Rating Summary
This is an action-adventure game in which players assume the role of an ex-convict (Tommy Vercetti) sent to establish a drug trade in the fictional Vice City. From a third-person perspective, players explore open-world environments while engaging in criminal activities (e.g., assassinations, drug dealing/trafficking, hijacking vehicles) for underworld figures. Players use machine guns, rifles, shotguns, and melee weapons (e.g., swords, bats, chainsaws) to kill various rivals and gang members. Battles are sometimes frenetic, accompanied by realistic gunfire, large explosions, and cries of pain. Blood-splatter effects occur during combat and can pool underneath bodies. Several weapon attacks result in decapitation and blood splatter; one cutscene depicts a character's arm blown off by explosives. Players have the ability to shoot or run over civilians, though such action results in police pursuit, as players' wanted level increases. The game contains some sexual material: a strip club depicting private lap dances; picking up prostitutes and driving them to secluded locations for sexual activity (e.g., players' vehicle is depicted rocking from side to side); a pornographic actress moaning and gyrating in the foreground—it is implied that she is filming a sex scene, though only her shoulders and head are visible. The game also includes missions in which players must procure and/or sell drugs; one sequence depicts a man snorting a line on a table. The words “sh*t,” “a*shole,” and “p*ssy” appear in the dialogue, and accompanying songs contain additional language (e.g., “That man could give a f**k”; “And all my n*ggas told me that I was on one").
