'''''Grand Theft Auto: Vice City''''' [[2002-yil]]da chiqarilgan [[jangari-sarguzasht oʻyin|jangari-sarguzasht]] janridagi [[videooʻyin]]dir. [[Rockstar North]] kompaniyasi tomonidan ishlangan va [[Rockstar Games]] kompaniyasi tomonidan tarqatilgan. Ushbu oʻyin „[[Grand Theft Auto]]“ seriyasining toʻrtinchi asosiy oʻyini boʻlib, [[2001-yil]]dagi „[[Grand Theft Auto III]]“dan keyin chiqarilgan. Oʻyin voqealari [[1986-yil]]da [[Miami]] va [[Miami Beach]] shaharlari asosida yaratilgan xayoliy [[Vice city]] shahrida sodir boʻladi. Yakka oʻyinchi rejimidagi syujet qamoqdan chiqqanidan soʻng muvaffaqiyatsiz narkotik moddalar kelishuviga aralashib qolgan mafiya aʼzosi [[Tommy Vercetti]]ning hokimiyat choʻqqisiga koʻtarilish jarayonini tasvirlaydi. Aybdorlarni qidirar ekan, Tommy asta-sekin shahardagi boshqa jinoiy tashkilotlardan hokimiyatni tortib olib, oʻzining jinoiy imperiyasini barpo etadi.

Oʻyin uchinchi shaxs nuqtai nazaridan oʻynaladi va ochiq dunyoda piyoda yoki transport vositasi yordamida harakatlanish mumkin. Ochiq dunyo dizayni oʻyinchiga ikki asosiy oroldan iborat [[Vice City]]ni erkin kezish imkonini beradi. „Grand Theft Auto: Vice City“ oʻyini [[1980-yil]]lar Mayami shahri muhitini juda aniq aks ettirgan. Oʻyinda davr pop-madaniyati, musiqasi va uslubiga katta eʼtibor qaratilgan. Oʻyin syujeti [[Mayami]]dagi haqiqiy odamlar va voqealar, jumladan, [[kuba]]liklar, [[gaiti]]liklar va [[baykerlar]] guruhlari, 1980-yillardagi krek epidemiyasi ([[inglizcha]]: ''Crack epidemic''), Mayamidagi mafiya narkobaronlari va glem-metal musiqasining hukmronligi kabi hodisalarga asoslangan. Shuningdek, oʻyinga oʻsha davr filmlari va televideniyesi, ayniqsa [[Scarface]] va [[Miami Vice]] katta taʼsir koʻrsatgan. Ishlab chiqish jarayonining asosiy qismi ilhomlanilgan manbalarga va vaqt davriga mos keladigan oʻyin dunyosini yaratishdan iborat edi. Ishlab chiquvchilar jamoasi dunyoni yaratish jarayonida [[Mayami]]da keng qamrovli tadqiqotlarni amalga oshirgan. ''"Grand Theft Auto: Vice City"'' [[2002-yil]] [[oktyabr]]ida [[PlayStation 2]] uchun, [[2003-yil]] [[may]]ida [[Windows]] uchun va [[2003-yil]] [[noyabr]]ida [[Xbox]] uchun chiqarilgan.

Chiqarilishi bilan „Vice City“ tanqidchilar tomonidan yuqori baholanadi. Ayniqsa uning musiqasi, oʻyin jarayoni, syujeti va ochiq dunyo dizayni maqtovga sazovor boʻladi. Biroq, oʻyin zoʻravonlik va irqiy guruhlarning tasvirlanishi tufayli bahslar keltirib chiqargan, bu esa sudlarga murojaat qilish va norozilik namoyishlariga sabab boʻladi. „Vice City“ 17.5 million nusxadan ortiq sotilgan va [[2002-yil]]ning eng koʻp sotilgan video oʻyiniga aylangan. U oltinchi avlod video oʻyinlarining eng muhim namunalaridan biri va barcha davrlarning eng buyuk video oʻyinlaridan biri sifatida tan olinadi. Koʻplab oʻyin nashrlari uni „Yil oʻyini“ mukofotiga loyiq koʻrishgan.

Chiqarilganidan soʻng, oʻyin koʻplab oʻyin platformalariga moslashtirilgan. [[2012-yil]]da oʻyinning oʻn yilligi munosabati bilan mobil platformalar uchun yaxshilangan versiyasi chiqarilgan. [[2021-yil]]da esa [[Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition|yanada takomillashgan versiyasi (Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition)]] taqdim etiladi. Uning davomchisi „[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]“ [[2004-yil]] [[oktyabr]]ida chiqarilgan, davomi sifatidagi prikveli „[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]“ esa [[2006-yil]] [[oktyabr]]ida chiqarilgan.

== Oʻyinning borishi ==
"Grand Theft Auto: Vice City" – bu uchinchi shaxs nuqtai nazaridan oʻynaladigan [[jangari-sarguzasht oʻyin|jangari-sarguzasht]] [[Videooʻyin|oʻyini]]. Oʻyinchi bosh qahramon jinoyatchi [[Tommy Vercetti]]ni boshqaradi va syujetni rivojlantirish uchun missiyalarni – aniq maqsadlari boʻlgan chiziqli senariylarni bajaradi. Oʻyinda bir vaqtning oʻzida bir nechta missiyalar mavjud boʻlishi mumkin, chunki baʼzi missiyalar oʻyinchidan keyingi koʻrsatmalar yoki voqealarni kutishni talab qiladi. Missiyalardan tashqari, oʻyinchi oʻyinning ochiq dunyosini erkin kezishi va ixtiyoriy qoʻshimcha topshiriqlarni bajarishi mumkin.<ref name="AllGame Review" />. Oʻyin dunyosi ikki asosiy orol va bir nechta kichik hududlardan iborat boʻlib, maydoni jihatidan seriyaning avvalgi qismlariga qaraganda ancha kattaroq<ref name="GameSpot Level Design" />. Orollar syujet rivojlanishi davomida oʻyinchi uchun ochiladi<ref name="Eurogamer Review" />.

Oʻyinchi oʻyin dunyosida yugurishi, sakrashi yoki transport vositalarini boshqarishi mumkin. Dushmanlarga qarshi kurashish uchun yaqin masofadagi hujumlar, oʻqotar qurollar va portlovchi moddalardan foydalanadi. Oʻqotar qurollarga [[Colt Python]] revolveri, [[M60 pulemyoti]] va Minigun kabi qurollar kiradi<ref name="IGN Guns" /><ref name="IGN Inside 3" />. Oʻyinning uch oʻlchovli muhiti snayper va raketali quroldan nishonga olishda birinchi shaxs koʻrinishidan foydalanish imkonini beradi. Bundan tashqari, oʻyindagi jang tizimi oʻyinchiga transport vositasida harakatlanayotganda yon tomonga qarab otish imkoniyatini beradi<ref name="GameRev Review" /><ref name="GameSpot Review" />.
Oʻyin keng koʻlamli qurol tanlovini taqdim etilgan – ularni mahalliy qurol-yarogʻ sotuvchilaridan sotib olish, yerdan topish, halok boʻlgan dushmanlardan olish yoki shahar boʻylab topish mumkin{{sfn|Rockstar North|2002|p=14}}.

Jang paytida dushmanlarga qarshi [[avtomatik mo'ljal olish]] ([[inglizcha]]: ''auto-aim'') yordamchi vosita sifatida ishlatilishi mumkin<ref name="GameSpot PC Review" />. Agar oʻyinchi zarar koʻrsa, uning sogʻligʻi sogʻliqni tiklash vositalari yordamida toʻliq tiklanishi mumkin. Oʻq va portlash zarbalarini yutish uchun zirhdan foydalanish mumkin, lekin bu jarayonda zirh taʼsiri tugashi mumkin<ref name="GameSpot Walkthrough" />. Sogʻliq toʻliq tugaganda, oʻyin toʻxtaydi va oʻyinchi eng yaqin kasalxonada qayta paydo boʻladi, bunda barcha qurollari va zirhini, shuningdek, pulining bir qismini yoʻqotadi<ref name="Eurogamer Review" />. Agar oʻyinchi oʻyin davomida jinoyatlar sodir etsa, oʻyinning huquqni muhofaza qilish organlari ekranning yuqori qismidagi „qidiruvdagi“ koʻrsatkich orqali koʻrsatilganidek javob berishi mumkin. Bu koʻrsatkich oʻyinchi koʻproq jinoyat sodir etgan sari oshib boradi. Koʻrsatkichdagi yulduzchalar joriy qidiruv darajasini koʻrsatadi va daraja qanchalik yuqori boʻlsa, huquqni muhofaza qilish organlari tomonidan koʻrsatiladigan javob shunchalik kuchli boʻladi<ref name="Eurogamer Review" /> (masalan, eng yuqori oltinchi daraja boʻlgan holda, politsiya vertolyotlari va harbiylar oʻyinchilarni yoʻq qilish uchun toʻplanadi)<ref name="GameRev Review" />.

Syujet davomida Tommy turli toʻdalardan boʻlgan personajlar bilan uchrashadi. Oʻyinchi ular uchun topshiriqlarni bajarganida, oʻsha toʻda aʼzolari koʻpincha oʻyinchini himoya qiladi, raqib toʻda aʼzolari esa oʻyinchini tanib, darhol otishni boshlaydi. Oʻyin dunyosini erkin kezish paytida, oʻyinchi qonun himoyachisi mini-oʻyini, oʻt oʻchirish faoliyati, tez yordam xizmati va taksi xizmati kabi faoliyatlar bilan shugʻullanishi mumkin. Bu faoliyatlarni yakunlash oʻyinchiga kontekstga xos mukofotlar beradi<ref name="GameSpot Review" />. Tommi oʻzining jinoiy imperiyasini qurganida, oʻyinchi shahar boʻylab joylashgan bir qator koʻchmas mulklarni sotib olishi mumkin. Ularning baʼzilari qoʻshimcha yashirinish joylari vazifasini bajaradi, u yerda qurollarni yigʻish va transport vositalarini saqlash mumkin<ref name="Edge Review" />. Shuningdek, pornografik film studiyasi, taksi kompaniyasi va bir nechta koʻngilochar klublar kabi turli bizneslarni ham sotib olish mumkin. Har bir tijorat koʻchmas mulkiga bir qator topshiriqlar biriktirilgan, masalan, raqobatchilarni yoʻq qilish yoki jihozlarni oʻgʻirlash; barcha topshiriqlar bajarilgandan soʻng, koʻchmas mulk oʻyinchi uchun doimiy daromad keltira boshlaydi<ref name="GameRev Review" />.

== Syujeti ==
[[1986-yil]]da, mafiya aʼzosi [[Tommy Vercetti]] ([[Ray Liotta]] ovoz bergan) qotillik uchun oʻn besh yillik qamoq jazosini oʻtab, ozodlikka chiqadi. Uning bossi Sonny Forelli ([[Tom Sizemore]] ovoz bergan), janubda narkotik biznesini yoʻlga qoʻymoqchi boʻlib, Tommyni muhim narkotik kelishuvi ustidan nazorat qilish uchun [[Vice City]]ga yuboradi. Biroq kelishuv nomaʼlum hujumchilar tomonidan buziladi va Tommy hamda uning hamkori, poraxoʻr advokat Ken Rosenberg ([[William Fichtner]]) zoʻrgʻa qochib qutuladi. Bu xabarni eshitib gʻazablangan Sonny, Tommiga narkotiklarni va unga bergan pullarini qaytarib olishni, aks holda oqibatlari ogʻir boʻlishini aytadi. Ken kelishuv paytida kimlar hujum qilganini izlash maqsadida maʼlumotlar olish uchun Tommyni isteʼfodagi armiya polkovnigi Juan Garcia Cortez ([[Robert Davi]]) bilan tanishtiradi. Cortez hujum uchun hamdardlik bildirib, uni kim uyushtirganini aniqlashga vaʼda beradi. Tergov davomida Tommy shahar jinoiy dunyosi bilan aloqalari bor musiqa direktori Kent Paul ([[Denni Dayer]]), kelishuvda ishtirok etgan va hujumda akasidan ayrilgan Lance Vance ([[Philip Michael Thomas]]), yordami evaziga Tommydan bir nechta kelishuvlarda yordam soʻraydigan [[texas]]lik biznes magnati Avery Carrington ([[Burt Reynolds]]) va keyinchalik Tommy hamda Lanceni ishga oladigan narkobaron Ricardo Diaz ([[Luis Guzmán]]) kabi bir nechta yordam taklif qiluvchi shaxslar bilan uchrashadi. Vaqt oʻtishi bilan Kortez hujumni Diaz uyushtirganidan shubhalanayotganini bildiradi. Qoʻshimcha tergov natijasida Lance bu haqiqat ekanligini aniqlaydi va Tommyning maslahatiga quloq solmay, Diazni oʻldirmoqchi boʻladi, lekin oʻzi asirga tushadi. Tommy Lanceni qutqargach, ular Diaz qasos olishga urinishidan oldin uni oʻldiradilar.

Diaz oʻlganidan soʻng, Tommy uning mulklarini qoʻlga kiritadi va Averyning maslahati bilan oʻzining yangi jinoiy imperiyasini kengaytirishga kirishadi. U bizneslarni himoya puli toʻlashga majbur qiladi va bankrot boʻlishga yaqin kompaniyalarni sotib olib, ularni noqonuniy operatsiyalar uchun niqob sifatida ishlatadi. Tommy oʻz bizneslarini raqiblardan himoya qilish uchun shaxsiy toʻda tuzadi va bir nechta nufuzli toʻda yetakchilariga yordam beradi, ular oʻz navbatida uning kengayishini qoʻllab-quvvatlashiga umid qiladi. U Kortezga oʻgʻirlangan harbiy jihozlar bilan shahardan qochishga yordam beradi.
Vaqt oʻtib, Sonny Tommyning Vice Citydagi narkotik savdosini toʻliq nazoratga olganini va Forellilarni bu ishga aralashtirmaganini bilib qoladi. Uning mustaqilligidan gʻazablangan Sonny, Tommyning bizneslaridan zoʻrlik bilan pul yigʻish uchun oʻz odamlarini yuboradi. Javob tariqasida, Tommy Sonnining odamlarini oʻldiradi va u bilan aloqalarni uzadi.

Keyinroq, Sonnyning shaxsan Vice Cityga kelib, oʻziga tegishli deb bilgan pullarni yigʻmoqchi ekanligini aytganda, Tommy unga soxta pullar bilan toʻlov qilishga urinadi. Biroq, Sonny oʻn besh yil oldin Tommyning qamalishiga oʻzi sababchi boʻlganini ochib tashlaydi. Shuningdek, Tommining hokimiyatga koʻtarilishi paytidan beri oʻzini yetarli darajada qadrlmaganini his qilgan Lance Tommyga xiyonat qilib, Forellilar bilan ittifoq tuzganini maʼlum qiladi. Tommining saroyida otishma boshlanadi. Tommi Forellilarning pullarini oʻgʻirlashiga yoʻl qoʻymaydi va xiyonati uchun Lanceni oʻldiradi, soʻngra Sonnyni ham oʻldiradi. Ken qirgʻin sahnasiga yetib kelganda, Tommy unga hamma narsa endi joyida ekanligini, chunki u oʻzini Vice Cityning soʻzsiz jinoiy qiroli ekanligini aytadi.

[[Rockstar North]] kompaniyasining 50 kishilik asosiy jamoasi „Grand Theft Auto: Vice City“ oʻyinini 18 oy davomida ishlab chiqishgan<ref name="NYT" />. Toʻliq ishlab chiqish 2001-yil oxirida, „[[Grand Theft Auto III]]“ yakunlanayotgan paytda boshlanadi<ref name="Design Museum" />. Dastlabki ishlab chiqish faqat 3D modellarni yaratishni oʻz ichiga olgan boʻlsa-da, ijrochi producer [[Sam Houser]] jarayon 2002-yil boshida chinakamiga boshlangani va taxminan toʻqqiz oy davom etganini aytdi<ref name="Edge 2" />.
„[[Grand Theft Auto III]]“ning [[Windows]] versiyasi chiqarilgandan soʻng, ishlab chiqish jamoasi oʻyinga yangi missiyalar, qurollar va transport vositalari qoʻshadigan missiya toʻplami yaratishni muhokama qiladi. Keyingi muhokamalar natijasida jamoa bu gʻoyani mustaqil oʻyin sifatida ishlab chiqishga qaror qiladi va bu „Vice City“ nomi ostida chiqariladi<ref name="Digital Trends" />.

Oʻyin [[2002-yil]] [[22-may]]da [[Electronic Entertainment Expo]] davomida eʼlon qilingan<ref name="GameSpot Announcement" />. U Rockstar North uchun oʻsha paytdagi eng qimmat oʻyin boʻlib, byudjeti 5 million AQSh dollarini tashkil etgan. 2002-yil 5-sentyabrda kompaniya mahsulotga boʻlgan talabni qondirish uchun chiqarilish sanasini 22-oktyabrdan 29-oktyabrga surilganini eʼlon qilgan<ref name="GameSpot Delay" />. 2002-yil 15-oktyabrga kelib, „Vice City“ yaratilish jarayoni toʻxtatildi va oʻyin ishlab chiqarishga topshiriladi<ref name="GameSpot Gold" />. Oʻyin [[2002-yil]] [[29-oktyabr]]da [[Shimoliy Amerika]]da va [[8-noyabr]]da [[Yevropa]]da [[PlayStation 2]] uchun chiqarildi<ref name="Date PS2"/>. [[Capcom]] oʻyinni [[Yaponiya]]da [[2004-yil]] [[20-may]]da [[PlayStation 2]] va [[Windows]] uchun chiqargan<ref name="IGN Capcom" />. Oʻyin [[2019-yil]] sentyabrida [[Rockstar Games Launcher]]ga qoʻshiladi<ref name="Gamasutra Rockstar Launcher" />.

=== Voqealar joyi ===
Oʻyin [[1986-yil]]da, Mayami shahri asosida yaratilgan xayoliy [[Vice City]] shahrida sodir boʻladi<ref name="GameSpot Graphics" />. Vice City ilk bor original „[[Grand Theft Auto]]“ (1997) oʻyinida paydo boʻlgan. Ishlab chiqish jamoasi bu shaharni qayta ishlatishga va studiya ishchilari hamda muxlislar taklif qilgan gʻoyalarni kiritishga qaror qiladi<ref name="IGN Inside 2" />. Ular „[[Grand Theft Auto III]]“ dagi [[Liberty City]]dan farqli oʻlaroq, zamonaviy boʻlmagan joyni satira orqali tasvirlashga harakat qilishadi<ref name="Design Museum" />. Jamoa [[Liberty City]]ning ilhom manbasi boʻlgan [[Nyu-York shahri]] bilan turli oʻxshashliklar va farqlarga ega boʻlgan hoshqa joyni tanlashni xohlaydi va oxir-oqibat [[Mayami]]ni variantiga toʻxtalishadi. Prodyuser [[Leslie Benzies]] shaharni „haqiqiy bayramlar shahri, bu yer quyosh, dengiz va jinsiy aloqaga toʻla, biroq hammasining ostida shaharning qora qirrasi yashirinib yotadi“ deb taʼriflaydi<ref name="Digital Trends" />. [[Sam Houser]] esa shaharga „jinoyatning eng ajoyib davri, negaki bu joyda har qanday jinoyat jinoyatdek tuyulmaydi… Bu butunlay agʻdar-toʻntar davr edi“ deb taʼrif beradi<ref name="Edge 1" />. Jamoa [[Vice City]]ni „tirik, nafas olayotgan shahar“ kabi tasvirlashni, oʻyinchi personaj binoning ichida boʻlganda ham shaharda „hayot davom etayotganini“ his qilishini xohlardi<ref name="GameSpot Interaction" />.

Oʻyinning koʻrinishi, ayniqsa kiyim-kechak va transport vositalari [[1980-yil]]lar muhitini aks ettiradi. Oʻyindagi koʻplab mavzular ''Scarface'' va ''Carlitoʻs Way'' kabi mashhur filmlardan olingan va ikkinchi film oʻzining xarakterizatsiyasi va nozik jinoyatchilarni tasvirlash usuli ishlab chiqaruvchilar jamoasiga katta taʼsir oʻtkazgan<ref name="GameSpot Graphics" />. Oʻyin ishlab chiqilishiga ''Miami Vice'' teleseriali ham katta taʼsir koʻrsatgan va ishlab chiqish davomida jamoa tomonidan muntazam ravishda tomosha qilingan<ref name="Crave" />. Oʻyin bosh rassomi [[Aaron Garbut]] neon chiroqlarni yaratish davaomida bu serialdan maʼlumot manbasi sifatida foydalangan<ref name="Edge 1" />. 1980-yillar muhiti oʻziga xos madaniyatga ega ekanligi va jamoa aʼzolari bu davrni yaxshi bilishi sababli ushbu muhitni qayta yaratish jamoa uchun qiyinchilik tugʻdirmaydi<ref name="Crave" />. Rassomlar jamoasiga katta hajmdagi tadqiqotlar bilan bir qatorda ishlab chiqish jamoasining boshqa aʼzolari tomonidan olingan fotografiyalar taqdim etilgan. Jamoa „[[Grand Theft Auto III]]“ ishlab chiqili yakunlangandan soʻng [[Mayami]]ga tadqiqot safarlari uyushtiradi. Ular kichik guruhlarga boʻlinib, koʻchalarni kuzatatib, maʼlumotlar toʻplashadi<ref name="Crave" /><ref name="IGN Unplugged" />.

=== Hikoya va personajlar ===
[[File:RayLiottaTIFFSept2012.jpg|thumb|upright=0.8|[[Ray Liotta]] bosh qahramon [[Tommy Vercetti]]ga ovoz bergan.<ref name="IGN Voice" />|alt=A 59-year-old man looking at the camera]]

Ishlab chiqarish jamoasi ''Grand Theft Auto III''ning soqov qahramoni Claudedan tubdan farq qiluvchi personaj yaratish ustida bosh qotirgan<ref name="GameSpot III" />. Avvalgi oʻyinlardagidan farqli oʻlaroq ''Grand Theft Auto: Vice City'' bosh qahramoni [[Tommi Vercetti]] gapira olardi. Uni aktyor [[Ray Liotta]] gavdalantirgan. Avvaldan mavjud boʻlmagan personajni yaratish Liottaga qiyinchilik tugʻdirgan va u bu jarayonni murakkab deb atagan. Rolni yozib olish jarayonida jamoa Liottaga personaj qanday harakatlanishini tasavvur qilish imkonini berish uchun [[Chroma key|koʻk ekran]]dan foydalangan<ref name="IGN Voice" />. Jamoa aktyorning Tommyni toʻliq oʻzida his qilishi uchun barcha sharoitni yaratib berishadi va bu oʻz navbatida syujet rivojiga katta yordam beradi<ref name="Design Museum" />. [[Dan Houser]] Tommyni „kuchli va bir vaqtning oʻzida xavfli, imkoniyat va kerakli vaqt kelishini kutishga tayyor“ deb taʼriflaydi<ref name="IGN Unplugged" />. Rejissyor [[Navid Khonsari]] Liotta bilan ishlash baʼzida qiyin boʻlganini taʼkidlaydi. „Baʼzi sessiyalarda u… ishga berilib ketardi, lekin baʼzida… juda tushkun boʻlib, ishlay olmasdi“ deb aytadi [[Sam Houser]]<ref name="GamesRadar Sam" />.

Oʻyindagi animatsiyalarning aksariyati original boʻlib, faqat bir nechtasi „[[Grand Theft Auto III]]“dan olingan. Personajlar uchun jamoa [[Harakat qaydi]] va [[Stop-moushn]] animatsiya texnikalaridan foydalanilgan. Keskin sahnalar uchun birinchisi, oʻyin harakatlarida esa har ikkala texnikaning kombinatsiyasi ishlatilgan. Modellarning xilma-xilligi sababli jamoa [[motosikl]] animatsiyalarini yaratishda qiyinchiliklarga duch kelgan. Piyoda personaj modellari „Vice City“da skinlardan foydalanadi<ref name="GameSpot Animation" />. Bu esa rassomlarga yanada realistik personajlar yaratish imkonini bergan. Oʻyin dunyosida 110 ta noyob piyoda modeli va taxminan 50 ta syujet personaji mavjud. Har bir personaj „[[Grand Theft Auto III]]“dagi personajlarga nisbatan ikki barobar koʻp [[poligon]] va [[tekstura]]lar yordamida koʻrsatiladi<ref name="GameSpot Graphics" /><ref name="IGN Unplugged" />. Bu ishlar personaj fizikasiga ham ijobiy taʼsir qilgan. Shu jumladan oʻyindagi personajning quroldan otish aniqligi kabi oʻyin jihatlari avvalgi oʻyinlarga nisbatan yaxshilangan<ref name="GameSpot Physics" />. Oʻyindagi baʼzi personaj modellari va sssenariylar „[[Cho'qintirgan ota]]“ ([[inglizcha]]: ''The Godfather'') kabi oʻsha davrga oid filmlardan, oʻyinning taqdimoti esa 1980-yillarning jangari televizion shoularidan ilhomlanilgan<ref name="IGN Inside 1" />. [[Tommy Vercetti]] va [[Lance Vance]] oʻrtasidagi oʻzaro munosabat [[Miami Vice]] serialidagi [[Sonny Crockett]] va [[Ricardo Tubbs]] oʻrtasidagi munosabatlarga oʻxshash qilib yaratilgan<ref name="Edge 4" />.

=== Ovoz dizayni va musiqa ===
''"Grand Theft Auto: Vice City"'' oʻyini 8000 qator dialogga ega boʻlib, bu „[[Grand Theft Auto III]]“ oʻyinidagidan toʻrt barobar koʻproqdir<ref name="IGN Unplugged" />. Oʻyin 90 daqiqadan ortiq oʻyin ichidagi sahnalar va toʻqqiz soatlik musiqani oʻz ichiga oladi<ref name="IGN Unplugged" />. Unda 113 dan ortiq qoʻshiq va reklama lavhalari mavjud<ref name="IGN Inside 4" />. Ishlab chiquvchilar jamoasi oʻyin [[soundtreki]]ni yaratishda „[[Grand Theft Auto III]]“ musiqasi bilan taqqoslaganda, yangi yondashuv qoʻllashga intiladilar. Sam Hauser „Grand Theft Auto III“ musiqasini „satirik va oʻziga xos“ deb taʼriflagan edi<ref name="Edge 2" />. Radio stansiyalarini ishlab chiqishda, jamoa oʻyinning 1980-yillar muhitini yanada koʻproq yoritish uchun turli xil qoʻshiqlarni toʻplashga qaror qiladi va buning uchun ular keng qamrovli tadqiqot oʻtkazdilar<ref name="IBTimes Soundtrack" />. Oʻyindagi [[radiostansiyalar]] [[Epic Records]] tomonidan yetti albomda nashr etildi. Bu albomlar ''"Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Official Soundtrack Box Set"'' nomi ostida birlashtirildi va 2002-yil oktyabrida oʻyin bilan bir vaqtda chiqarilgan<ref name="GameSpot Soundtrack 1" /><ref name="GameSpot Soundtrack 2" />. „Vice City“ oʻyinida „Grand Theft Auto III“ ga nisbatan uch barobar koʻproq radiosuhbat stansiyalari mavjud. Ishlab chiqaruvchi va tok-shou boshlovchisi [[Lazlow Jones]] taʼkidlaganidek, radioga qoʻngʻiroq qiluvchi tinglovchilarning kichik foizi „aqldan ozgan“ boʻlib, „Vice City“da jamoa bu jihatni yanada kuchaytirdi va boʻrttirib koʻrsatiladi. [[Dan Houser]] fikriga koʻra, radiosuhbat stansiyalari oʻyin dunyosidagi tabiiylikni taʼminlaydi<ref name="GameSpot Radio" />. Oʻyin ovoz dizayni va musiqa ishlab chiqarish sohasida oʻsha davr uchun innovatsion yondashuv namoyish etgan. Keng qamrovli musiqiy tanlovi, yozilgan dialoglar va radio stansiyalari orqali „Vice City“ oʻyinchilarga 1980-yillar [[Mayami]] shahrining atmosferasini toʻliq his qilish imkonini bergan.

Oldingi oʻyinlari kabi, ''"Grand Theft Auto: Vice City"'' ham bir qancha nizolarni keltirib chiqargan.

[[SFGate]] jurnali tanqidchisi Peter Hartlaub oʻyinning haddan ziyod zoʻravonligiga urgʻu bergan, ammo buni ishlab chiquvchilarni reallikni taʼminlashga urinishlari bilan bogʻlagan<ref name="SFGate" />. „Vice City“ va boshqa Rockstar oʻyinlarida ishlab chiqishda qatnashgan Jeremi Pope ommaviy axborot vositalarida zoʻravon oʻyinlar yoritilishi ortidan endi zoʻravon oʻyinlar ustida ishlamaslikka vaʼda beradi<ref name="Gamesindustry Pope" />.

Buning oqibatida [[Rockstar Games]], [[Take-Two Interactive]], [[Sony Computer Entertainment]], [[GameStop]] va [Wal-Mart]] kompaniyalariga qarshi 600 million dollarlik daʼvo qoʻzgʻatiladi. Daʼvoda Moore tez-tez ''"Grand Theft Auto: Vice City"'' oʻynaganini va oʻyin oʻynash jarayoni uni jinoyat sodir etishga undaganini taʼkidlangan. Daʼvogarlarning advokati [[Jack Thompson]] oʻyinning grafik tabiati Mooreni qotillikka undaganini taʼkidlagan<ref name="GameSpot Moore1" />.

Daʼvoda 14 yoshli Cody Posey [[Nyu-Meksiko]] shtatining Xondo shahrida otasi, oʻgay onasi va oʻgay singlisini oʻldirishdan oldin oʻyinni haddan tashqari koʻp oʻynaganini taʼkidlaydi<ref name="GameSpot Posey" />. Poseyning himoya jamoasi uning otasi tomonidan zoʻravonlikka uchragani va qotillik paytida [[Zoloft]] dori vositasini qabul qilganini taʼkidlaydi<ref name="GamePolitics Posey" /><ref name="CourtTV Posey" />. Daʼvoda agar Posey ''"Grand Theft Auto: Vice City"''ni haddan tashqari koʻp oʻynamaganida qotilliklar sodir etilmagan boʻlardi deyilgan<ref name="ABQJournal Posey" />. [[Nyu-Meksiko]]da Sony yoki Take-Two ustidan yurisdiksiya yoʻqligi sababli [[2007-yil]] [[dekabr]]da bu ish yopiladi<ref name="GamePolitics Posey2" />.

[[2017-yil]] [[iyul]]da Psychic Readers Network (PRN) Auntie Poulet nomli personaj tufayli Rockstarga qarshi daʼvo qoʻzgʻatgan. Ular personaj va unga ovoz bergan [[Youree Harris]] oʻrtasida oʻxshashliklar borligini davo qilishgan<ref name="Eurogamer Poulet" />. Odin Law and Medianing advokati Brandon J. Huffman PRN daʼvosining oʻz vaqtida qoʻzgʻatilmagani tufayli muammolarga duch kelishini taʼkidladi. Chunki Oʻn birinchi okrugning mualliflik huquqini buzganlik uchun daʼvo muddati uch yilni tashkil etadi. Ushbu daʼvo esa oʻyin chiqarilganidan deyarli 15 yil oʻtgach qoʻzgʻatilgan. Huffman Take-Two parodiya ekanini daʼvo qilishi yoki suddan tashqari kelishuv tuzishi mumkinligini, ammo dastlab bunday qilmasligi ehtimolini qoʻshimcha qiladi<ref name="Mashable Poulet" />.

== Meros ==
[[USA Today]] nashri muhbiri Mike Snider ''"Grand Theft Auto: Vice City"'' „video oʻyinlar uchun yangi standartlarni oʻrnatdi“ deb yozgan<ref name="USA Today" />. U bunga sabab sifatida oʻyinning interaktivligi, jangari ekanligi va saundtrekini koʻrsatadi.
[[Kotaku]] nashridan Lyuk Plankett va [[PC Magazine]] nashridan Jeffrey L. Willson esa „Vice City“ni seriyaning eng yaxshi oʻyini deb nomlashadi. Plankett uni „mukammal Grand Theft Auto oʻyin hissiyoti“ deb ataydi<ref name="Kotaku Best" /><ref name="PCMag Best" />. [[Official UK PlayStation Magazine]] oʻquvchilari „Vice City“ ni hozirga qadar chiqarilgan eng yaxshi [[PlayStation]] oʻyinlari orasida toʻrtinchi oʻringa qoʻyishdi<ref name="OPM Best" />. [[2006-yil]]da „Vice City“ yapon jurnali [[Famitsu]] oʻquvchilarining eng yaxshi 100 ta oʻyin roʻyxatiga kiritilgan<ref name="Famitsu 100" />. U roʻyxatdagi kamdan-kam gʻarbiy oʻyinlardan biri edi. Loyiha badiiy direktori Aaron Garbut „Vice City“ oʻzidan oldingi „Grand Theft Auto III“ va keyingi „San Andreas“ oʻyinlari bilan birgalikda ochiq dunyo oʻyinlarining yangilangan tendensiyasiga boshchilik qilganini taʼkidlaydi<ref name="Crave" />. [[Vice City]] shahrining yangi talqini [[2025-yil]]da chiqishi kutilayotgan „[[Grand Theft Auto VI]]“ da qaytishi rejalashtirilgan<ref name="Verge GTA VI"/>.

„Vice City“ va „The Trilogy“ ning „The Definitive Edition“ deb nomlangan qayta ishlangan versiyasi [[2021-yil]] [[11-noyabr]]da [[Nintendo Switch]], [[PlayStation 4]], [[PlayStation 5]], [[Windows]], [[Xbox One]] va [[Xbox Series X/S]] uchun, [[2023-yil]] [[14-dekabr]]da esa [[Android]] va [[iOS]] uchun chiqariladi<ref name="Definitive Edition"/><ref name="Definitive Edition 3"/>. „The Definitive Edition“ sotuvlariga tayyorgarlik koʻrish uchun oʻyinning mavjud versiyalari raqamli chakana sotuvdan olib tashlanadi, ammo keyinchalik [[Rockstar]] doʻkonida toʻplam sifatida qayta tiklanadi<ref name="Definitive Edition"/><ref name="Definitive Edition 2"/>.

[[2020-yil]] [[dekabr]]da olti kishidan iborat asosiy jamoa oʻyinni teskari muhandislik ([[inglizcha]]: ''reverse engineering'') qilib, uni sifatida chiqaradi. „reVC“ deb nomlangan bu loyiha oʻyinni [[Nintendo Switch]], [[PlayStation Vita]] va [[Wii U]] kabi platformalarda norasmiy oʻynash imkonini berardi<ref name="reVC Eurogamer" /><ref name="reVC GameSpot" />. [[Take-Two]] [[2021-yil]] fevralda loyihaga mualliflik huqiqiga asosan toʻxtatish buyrugʻini chiqardi<ref name="reVC Eurogamer DMCA" />. Aprelda Teo ismli [[Yangi Zelandiya]]lik dasturchi [[GitHub]]da qarshi bildirishnoma yuboradi va kodning Take-Twoga tegishli hech qanday original ishni oʻz ichiga olmasligini taʼkidlaydi. DMCA nizolar boʻyicha qoidalariga koʻra, Teoning kontenti ikki haftadan soʻng qayta tiklanadi<ref name="reVC Kotaku" />. [[2021-yil]] [[10-iyun]]da „reVC“ ortidagi jamoa qarshi bildirishnoma yubordi va DMCA qoidalariga koʻra, manba kodi ikki haftadan soʻng qayta tiklandi<ref name="reVC Eurogamer DMCA 2" />.
