==Story==

Vice City Stories marks the series' return to [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]], with the game taking place in 1984, roughly two years before the events of [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]. The game focuses around [[Victor Vance]], the brother of [[Lance Vance]] who [[Keep Your Friends Close...|betrays]] [[Tommy Vercetti]] in GTA VC. Victor briefly appears in GTA Vice City in the opening cutscene, in which he is killed during a drug deal gone wrong.

Like all other releases from the Grand Theft Auto series, Vice City Stories' soundtrack plays an integral role in setting the game's atmosphere. It features 9 different radio stations that play over 100 licensed songs from the 1980s. Most of the station remain the same as in the settings of ''Vice City'' (1986). But the radio stations Fever 105 and Wildstyle are replaced with Fresh 105 and Paradise FM. Also the talk show, K-CHAT doesn't exist in 1984.

==Weapons==

The weapons in ''Vice City Stories'' are set to fit the time the game is set on. For instance, the [[Tec-9]] is replaced with a [[Scorpion]] and the rocket launcher has the look of an M72 LAW. The [[AR-15|M4]] is switched to the look of a [[M16]] as there were no M4's during 1984. The main pistol in the game was changed to the Beretta 92. Most of the other weapons are the same as the one's from ''Vice City'', ''San Andreas'' and ''Liberty City Stories''. It is unusual that GTA Vice City Stories has the [[AK-47]] whereas GTA Vice City has the [[Ruger]]. Note that the AK-47 was designed and manufactured in 1946. The machine gun in the game was a [[M249]], whereas in Vice City the [[M-60]] was used.
