Yes. the very first game i ever played was Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
When i first played the game, i became so in love with it.
i actually played the game even in my dreams and i am not just exaggerating things up.
what i loved about GTA:VC is the track list of every radio station. and man, the characters have very strong personality. from DIAZ to LANCE VANCE.
i love how you steal the cars, drive those boats and helicopters around and kill all the cops your rebel heart desires.
But, of course, what made me so addicted to the game is that each game is so challenging and the plot of the story is very fierce and very exciting.
Now, i welcome you to the broader vision in the world of MAFIA in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
If you have played GTA: SAN ANDREAS, then some characters are familiar to you - Mr. Paulie Sindacco and Salvatore Leone. They are one of the respected man in the Mafia world. However, in this game, the character you are playing can not go underwater just like in GTA:VC.
the places you'll be travellin' is new and very realistic. They have this place called CHINATOWN.
This game is available in PSP and PS2. I played this game in PSP.
The third GTA franchise that I played was GTA: Vice City Stories where I played as Victor Vance, an exiled military after being framed by his head.
GAWD! How i missed Vice City. Playing this game was a little easier after knowing where to and what streets, blocks, and highways to use to get to each destination faster. In short, I know the place. Im not a tourist anymore. I love how new bikes are installed and how unfamiliar the objectives of the mission each character gives. The controls were a little harder because I was playing it on the PSP. This was the only game that made me cry. IDK, but my heart was broken when Louise died. HAHA!
The last game that made me an addict was GTA: San Andreas where I play as Carl Johnson who just went back to his hood in Los Santos after the death of his mother and brother.
What i totally love about this game is how you can reanimate your character. You can dress him up, give him some tattoos, fatten him, improve his sex appeal, buff him up and a lot more. I love how the game showed transition of CJ's character from a homie who protects his hood to a money making machine who ends up as a partner in a Casino, a pilot,an assassin,a playboy and more. Also, familiar faces appear in the game like Kent Paul, Ken Rosenburg, Paulie Sindacco, Salvatore Leone and maybe a lot more which I do not have knowledge in.
Now, I want to introduce my characters in each game from my least favorite to my number one. Let's start with my number four.
4. Toni Cipriani
Toni Cipriani is a Mafia who just went back to Liberty City after staying in San Andreas for quite some time. He finds out that during his absence, his rank as respectable man in the mafia world went down the drain. His old position was taken by Vincenzo Cilli and thus he needs to regain his reputation in the Mafia.
What i don't like with Toni Cipriani is that he's not that good looking or charismatic compared to CJ or Tommy Vercetti. However, what i adorably love about him is his tough guy actions and his way of talking. He talks with power and acts like a real Mafia who's ready to destroy anything or anyone who stands in his way. I really love how he kills those government officials and those pricks as he always mentions in the game.
3. Victor Vance
Victor Vance was the brother of Lance Vance. If you can still remember in GTA: Vice City opening scene, he was killed by Diaz's men but in GTA: Vice City Stories we will see his life and how he entered the world of criminals. Victor Vance entered in the US Army to earn money for his brother's(Pete Vance) medications who is suffering from asthma. He then is sent by Sergeant Martinez to do some errands for him. Sergeant Martinez was the one to be blamed why Victor was discharged in the army. After meeting several people, Victor tried to control the situation by regaining his reputation through drug dealing and wiping the Sharks and the Cholos. Through some people, he finally avenged himself by killing Sergeant Martinez and some people involved.
I love Vic because he was very composed and his character shows a good side of him. I love how he wasn't comfortable with drug dealing but he has to embrace the dark side to avenge himself and to gain control. I love him because he was the first character that I played who is black. The second character was in the game Left for Dead.
However, I don't like his seriousness. He lacks any sense of humor unlike CJ.
2. Carl Johnson
Carl Johnson was part of the Grove Street Families along with his brother Brian Johnson. Carl's other siblings were Sean a.k.a Sweet and Kendl. Carl left San Andreas and went to Liberty when he was accused that he let his brother,Brian, die. After staying many years in Liberty, he received a call from his older brother Sweet, that their mother died. After returning to Los Santos, he found out that the place was not the place he used to live in. The Ballas,a rival gang, is taking control of the streets. Another problem is that, Tenpenny, a corrupt police officer, is always on CJ's tail. After several fights and theft, CJ committed, he found out that his trusted childhood friend, BIG SMOKE, was the one responsible in the death of his mother.
CJ, for me was one of the funniest character I've ever palyed. I dont know but he makes me laugh. I love how this homie protects his hood and supports all his family even some of them are snakes. I love how CJ is a big cassanova. I love how how he transforms from a kid to a man - a multi-millionaire man. However, what i don't like about him is that he choose ugly lookin' girls except for that big mouthed Catalina(for me, She's hot but a nuisance). I don't like how he's so buffed up. I dislike him because he shows fear. He showed fear when he was on a flying mission with Mike Toreno.
1. Tommy Vercetti
AND SO! My first love - Tommy Vercetti. Tommy Vercetti, was born and raised in Liberty City. He joined the Mafia family of the Forelli's. Sonny Forelli tried to kill Tommy because of his growing power. Sonny's plans were unsuccessful because not only did Tommy survived his schemes but he killed all the people who ambushed him. After being released in prison, Sonny sent Tommy in Vice City for fear that he is in for the drugs and is gaining power. Tommy went to Vice City and accepted a drug deal which was actually an ambush. He then promised Sonny that he will get the money and the drugs back. Tommy met a lot of people and then he met Lance who became his business partner. Although, Tommy had to kill Lance for siding with Sonny Forelli who also ends up as a corpse. Tommy Vercetti became the most powerful man in Vice City.
GOSH. how i am so in love with this character because not only is he rich and powerful, he is also good looking and smart. He is very focus on his goal. For me, Tommy was an icon, an influential man. What also caught my interest is how he was not into using the drugs but how the drugs work for him to earn money. Tommy is also good in shooting and i can say has his own tactics to survive in a shoot out after so many attempts of his enemies to kill him.
But then again, what i dislike about his character is that he is very ruthless unlike Victor Vance and also he doesn't stop over to play some games or to have some dates unlike CJ. However, he is still my number ONE.
Here are some of the other characters I love in the Grand Theft Auto game:
Reni Wassulmaier is one of the characters in GTA: VC stories. He or she is a transgender. She was biologically a woman who became a man and a woman and God knows what became of her.
FUN FACT: the gameplay of GTA has a timeline.
GTA: VC Stories happened on the era of 1984
GTA: VC happened on 1986.
GTA: San Andreas was on the 1992 and
GTA: Liberty City Stories took place in 1996.
Althoug, I havent played all the GTA franchise, still I am proud and satisfied to play and finish some of the most controversial and phenomenal Grand Theft Auto games in history.
I just can wait for GTA V to come out in 2013 because they say that you can play Toni, Tommy and CJ in the game. So please 2013, come to momma quick. GTA-V would be played on Xbox360, PS3 and PC.

Here are some of the other characters I love in the Grand Theft Auto game:
Louise Cassidy Williams is the sister of Phil Cassidy and I think the love interest of Victor.
In all the GTA games, i think, she's the most beautiful.
Catalina Vagus is one of the causes of noise pollution in San Andreas. She is one of
Carl Johnson's girlfriends who ends up being an ex-girlfriend who runs with Claude who stars in GTA 3.
Og loc is CJ's friend who has a dream to be the best rapper in
San Andreas. Before he stole Mad Dogg's songs, you should hear him rap.
Reni Wassulmaier is one of the characters in GTA: VC stories. He or she is a transgender. She was biologically a woman who became a man and a woman and God knows what became of her.
