The characters in this game dress like it's the 80s, and the classic 80s songs immediately stand out, giving Vice City that unique nostalgic feel. Liberty City is often known for its gritty and gloomy atmosphere (particularly because of the starting locations in the GTA titles with Liberty City), which is the complete opposite of Vice City's presentation.īy comparison, Vice City is a colorful coastal location with a general vibrance and an 80s aesthetic. It's a minor difference, but it adds a lot to the overall feel between the two locations. All of the mainline Liberty City-based GTA games have had this feature, and it's something the player could actually use to travel across the map.įunnily enough, the 2D version of Vice City did have trains, but that's the only time the location had such a feature. Naturally, as Liberty City is based off of New York, it's only fair that it has a subway and a metro train system.

Unsurprisingly, a location like Vice City plays out very differently compared to a location like Liberty City. Inevitably, the differences between possible locations in a GTA game play a large role in that. It might not be something GTA fans immediately think about when they play these games, but it's something that should always be on the back of their minds. The location of a GTA game often sets the tone for what will happen in that game.
