If you know me well enough, then you know how much I really.. really love GTA: Vice City. I have downloaded and modified skins… cars… buildings.. police officers… bridges.. signs… the moon… the spot light.. and even recreated the game with all new missions where you can purchase the police station.

Then I had heard about playing Vice City online. I had to check it out… unfortunately I had to completely reinstall Vice City since I was not allowed to have the hacks in the game. It was well worth the trouble…

The differences of playing it online and like “you’re supposed to” is there are not any pedestrians to smear.. no police… no cheats… or normal missions. You have to find weapons crates if you want a gun… and you have the whole town to drive around and do some online missions.. kill fellow vice citizens, but they are not the computer generated ones… they are other people from around the world. Some are pretty cool others are assholes and you just have to put a bullet in them… *smirks*

You also have an irc like window to allow you to chat with other players. The game has been set up like it was actually designed to be multiplayer.. You can gain levels which will allow you to do various things with your characters like keep your weapons when you save a game, etc.

Here is a screenshot …

Needless to say I spent near the entire day off today playing this game. The game ran great on the notebook, but it definitely looked it’s best on the desktop… and the monitor I picked up a couple of weeks ago.. *smirks*

I also realized this is the first time I have played an online game of any sort on the PC in probably nine years!!
