GTA IV Review (Game Reviews) (Reviews)

 Review by Warren Woodhouse

Rating: 9.8/10

Like most games of recent, the reason I dislike GTA IV is that they added in multiplayer online trophies. These always end up being unobtainable long after a game has been released. They could have added these to a separate trophy set. Still, it is my favourite for immersion, size (it may not be huge but it’s density contributes to size), mechanics, physics and even its interestingly tasteful soundtrack, Liberty City felt truly unique and quintessential. The endless hours of enjoyment from the diverse comedy and cabaret clubs, the variety of activities, taverns and more; certainly a city worth visiting. They really made it feel unique and beautiful all at the same time. A masterpiece still to this day.

Deborah Harry Cameo

A one-off cameo voiceover appearance of Deborah Harry (aka Blondie) as the voice of the taxi cab operator at Kaufman Cabs in Little Haiti.

Steven Mullholland RIP

A reference to the art designer Steven Mullholland is seen in the front window display at Funeria Romero in Little Haiti.

Vandalised 1931 Dracula Film Poster

A vandalised 1931 Dracula Film Poster is seen in the front window display at Funeria Romero in Little Haiti. In The Definitive Edition, the Film Poster has been cleaned up.

Gash Shopping Bag

If you use the Casual Outfit from Gash in The North Point Mall, head to the Vercetti Estate and you’ll find Gash Shopping Bags scattered throughout the interior of mansion.

The Definitive Edition Inaccuracies

The following, listed below, are inaccuracies found throughout The Definitive Edition version of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. These were all seen during v1.05.

• Graphics: Nearly all of the original graphics have been replaced with newly updated graphics, some of which have incorrect dates for the 1986 setting. This includes magazines, posters, billboards and vending machines.

• Lance Vance’s Cop Land Outfit: Lance is still wearing his old facial skin and outfit in The Definitive Edition version of the “Cop Land” mission.

• Film Posters: This includes the Richards Majestic film posters which are from the 2012 setting of Los Santos in Grand Theft Auto V.

• Oh No Music Album: Oh No never made music in 1986 as he started his career in the 90’s.

The Godfather II Film Reference

The stadium named Hyman Memorial Stadium is named after the tritagonist character from the film The Godfather II, Hyman Roth.

Hyman Memorial Stadium Trophies

In the Vercetti Estate mansion, you’ll find the trophies on top of the TV in the living room area for all three of the Stadium Events.

Beta Vice City Map

In the original and in The Definitive Edition, you’ll see a copy of the original Beta version of Vice City’s map used for the Vice Street Racer map at Sunshine Autos in Little Havana.

Rockstar Games Logo Shaped Swimming Pool

You’ll find a Rockstar Games Logo shaped Swimming Pool on Starfish Island. If you use a helicopter, you can get a better view.

1980’s Gaming Screen

As soon as you start up the game disc, you’ll see the logo introduction sequences and one of them is in the style of the 1980’s when gaming started to become more serious at homes.

Shooting Range Trophies

In the Vercetti Estate mansion, you’ll find the Shooting Range paper shots on top of a coffee table in the office. You’ll also see some field range manuals on the desk in the office as well. You’ll also see a Shooter of the Month trophy on top of the TV in the hotel room at The Ocean View Hotel in Ocean Beach.

Rockstar Games Video Games Store

A frontage of Rockstar Games as a video games store can be seen near The Pole Position Club in Ocean Beach.

Boomshine Barrels

A couple of barrels of Boomshine can be seen in the hotel room at The Ocean View Hotel in Ocean Beach. This is available after completing the mission “Boomshine Saigon”.

The Village People Spoof

A spoof of The Village People can be seen dancing on stage at The Malibu Club in Vice Point.

The Deeper the Sea, The Braver the Man Quote

A quote on the side of warship in Studio A can be seen at InterGlobal Film Studios on Prawn Island. The quote is the name of the scene in the in-game film Bite, which is a reference to Jaws. However, the setting is 1986 in the game and this suggests that the quote is a reference to the Orca which was seen destroyed and sunk in Jaws 2. At the rear of the studio complex in the strait between Vice City Mainland and Prawn Island, you’ll find a sunken and destroyed Reefer in the sea. This suggests that the scenery and Bite is actually a reference to Jaws 2, which was released in 1986.

Scarface Film Reference

Most of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is loosely based on the film Scarface along with the red interior Vercetti Estate mansion, the trophy named “Salutations My Little Friend” and the 1980’s drug scene setting of Vice City.

Psycho Film Reference

In Washington Beach area, near the Pay ‘n’ Spray and multi-storey car park, you’ll find a motel room that has an entrance symbol outside. Stepping into the room and you’ll find blood in the bathtub along with a chainsaw, an obvious reference to the film Psycho.
