GTA Vice City stands out from the series not just for it's neon flair but as a natural evolution for the franchise. A tough thing to do for a prequel game. It's got all the familiar GTA elements in it but with Hawaiian shirts and that 80's vibe that is incredibly charming, in a criminal underworld sorta way. It's time to make fat stacks and build up our criminal empire in my GTA Vice City review!

giant erect penis
Aw man, here we go again.
There this one ps2 call siren and siren 2(the hardest one) i can't beat it even tho i have been playing it for about 2 year now can you pliz make a video about it
Are u going to sonic CD or sonic 3D blast or sonic adventure 2?
Thatd be huge plays!
*"I completed Vice City and all I got was this lousy T-shirt."*
Turnt Ninja shantae is a good lousy shirt
I get that reference
@@emmabeaudoin21 no? its from VC
Piro Man also fc5 and sr4
Turnt Ninja That's a SHITTY t-shirt just like the ASSHOLES who create the Game!!!... SERIOUSLY, that's the only thing they could give to you, after ALL THAT SHIT YOU WENT THROUGH?
Those aviators are giving a nice little behind the scenes look.
I think thats ted
Exactly what I was just about to comment on
How come no one ever talks about the comedic gold in VCPR
Bresdin I always listened to that channel , was hilarious 😂
It's criminally short in vice city. By the time I finished the 50 taxi fares I already heard the whole thing 3 times.
That channel and KCHAT
Mr. Zoo, Claude Maginot... And the commercials.
@@RayLukard78 commercials are hilarious 😂
It’s funny how the satire is even more relevant now then when it came out 🤣
I know this is a video about vice city
but it feels like a video about hotline miami with all these bangers
Probably better to use those amazing tracks then attempt to use any of the licensed tracks in Vice City and challenge TH-cams broken copyright system.
Also wazzup Indeimaus!
Oh shit Indeimaus lol I fw your channel man
All the tracks used are Hotline Miami tracks? Sold!
Look at this checkmark.
HAHA YEAH
Seeing you do this game makes me want to see you do Scarface: The World is Yours
He should
Wow that brings me back such a great game
like so he sees!!
Please
JCity 17 shit, I remember actually wanting to complete this game on my own... just getting the territories was tough while making sure my fronts weren’t being raided
I couldn't intimidate a child.
And believe me I've tried.
Ian P good ol' Ken Rosenberg 😂
@@Tony-112
You got it! Nice one!!
'DID YOUR DADDY KISS YOU?' is my favorite random thing a cop yells while chasing you.
vice city was the goat. especially for it’s time. ESPECIALLY especially for being made in ONE year.
9 months actually.
@@quentinwade8506 1 day actually.
@@spencer45678 on their hour lunch break after using the toilet, actually
@@jaycuthbert245 only using half of it, actually.
I mean it's basicly bug fixed and reshaded GTA III
The 3D Trilogy (that's not counting the Stories games obviously) are a great ramp up in quality. GTA3 was good, Vice City was brilliant & (to me) San Andreas was perfection.
The trilogy is something out of this world, all games building up both in gameplay, story and lore which gets better with each installments. I love IV and V but there is nothing like the 3d trilogy
@@tomipalasnenas9844 v was a let down and has a rubbish story but amazing graphics and better gameplay and iv has a good story and good physics but it has a terrible gameplay and there really nothing too do. 3d games (3,vc and sa) all the best. best story, best gameplay, best side missions and there tons of things to do
It definitely peaked in that era, havent even been interested in 5
The stories games where great man I loved vice city stories
@@superironman8324 bro what?
That New Wave intro 😍😍😍

San Andreas : Ah here we go again!
Its ah shit you dumbass

This dude: Ah, shit. Here we go again.
It’s ah shit here we go again smart one
To this day, every time I hear someone talk about Vice City. I start singing...
And I ran, I ran so far away
I just ran, I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away
BuckieTronik same. Love flock of seagulls and my favorite song in the game (human league fascination is a very close second)
You should definitely watch videogamedunkey's video about vice city. He keeps singing that song.
That one, 'broken wings' and 'died in your arms tonight' always come to my mind when I think Vice City.
@@Ecliptor. if the law don’t get her then I will Four little Diamonds
I'm from Miami, Cuban and grow up in Lil Havana. So you know I had to get this. I remember playing this on cocaine and it was amazing. The good old days.
@David C oh yes scarface was the shit. I think I played better when I was on cocaine
My favourite song in the game is Rick James "Ghetto Life"
My favorite song is each one of em for some unknown reason lol I mean they have that 80’s vibe
Man my favorite is all of em lmao
This game introduced me to 80's music as a kid.
All Night Long by the Mary Jane Girls and Run DMC Rock Box
My face song is i wanna rock rock
My first exposure to Grand Theft Auto, and still my favorite of the series. The Steam version plays even better than the PS2 version. For one thing, it removes all of the slow down and motion blur that would always throw me off during the vehicle based missions.
Also, digging all of the Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon music.
Motion blur can be turned off I believe.
@@demolitiongod64 Yeah it's in the settings, just turn off the trails.
I knew I recognized the music!
Damn. I should play blood dragon again.
Loren Helgeson yea but playing on M&K that helicopter mission (destroying the construction building) n the remote plane mission r aids
Steam version is alright, but that crappy blur is what makes the ps2 feel special
VPNs and their incredibly misleading and misinforming ads are still one of my most hated parts of TH-cam, and sometimes I wonder if the sponsors know that. Aside that, another great completionist video
They don't care they just want money. Buying a VPN is a huge waste of money unless you're in a country that needs it to make the internet usable.
Alot of the TH-cam sponsors over the years have been shady like nord and express vpn same with honey. Also I will never play raid shadow legends.
Fireassassin16 what’s wrong with honey?
@@lel2015 All you care about is money too pussy boy.
My all-time favorite GTA game to this day
Same, best atmosphere
Facts
The moment you sit in the scooter and Billie Jean starts playing...mmmm!💕
@@sterlingkart9562 it doesn't even do that no more didn't they take that song out of the game what a shame
@@ki11atj49 i got the ps2 version mmm! Screw steam and ps4 ports
I remember being in a gym back in the day... an advert came on the tv that was playing in the background... the music was... Flock of seagulls - I ran, combined with this awesome game footage. That game was GTA Vice city. After being a big fan of GTA 3. I had to play this game!!! I spend many an hour on this beast of a game. Later GTA games may have been better technically. But boy, none have been as good in terms of story, music, theme, feel. This was a beast of a game!
Yes I love vice city because it made me addicted to making stunt videos with the bikes and replay system..
This is officially my favorite Completionist episode 😎
"Trust me...you don't want the cocaine."
The only thing better then that delivery would be if Jirard just looked at the camera for five minutes without blinking then started sobbing...then did the review.
@1 2 "Trust me...you don't want the cocaine."
The only thing better then that delivery would be if Jirard just look at the camera for five minutes without blinking then started sobbing...then did the review.
@1 2 I don't know. Me and 28 other people found it enjoyable.
@1 2 Do you need someone to talk to? I mean if you didn't want a conversation you would have just disliked my comment and made fun of it to your friends later.
So what do you want to talk about? Religion? Politics? Science?
@@griffin2056 Wait am I the Edgelord? How was what I said edgy? Lol
Well that was fun while it lasted.
I still remember the cheat codes for this game.
Man, I beat this game YEARS ago back when it first came out. I think about it somewhat frequently still. Awesome review Jirard. My favorite was how Anthony Cumia from Opie and Anthony did the Pisswasser commercial.
When you could get a new GTA title within a year of the last one. Wow
It's really good to see people are still doing Vice City content even to this moment, despite everyone's saying San Andreas is the best of all, but Vice City will always remain my favorite
1:29 ad skip
@MarioKartGuy27 dont be a bum
@MarioKartGuy27 I agree
That’s dog
@AyeJayTX
I agree, but still, they can always tell us the timestamp so we can skip.
@AyeJayTX who the fuck is Bill wurtz
The 80s synth remix of the Completionist theme is perfection. We need more games set in the 80s!! XD
Play hotline Miami
I have such a weakspot for 80s retro aesthetic, especially with LA and Miami settings, Outrun and Synthwave aesthetic, 80s retrofuturism for cyberpunk. I guess it was because my parents were kids in the 80s so they passed that on to me
The writing for this episode was actually amazing. Please keep this level of scripting quality going.
Ah Vice City! My intro to GTA. I remember playing this on the low low when I was 7 or 8. I don’t know whose PC it was on and who let me play it, but I’m still looking forward to revisiting this title one day and playing it from start to finish lol! 😅
9:46 I saw that Scarface reference. And I embrace it.
What's the reference? I don't notice anything.
@@L33PL4Y it’s technically a reference to the 80’s song “push yourself to the limit” p.s I don’t even think it was a reference
Scarface: The world is yours.
The Godfather: The Game.
The Saboteur.
Please Jirard!
Great idea dude! Pls make it happen
@@bencebacskai2647 Only Jirard can make it happen. We'll continue asking until he delivers.
Gta San Andreas? Jirard
Even though GTA4 is my all time favorite, Vice City is an absolute icon in gaming, Tomy is a great main character, and the soundtrack is godlike.
"La vida es una lenteja, o la tomas o la dejas"
Yeah that GAME is iconic which is created in less than a year the music is absolute banger.
The Completionist: It really felt like the developers put time into thinking about what each individual person was listening to before I carjacked them.
I always found it kind of funny, but it was always a great touch in the GTA games! 😂😄😁👍
GTA VC and GTA SA are seriously some of the best games I’ve ever played. They are so full of personality and atmosphere unlike any game before or after. GTA IV and V stick with story and personality respectively, but VC and SA strike the perfect tone between the two.
Gta probably helped turn me into the introvert I am today lol. Back when multi-player games actually required real friends, this was one the best solo player games to own.
Vice City has one of THE BEST soundtracks ever
That Pjaano at the end! PERFECT!
17 years later and still my favorite game of all time..Thanks for covering it!
If you're going to Miami, Jirard, I would recommend completing Scarface: The World is yours while you're there. It's pretty good and apparently Rockstar took parts of the game they liked and added them to future GTA games. Have some big plays and a merry Christmas.
How polished the game was? I always feel iffy playing movie license games since most of them are just half baked garbage
@@faizalf119 well its not gta but it was good enough that I finished it
Vice City Stories babehh
@@faizalf119 Middle earth shadow of war is pretty fun.
I really loved the motorcycle physics in this game. My favorite is to do a stoppie, then turn the bike around to hit a pedestrian in the head. All this with rocking 80's music. Ahh, good times.
11:26 youtube subtitles: ah yes, granted Otto's
I've completed gta 3, Vice City, San Andreas, and the V (no online), inspired by your gta 3 video earlier this year. So happy about this one, and can't wait to see you toggle the rest :D
You can actually see the filming crew in his shades
Love the videos! Completing a game 100% isn’t easy, especially GTA, major respect!!
One of my favorite childhood games because I would play it with my dad and we would do the stunt jumps and hidden packages together with a huge map we made.
this game was my introduction to the GTA series, also the first time in my life I had to start a new save for myself since my brother completed missions waking up early in the morning.
also got your music references in your seg way pictures.
That thumbnail alone is worth the like. That has to be one of the best Completionist thumbnails since the Bloodborne one (which was less hilariously awesome more straight up badass awesome)
Ah, it's awesome to see Vice City! Although I'm not much of a GTA person, Vice City was my first GTA game and I am pretty nostalgic for it and it's admittedly why I have a soft spot for 80s music (although I have spent more time than I would like to admit listening to Flash FM).
Also cannot wait to see the Persona Dancing games. As far as completion goes, those three are easy not just for rhythm games but for games in general. I kid you not when I tell you I 100% all three of those games in less time than it took to do a single playthrough of Persona 5.
Finally you've completed a game I've actually completed!!! And I did it back in 2003. Lot of work but great experience
I enjoyed hearing Fear Factory at 17:13. Great video! Thumbs up.
Fun fact, a couple of my dad's friends were hired to do voice work in Vice City.
They voiced the S.W.A.T guys that came in the bank during the heist mission.
"YEEEHAAAA!"
Yeah; that part.
Love the vids man you inspire me to complete games myself you're the best 💜💜💜💜
Woooooooo Vice City!!
My favorite GTA game ever.
There was something about the aesthetics,the music and the writting that even to this day makes me totally happy to have played this when it came out back in old ps2 days.
If a game from the past has to be remade,I would vote this one(and crash bandicoot team racing,just a new coat of paint,game is perfect as it is,to me) for sure.
Imagine this in high end hd graphics,synthwave shoved up your ass,new more maniacal hyper80s storys....
Actually it came out for PS2 not PS1
Yeah except it came out on the ps2
@@vincentberglund3213 CTR? No man ,that's a ps1 game mate
Edit: I might have wordedbit wrong.
I was referring to ps1 CTR.
NOT CBTR
@@atk_ogre2185 i meant vice city
@@vincentberglund3213 aaah yes you are right.
I got confused while thinking about CTR.
Will correct it.
Usually I skip past promotional parts of youtube videos, but to help support the completionist, I watch these videos completely.
Loved how the intro music changed. Fun surprise. TBH, I usually skip past the intro but stopped myself today when I heard it was different.
Also, I couldn’t stop looking at the reflection in your mirrored glasses at the end😎. Was fun to get a kinda behind the scenes peak at the rest of the room 🤭🤫😄
I'm always glad to see somebody love this game as much as I do. I know it's not rare by any means, but I love this game and love people talking about what they think about it
"Double doody" - when you wipe because you think you're done, but then more doody comes.
What the hell 😂
The fact you have blood dragon theme playing in the background I love this video!
I remember 100%-ing this game when it came out. It was good times. I still remember a fun anachronism in the game. After you obtain the mansion you can look at the safe in Tommy's office and see that the bills spilling out of it are all modern (for 2002) banknotes. Not the ones that would have been around in the 1980s.
Love how Dust by M.O.O.N from Hotline Miami 2 starts playing at 14:30
Very fitting
Finally found someone in the comments who mentioned hotline Miami
Honestly one of the best songs from one of the best games of all time
"Shut Up, My Math Isn't Strong."
I laughed so hard, also that's a huge mood lol! 😂😂😂
One of my favorite games of all time! So glad you reviewed it
If the next GTA doesn't take place in Vice City, I'll be so upset. I want to knock over kingpins bathed in 60fps 4k neon lights.
4 is liberty city, 5 is san andreas + more, 6 gotta be vice city... or anywhere city
"Sticks and stones break my bones, but when you Go West, you better Call Me!"
Shout outs to everyone who had to go years without a PS2 listening to all their friends rave about GTA games...Then Got The double pack on Xbox!
PS Store?
GTA Vice City And GTA San Andreas PS4?! 😊👍
Omg that was the best birthday I ever had ! Took me so long to convince my mum GTA wasn't that bad haha !
And the double pack is the best console version for those two must've been a fire time🔥
Just played through this myself for the first time this year. I didn't complete it, but even getting 20 hidden packages felt super worth it for that body armor. Such a huge step up from GTA III.
Nice video, was really hoping for a P5 video, but this is cool too.
I was playing this yesterday 😂 love this game, might go for the 100% myself
Sean Murray Where is no mans sky 6 ?
He’s breaking the fourth wall with those sunglasses 😎. You can see the camera crew
I didn't listen to a word he said, I was too focused on the background....
Does he rly need a camera crew for something like this? I think he just placed a
mannequin there for shits and giggles
*_He's.... Pretty good._*
I know it's a few day late but I loved the vid and what you did with opening music.
AHHH!!!! I LOVED the styled theme! Good work TOVG crew!!!
Turn off “trails” in the display menu if you hate that brown haze look.
"Strap On Your Roller Skates Folks, And Throw On Your Shiniest Swim Suit..."
I laughed more than I should have lol! 😂😂😂
The music in this game really helped draw me in. I recently completed it on ps4
vice city was out when I was in high school. Now that I’m older and a platinum trophy junky …. I look forward to playing this again. And appreciating the stuff my HS brain couldn’t appreciate!
Once for xmas, I got entire trilogy for the original XBOX, and I played 3, Vice City and San Andreas back to back to back. It took a year and a hal and I never got bored.
Just how good this game is? Just finished this....again, 6th time on 100% completion since it first came out in 2001! That's how good this game is!
Still my favorite GTA to date! Remember when it came out I was "sick" for a week according to my school and till this day I still listen to the soundtrack. Even completed the game! But on the PS2 so didn't have those nasty achievements those do sound boring.
loved that you played the main theme from Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon at the beginning of this video lol
Played & Beat VC 3times PS2 RegX & PS4 still cant get enough such a classic
Every other metalhead between the ages of 25-35 owes their love for the genre to this game’s soundtrack.
I never would have guessed you'd complete another GTA game so soon after the last one. I'm glad you enjoyed this game, an annoying trophy or two aside.
I’d like to see him attempt to complete kid Icarus uprising, between finishing every chapter on 9.0, opening every panel on all three treasure hunt and getting every idol, I think it could be interesting to watch.
My parents bought me a PS2 and Vice City for Christmas when I was 12 and I loved every moment of it. I really hope Rockstar sets GTA 6 in the 80's it makes since for them too seeing how 4 and 5 are like 3 and San Andreas.
Let's just take a second to appreciate the time and dedication that all the people at the completionist thank you for the hours of fun.
This was one of my main entries into the series even though I had played the original top down shooter GTA way before then. It's a good game for sure but there were always things that annoyed the heck out of me like the fact that your character can't swim and that goddamn plane missions.
I swear the plane controls in that game much like boats are complete bs to manage.
Most of the planes are easy. Just remember to mostly to use the rudder to turn, rather than roll and turn at the same time. There is one exception. The mission where you have to pilot that stupid remote control plane and bomb the Cuban boats below. With a heavy bomb on the belly, that plane was almost impossible to control and harder to bomb cause you can’t see your target once you fly above it!
I just wanna point out the music you used in the background for this video is on point
I love Vice City I still play it every two to three years. It still holds up to this day!. People focus far too much on graphics nowadays. I don't care I just stick it in my PS2 & imagine I'm back in 2002/2003.
Everything about it is great the Protagonist the soundtrack the storyline the gameplay the cars the missions the characters the weapons the graphics the atmosphere & the city itself it's one of the greatest games of all time!
Anyone who disagrees isn't a true gaming fan & doesn't appreciate what Vice city did for the gaming industry.
I liked GTA 3 but Vice City was a massive improvement and even after 18 years it's still clear to see what a mind blowing game this was in 2002.
19:18 Eric Prydz - Pjanoo
You'll thank me later
Now when is San Andreas with cj from grove street
Just follow the damn train CJ!
I'm in the process of playing through that for pretty much the first time, and I'm loving everything about it. The quotes are fucking hilarious and CJ is amazing.
@@Cheesehead302 wonderful to see ones virginity to that game taken even in these days
@@isaacster5027 Yeah I believe I played it in passing when I was a kid when my cousin would bring his PS2 over; I remember just running around aimlessly lmao. Actually, besides that game I've never really played a GTA game for an extended period of time, and this videos makes me want to check out the othwr games in the franchise.
@@Cheesehead302 you totally should. I'm only 14, all these games came out before I was born, but I discovered vice city on my phone a few years ago, and now I have every main entry in the series except 1 and 2 on pc and ps2. I wanna get 1 and 2 on ps2 soon
This is my favourite video from you guys .
I love that u put the song from blooddragon in the vid! Love that game!
I just realized the gun in the thumbnail has an orange tip soooooooooooo it is a airsoft gun. Imagine a thug runnin up on u with a airsoft gun 😂😂😂
Or maybe Its painted orange to fool people
what's that song playing at the very end? It totally sounds like EDM, but I'm not sure if EDM existed in the 80s.
Its dj pryda = pjanoo
Eric Prydz - Pjanoo
Simply put, it's literally the best video game that has ever and will ever be made. From the film cameos to the 5 star actors doing the voices to the 80's music and hilarious radio talk shows to the storyline with the beautiful map and so on. Thankyou for being my childhood.
Haven't even watched the video yet, just wanted to say that Vice City is a game I hold close and dear to my heart, I've played it several times and the soundtrack is burned into my mind. I tried to 100% it and only got to 97% until I got burned out, I only missed some jumps and a few secret packages. I commend you for completing it.
Wanted uncharted 4 but I’ll gladly take this
My first gta was vice city stories. Im yet to play the original tho
You’re a huge inspiration to me and my gaming channel
Intro music was thA BEST! Please leave it like this for the future.
Neon Lights and Linen Suits sound like good track names for a synthwave album I'm about to plan out. Hot damn.
