Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

Welcome to the 1980s.

Welcome to Vice City, a huge urban sprawl stretching from the beach to the swamps and the glitz to the ghetto, a town brimming with delights and degradation.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

Having just made it back onto the streets of Liberty City after a long stretch inside, Tommy Vercetti is sent to Vice City by his old boss, Sonny Forelli. But all does not go smoothly upon his arrival in the glamorous, hedonistic metropolis of Vice City. Tommy is set up and loses everything. 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.

Willkommen in Vice City. Willkommen in den 80er Jahren.

Tommy Vercetti hat eine lange Haftstrafe in einem Hochsicherheitsgefängnis hinter sich. Jetzt ist er zurück in Liberty City. Doch kaum wieder auf freiem Fuß, wird er von seinem alten Boss, Sonny Forelli, nach Vice City entsandt. Aber es geht nicht alles glatt bei seiner Ankunft in der glitzernden, genusssüchtigen Metropole Vice City. Schon bei seiner ersten Transaktion gerät er in eine Falle und steht plötzlich ohne Geld und ohne Ware da. Sonny will seine Kohle von ihm zurück, aber Motorradgangs, kubanische Gangster und korrupte Politiker sind ihm dabei im Weg. Es scheint, ganz Vice City will Tommy an den Kragen. Es gibt für ihn nur einen Ausweg: Er muss sich wehren und die Stadt selbst übernehmen...

Im Jahrzehnt der wilden Frisuren, der Exzesse und der pastellfarbenen Anzüge spielt die Geschichte eines Mannes, der sich seinen Weg an die Spitze der Welt des Verbrechens bahnt. Vice City ist ein riesiges Stadtgebilde, das verschiedenste Gebiete umfasst: Strände und Sümpfe, teure Geschäftsviertel, Amüsiermeilen und Ghettos. Vice City ist die vielseitigste, umfassendste und lebendigste digitale Stadt, die je geschaffen wurde. Ein nicht-lineares Gameplay kombiniert mit der packenden Story um die Hauptfigur wirft Sie in eine Metropole, in der es von Sensationen und Gefahren nur so wimmelt.

Back of Sleeve - Windows (Germany)

Добро пожаловать в 1980-е!

Вайс-сити — настоящая жемчужина Юга. Город порока и роскоши, где соседствуют богатство и нищета, дворцы и трущобы.

Отсидев пятнадцать лет в тюрьме, Томми Версетти возвращается в Либерти-сити. Однако здесь ему не рады. Бывший босс бандита, Сони Форелли, чтобы избавиться от Томми, а заодно и подзаработать денег, посылает того куда подальше – в Вайс-сити, что на юге страны. Но Версетти не справляется с поручением и теряет все. Положению незадачливого героя не позавидовать: мало того что Сони требует вернуть долг, так еще, кажется, что на Томми ополчился весь Вайс-сити: банды байкеров, кубинские гангстеры, коррумпированные политики — все стремятся прикончить Версетти. Что же остается? Только ответить ударом на удар и попытаться прибрать весь криминальный город к рукам.

• Огромный, детально проработанный игровой мир — мегаполис Вайс-сити, в котором постоянно что-то происходит независимо от действий игрока.
• Более тридцати видов оружия: кастеты, дубинки, автоматы, пулеметы, гранаты, базука и многое другое.
• Различные транспортные средства, которыми можно управлять: автомобили, мотоциклы, катера, лодки и даже — вертолет.
• Огромное количество абсолютно разноплановых заданий: от продажи мороженого и развоза пиццы до покупки недвижимости и убийства полицейского.
• Великолепное музыкальное сопровождение — несколько часов музыки на девяти радиостанциях в исполнении звездных коллективов 1980-х годов, среди которых представители самых разных музыкальных направлений — от диско до хард'н'хэви.
