is an inspired open world marvel that is so synonymous with the 1980's that they decided to set it in Miami.
Drawing inspiration from Scarface, Miami Vice and so much more, Vice City marked an excellent point in Rockstar's history where they figured out how to do a period piece. This paved the way for other games set in history, and truly raised the bar for the open world action game.
Tommy Vercetti is an inimitable character, an ex-con working for the Italian Mafia, procuring cocaine and overseeing deals with drug lords to try and control the Vice City drug trade.
The radio stations are unforgettable, blasting 80's hits such as Phil Collins' 'Easy Lover' as you cruise around Miami, mowing down civilians and trying to steal hot rods. The gameplay exhibited a tremendous amount of polish and gave the game a distinct sense of depth that hadn't been seen in other open world titles.
A sun-soaked sandbox that is easily one of the most iconic games in Rockstar's history.
