Grand Theft Auto 3 was released eighteen months ago and since has sold 7 million copies, becoming the most sold playstaion game of all time. With this said Rockstar recently announced Grand Theft Auto Vice the next title in the Grand Theft Auto series. Can it surpass Grand theft Auto well until October 22nd we will not know we can only speculate but from the newly released pictures it looks like Grand Theft Auto Vice is 2 times better then Grand Theft Auto 3.
But what fans really want is to go inside the buildings in Vice City.Rockstar responded to what fans wanted and gave it to them. There will be at least 50 interior locations including a bank, shopping mall, coffee shop and night club packed with dancing patrons and an airport jammed with ticket counters and customers. Most of these places will be interactive as well. For instance the main chatracter will be able to buy new clothing at stores. And be sure to visit the re-vamped Amu-Nation where we're told you can do badthings you've always wanted to do....can you say robbery.
Also you can not only do drive bys from a motor cycle but you can shoot directly in front of you while riding one something that was simply in-possible before. Also rockstar has promised that some of your weapons will be usable from the chopper. Imagine sniping a target out of a chopper or loading a plane full of explosives so you can bomb a boat right out of the bay. There is also more realism than before you can bail out of a moving vehical now and most vehicals tires can now be shot out making them more difficult to control.
Rockstar is keeping the storyline under wraps, but promises
an openended plot that tales player from being screwed to getting more screwed to finally figuring out whats going on; oddly rockstar rep reffered to Tommy as the first character in an interview which lead up to the interviewer to beleive there are additional characters rockstar would neither confirm nor deny the possiblity when asked about it.

Story:
So far the story goes as follows, Timmy Vercetti a street soldier for the Forelii Brothers who was just released from a prison sentence. As rewarded for his silence, Sonny Forelli sends Tommy to Vice city to expand there crime empire.Tommy's deal goes really wrong and they end up losing a large bit of money. Sonny gets really mad and goes after you wanting his money back.
Tommy runs into a little bit of luck throgh his relationship with Ken Rosenburg (I wonder if R* are eminem fans hmm... Ken Kaniff...Paul Rosenburg...I dont know) a shady lawyer with connections to the Vice City underworld. Rosenburg brings Tommy to a boat party which will be attended by alot of the leaders of the criminal scene. Rockstar ends it at that but we can guess what happends at the party.
I will add more details as they come check back weekly.
