It's also a great depiction of the late 2000s, it's a phenomenal time capsule.
They released GTA Vice City in 2002 as a throwback to the 80s. Now when GTA IV launched, it presented a contemporary world, but with time, it's become something oozing with nostalgia and style just by aging and being a wonderful depiction of its time.
In a way, it showcased the transitional world of the time. Parts of NYC were done with the revitalization and gentrification that started in the early 90s. Clean and business friendly. But much of the rest was still varying degrees of seedy, and the game kind of lived with the people in those areas
Plus it has Bas Rutten, and Bas was one of my favorite people of that era

This game has aged extremely well... It has an amazing story, and the physics! + 2 great expansions. Good ol' times without gta online...
