It's been about 10 years (or more) since the last time I played it. Maybe it's the improved graphics, but driving through the city for the first time in so long reminded me of the first time I got the game running back in 2005 or 2006, excited and inviting over a friend who introduced me to GTA Vice City, and the first girl I had my first romantic feelings for.

I think the graphical style is a big improvement over the original while still keeping its artistic identity and adding some variety/improvements to things like NPCs and lighting. However, some aspects feel neglected because it's basically just a graphical upscale on a different engine, and there are certain issues, like annoying stuttering, despite having a high FPS.

It's not worth it at full price—only if it's on sale for 50% off or more
