10 Video Game Sequels Better Than The Original
4. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
GTA III brought Grand Theft Auto to the 3D world of PlayStation 2,
and in doing so, changed sandbox action games forever. Just Cause,
Mafia, Saints Row, just to mention a few, owe it all to GTA III.
Despite some questionable controls and its silent protagonist, the
game was near perfect.
Then came GTA: Vice City, and the greatest Christmas holiday ever.
A Hollywood voice cast including main hero Tommy Vercetti by A-list, mob actor, Ray Liotta, the cars were more stylish and drove more fluidly, characters were motion-captured, there were more creative weapons and bikes, helicopters and boats could all now be driven.
You could enter buildings and buy up real estate, carving out your own criminal empire. Missions were inspired by classic blockbuster movies, and best of all – that 80s soundtrack. Vice City is a franchise best for Rockstar's work on GTA, and it's no wonder fans are clamouring for a return to its sun-kissed streets for GTA VI.
