Vice City takes place before the events of GTA 3, and shifts from the prior gritty urban environment to a bright and colorful coastal city inspired by Miami. The city itself is one of the major characters of the game, and is fully realized with a living, breathing personality of its own, one that cannot be ignored. The plot of GTA 6 is more nuanced than its predecessor, but remains simple at its core: Get revenge, get money, and embrace infamy. These are supporting characters such as Diaz, Ken Paul, or the corrupt lawyer Ken Rosenberg. Vice City toes the line between gratuitous violence and humor, the latter of which mostly comes from the memorable cast whose personalities amusingly pinball off of Vercetti.
