Is there some kind of patch or solution that can fix the CRAZY Y-axis sensitivity (which is NOT affected by the option) and lack of vehicle sounds? I don't know how Rockstar screwed up on the PC port, and I bought this on Steam, I thought it would be perfect because to be honest with you, I may have pirated it off the internet, thinking it was an error.

I wish I had a fix for you. Rockstar's PC ports are atrocious in terms of quality. The support for modding is nice but they also screw quite a number of things up that sort of downgrade the experience. I never got Vice City on PC to control comfortably, and GTA 4 was only playable for me with an XBox controller. Then Game For Windows Live on top of the terrible Rockstar Social club, on top of steam. And don't get me started on optimization. The last time I tried playing GTA 4 the framerate was unplayable on every graphics setting, and my computer is no slouch, it can play anything.

I played GTA VC with a gamepad, so I didn't notice the sensitivity issue you speak of. Also had no problems with the sound as far as I recall.

But yes, GTA VC on the PC is a pile of shit nevertheless, just like all of Rockstar's PC ports. GTA 4 arguably being the worst - you need an astronomically powerful system to get acceptable framerates with the quality settings turned up.

The PC ports are hard to control with a mouse and keyboard, outside of basic running and driving (so GTA3 is pretty playable, and VC/SA are nearly unplayable once you need aircraft, particularly planes in SA). Aiming is definitely nicer, but that hardly makes up for how hard it is to control a helicopter/plane. The gamepad support leaves a lot to be desired; I know GTA3 had the axises backwards on my PS2 controller, while SA wouldn't let you bind the D-pad so you couldn't mimic the PS2 control scheme on it. Luckily with SA there's a program called SAAC that'll let you fix its control issues, but you need to downgrade to v1.0. No such luck with GTA3/VC.

With the GTA3 trilogy, I definitely think you get a better experience overall on the PS2. At the same time, it's really hard to go back to low res and a 25 FPS cap after playing the games on the PC.

It is? News to me.

Back in the day I remember hearing a lot of complaints about the heli dynamite planting mission from VC, which is ridiculously easy for me. Same goes for SA's plane races, flying school, etc.

Congratulations, you're better at a video game than me!

I personally found the mouse and keyboard flying controls atrocious and they're what finally forced me to switch to a controller for these games.

I could never finish this level back in the days (around 2002/2003) but this month I decided to complete 100% of vice city (damn, hidden packages/stunt jumps were a pain but I made it) and to achieve my goal I had to try this mission again. Turns out I didn't knew the helicopters and airplanes had a "second control" on the numeric keypad specific for going ahead/backwards and quickly changing the horizontal orientation (I configured them to be 8,4,5,6 like in W,A,S,D) and suddenly it got a lot f*cking easier. The same for the dodo and rc airplanes.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is a 2002 action-adventure game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games. It is the fourth main game in the Grand Theft Auto series, following 2001's Grand Theft Auto III, and the sixth entry overall. Set in 1986 within the fictional Vice City (based on Miami and Miami Beach), the single-player story follows mobster Tommy Vercetti's rise to power after being released from prison and becoming caught up in an ambushed drug deal. While seeking out those responsible, Tommy gradually builds a criminal empire by seizing power from other criminal organisations in the city.

The game is played from a third-person perspective and its world is navigated on foot or by vehicle. The open world design lets the player freely roam Vice City, consisting of two main islands. The game's plot is based on multiple real-world people and events in Miami such as Cubans, Haitians, and biker gangs, the 1980s crack epidemic, the Mafioso drug lords of Miami, and the dominance of glam metal. The game was also influenced by the films and television of the era, most notably Scarface and Miami Vice. Much of the development work constituted creating the game world to fit the inspiration and time period; the development team conducted extensive field research in Miami while creating the world. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City was released in October 2002 for the PlayStation 2, in May 2003 for Windows, and in November 2003 for the Xbox.

Upon its release, Vice City received critical acclaim, with praise particularly directed at its music, gameplay, story, and open world design. However, the game also generated controversy over its depiction of violence and racial groups, sparking lawsuits and protests. Vice City became the best-selling video game of 2002 and has sold over 17.5 million copies. Considered one of the most significant titles of the sixth generation of video games and one of the greatest video games ever made, it won numerous year-end accolades including Game of the Year awards from several gaming publications.

Since its release, the game has received numerous ports to many gaming platforms. An enhanced version was released for mobile platforms in 2012 for the game's tenth anniversary, and a further enhanced version was released in 2021. Its successor, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, was released in October 2004, and a prequel, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, was released in October 2006.

In combat, auto-aim can be used as assistance against enemies.[11] Should the player take damage, their health meter can be fully regenerated through the use of health pick-ups.[12] Body armour can be used to absorb gunshots and explosive damage, but is used up in the process.[13] When health is entirely depleted, gameplay stops and the player respawns at the nearest hospital while losing all weapons and armour and some of their money.[5] If the player commits crimes while playing, the game's law enforcement agencies may respond as indicated by a "wanted" meter in the head-up display (HUD), which increases as the player commits more crimes. On the meter, the displayed stars indicate the current wanted level, and the higher the level, the greater the response for law enforcement[5] (for example, at the maximum six-star level, police helicopters and military swarm to lethally dispatch players).[8]

During the story, Tommy meets characters from various gangs. As the player completes missions for different gangs, fellow gang members will often defend the player, while rival gang members will recognise the player and subsequently shoot on sight. While free roaming the game world, the player may engage in activities such as a vigilante minigame, a fire fighting activity, a paramedic service and a taxi cab service. Completion of these activities grants the player with context-specific rewards.[9] As Tommy builds his criminal empire, the player may purchase a number of properties distributed across the city, some of which act as additional hideouts where weapons can be collected and vehicles can be stored.[14] There are also a variety of businesses which can be purchased, including a pornographic film studio, a taxi company, and several entertainment clubs. Each commercial property has a number of missions attached to it, such as eliminating competition or stealing equipment; once all missions are complete, the property begins to generate an ongoing income available for the player.[8]

In 1986, mobster Tommy Vercetti (voiced by Ray Liotta) is released from prison after serving a fifteen-year sentence for murder. His boss Sonny Forelli (Tom Sizemore), seeking to establish drug operations in the South, sends Tommy to Vice City to oversee an important drug deal alongside crooked lawyer Ken Rosenberg (William Fichtner). However, the deal is ambushed by unknown assailants, with Tommy and Ken barely escaping. Angered upon hearing the news, Sonny orders Tommy to recover the drugs, alongside the money Sonny gave to him, under threat of consequences. Seeking information, Ken points Tommy towards retired army colonel Juan Garcia Cortez (Robert Davi), who helped set up the exchange. Expressing regret for the ambush, Cortez promises to find out who masterminded it.

While investigating, Tommy meets with several people who offer him help: music director Kent Paul (Danny Dyer), who maintains connections with the city's criminal underworld; Lance Vance (Philip Michael Thomas), who aided in the deal and lost his brother in the ambush; Texan business tycoon Avery Carrington (Burt Reynolds), who in return enlists Tommy's help with several deals; and drug kingpin Ricardo Diaz (Luis Guzmn), who employs both Tommy and Lance. Eventually, Cortez begins voicing his suspicions that Diaz organised the ambush. Upon further investigation, Lance discovers this to be true and, against Tommy's advice, tries to kill Diaz, only to get himself captured. After Tommy saves Lance, the pair kills Diaz before he can retaliate.
