Our Expert Score

95/100

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City on mobile is a technical marvel and a nostalgic powerhouse. Transporting the neon-soaked, 1980s Miami-inspired world of Tommy Vercetti to a handheld device feels like magic. The port is handled with care, offering updated character models, lighting effects, and a fully customizable control scheme that makes the transition from console to touch-screen much smoother than expected.

Everything we loved is here: the incredible licensed soundtrack featuring MJ and Blondie, the star-studded voice cast (Ray Liotta is legendary), and the open-ended mayhem. Whether you're following the gripping crime narrative or just cruising down Ocean Drive in a Cheetah, the atmosphere is unmatched. It remains one of the greatest open-world games ever made, and this mobile version is the perfect way to experience it again.

Welcome back to Vice City. Welcome back to the 1980s.

From the decade of big hair, excess and pastel suits comes a story of one man's rise to the top of the criminal pile.
