GAME INFO

The GTA 3 Vice City Beautification Project is a small enhancement guide with step-by-step instructions for modding the 6th Grand Theft Auto game. It will fix a lot of issues with regards to newer computer systems, and significantly improve both graphics & effects. Grand Theft Auto 3: Vice city is not designed to be modified, but it's still possible with the use of some editing tools. The game was released in 2003, and the graphics and mechanics are very far from current day GTA games. With this modification guide, Vice City will get first person view, better textures, improved vegetation, better lighting and a new custom shader.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is the 6th game in the popular game from RockStar Games. The game was developed and originally released in 2002 & 2003, with a re-release for android in 2012. It uses the same engine as GTA III, but is played in Vice City, a fictional place based upon the real world Miami. Vice City has a distinct 80's theme to it, which matches the game and graphics extremely well. The story follows Tommy Vercetti after he is released from Prison. He is part of a traditional Italian mafia, but seeks personal expanding and control during the game. Beginning from scratch, he builds his empire and gains territory and reputation. Just like the previous game, GTA III, the game is an open-world action-adventure. The player can roam freely at any time, even though the main story-line is linear. There are plenty of side-quests and other things to do, that make the game seems 100% open. The two main influences of the game are Miami Vice & Scarface, but most places and people are based on the real world. The 1980s drug epidemic, The biker gangs, the Cuban & Haitian's, the glam rock and of course the classic Italian Mafioso's.
Upon release, the Vice City received extremely good critics and praise from both the industry and fans. The music, game-play and open world design was simply some of the best seen at the time. GTA 3: Vice City became the best-selling game of 2002, with over 17 million copies sold, and is considered one of the most significant titles of the early 2000s. It won several "Game of the Year" awards from gaming publications, sites and magazines.
