As we enjoy the final week in a pre-GTA VI world, what better way to gird your loins for next week’s release, so to speak, than by revisiting the last adventures set in Rockstar’s take on Miami. 2002’s Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is a certified classic that, if you’ve never played it, offers nice foundational insight into what Vice City was like in the ’80s (spoiler: it was a lot like Scarface and Miami Vice). Best of all, Vice City easily available on modern platforms and with modernized improvements to boot.
If you want to go even further back, chronologically speaking, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories is a prequel set two years before the events of Vice City. Maybe, in some extremely minute way, Vice City Stories lays narrative groundwork for GTA VI. It’s extremely unlikely, but you never know. Originally released for PSP in 2006, Vice City Stories is trickier to play if you don’t own the retired handheld or a PlayStation 2, which it was ported to in 2007. But if you can find the means, there’s no better time to check out this often overlooked chapter of Vice City’s history.
