Vice City Stories rewards players who leave the main road. Its compact map is packed with details that are easy to miss when you are busy chasing missions.
Rooftops with a view
Several downtown buildings can be reached with a helicopter, offering some of the best views of the neon skyline at sunset. They also make excellent hiding spots when your wanted level spikes.
Familiar places, different era
Because the game is set in 1984, fans of the original Vice City will notice locations under construction or used for different purposes. Spotting these changes is one of the game’s quiet pleasures.
Collectibles worth hunting
Red balloons are scattered around the map and reward completionists with useful bonuses. Exploring for them is a great excuse to see every corner of the city.
Grab a bike, turn on the radio and explore — Vice City still has secrets to share.
