Vice City is An 18
it means that kids can't play and enjoy the game and can't have anything recent to set their standards by for what to expect from a game
i'm 14 and lucky that i could get my greasy little mits on this fantastic game, i love it
and it makes me angry when people say that Vice City is a bad influence,
one of the main concerns of parents about Vice City is the sexual and drug related theming, this is unfounded by people who have not actually played the game and therefore don't know what they are talking about
1)prostitutes, for those of you who don't know you can pick up prostitutes in Vice City, OK OK it's morally incorrect but in terms of content you are likely to see more action on that episode of Sesame Street you taped accidentally last week(elmo knows how to push my buttons!)
2)Drugs, and quite frankly who cares? many programs or movies rated 12 or over have some sort of reference to drug use.
so why make the best game of the PC an 18?
It means that anyone under 18 will find it difficult or impossible to play this game properly and will have to wait another 6 years or so to experience it by which time it will probably not be worth buying since it will be so dated and there will be better stuff out there.
A Damn Shame!
And if you've got the game, then what's the point in moaning your face off? You should be happy that you've got it when really you shouldn't be allowed. If some 12-year-old isn't permitted to have the game, then that's absolutely fine; they're not meant to anyway.
Anyway, however, contradicting my last point, I have to again raise the issue that if you want Vice City, then you most probably own it already.
Also. Best PC game ever? Heh.
Excellent game. The only disadvantage was that if you walked into a swimming pool, you inconveniently died. But it is an old game...

I remember when I first played GTA London, heh that was a laugh. I just drove in to a stadium killing every single player in one faul swoop, then I drove into Big Ben... :^D
*Points*
Loser.
Vice City is a fully justified 18-rating.
And you forgot the limb-hacking, ped squishing and chainsaw gutting.

What do you mean 'lucky'? Just about all kids own VC!
