Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

GRAND THEFT AUTO: VICE CITY

This is an action game. I do not recommended this for very young players because it is full of violence, blood, and explosions. Matured players can play and enjoy this kind of game especially if they prefer to play action-packed games. In this game, there are driving, shooting, running and maneuvering, and strategizing. There are many missions, sometimes hard sometimes easy. If you are driving, you can listen to music and select your radio stations. There are various genre of music. There are rock, RnB, oldies, etc.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is the prequel of GTA III. The setting of the game is in Vice City, which looks like Miami, Florida. Midnight in 80's is the time setting based on the clothings and surroundings, cars, and music.

Stealing vehicles, robberies, partake in drive-by shootings, and generally creating chaos can be done by the player. However, doing these crimes attracts policemen or in extreme cases, you can also attract the FBI or even the National Guard. In the game of the Grand Theft Auto: Vice city, the police behavior is same to the Grand Theft Auto III but now the police will hit you with the night sticks, when you are driving they will deploy spike strips to flat your tire. SWAT teams from choppers will climb down the rope ladder and shoot you. There will also be undercover agent chasing you and even tanks.

If you're an avid player of GTA you'll notice that this time you can purchase number of properties in the city. Some are used as additional hideouts (essentially locations where weapons can be collected and the game saved). There are also a variety of businesses called "assets" which the player can buy. These business assets are a dance club, a film studio, a strip club, a taxi company, an "ice-cream delivery business", a boatyard, a printing works, and a car showroom. Attached to each commercial property are missions, such as eliminating the competition or stealing equipment. After completing the all missions, the property will begin to generate an ongoing income, which the increasingly-prosperous Vercetti may periodically collect.

Miss Management

The Miss Management game is about office works where there are characters that have different likes and dislikes. The setting of the game is in the office room. The central character (that would be you, the player) is the manager in the office. The characters (the other employees in the game). There are colorcoded tasks that look like books. There are color indicators below the employees table. If the color indicator below the table is an up arrow it means that employee is good and efficient for that task, so as office manager you bring him the task that has the same color wiht the up arrow. If the color indicator below the employee's table is a down arrow, avoid giving him/her a similarly colored task because it will take long for that employee to finish and will easily stress that employee. You have to decide quick to whom to give the colorcoded task. In case the employee get stressed, make that employee do something that he likes to relieve tension (indicated by a red thermometer above the employee's head, the higher the stress level is the higher the thermometer level is). The manager (you, the player) arranges and distributes the tasks to the employees. The goal is to finish the tasks on time which will unlock the next episode. It is challenging because ones you make it to the next level, the tasks increases and there will be more new employees. In level one, you will begin with only one employee. Finishing level one is very easy. In level two, there will be two employees, piece of cake. So far, I reached season three and it is quite challenging. It is challenging because all of the employees are very busy. They become stressed easily. Playing game needs primarily the mouse and quick eyes and speedy decision to which employee to go first.

This game is displayed in a colorful window. There is a jazzy type of background music. Definitely there is no violence involved, no explotions, no shooting, no blood, and it is peaceful game. It can be played even by young children without a parent worrying about any ill effects to them.
