Rise FM & Lips 106 > Vice Citys whole soundtrack
The overlooked game of the generation of iconic GTA games, and for understandable reason. But where its lacking compared other GTA games it makes up more in dense atmosphere that is just as good as its sequels. Rolling through the miserable city drowned in dense fog with late 90's Drums n bass blasting on the radio is honestly mesmerising and the map of Liberty City is an absolute blast to mess around in.
The open ended mission structure is also a standout feature of the game and makes up for the severely out-dated and underdeveloped controls. The first half of the story is great, which a likeable cast and fun missions, but it takes a nosedive in quality after the first island with a plot that introduces way too many new elements without really tying anything together, and missions that push the game far beyond its technical capabilities.
While most of the shitty fucking parts of this game were fixed in the sequels, a lot of what makes this game so fun and charming were left behind when Rockstar pushed the series in a new direction, which makes this game a special entry to the series in my opinion.
