The King of them all...

-Sighs- G.T.A.

What can be said/written about a series that has produced more discussion than any game ever? Grand Theft Auto, for those of you who do not know, is game/series where pretty much anything goes. Your job is to steal, kill, and sometimes rape people to become the "top dog" in town. Every game in the series is like that except that each one takes place in different cities. The one that I will be focusing on is GTA Vice City, which takes place in Miami (shout out for the MIA!!! :D)

The game is set in beautiful Vice City in 1986. You take control of Tommy Vercetti, a Mafia hitman who just recently got released from prison. He comes to Vice City to buy cocaine for his former boss, Sonny. Like all cocaine deals, it goes wrong and people die. Tommy manages to escape and slowly, but surely, he starts to get more power and money as he gets hired to other people's dirty work. The game pretty much is identical to Scarface; even down to the end where Tommy must defend his mansion from being over run by thugs.

This game is very racially and ethnically controversial. Just like Miami, Vice City is divided into different sections of town with their own stereotypes. In the game, you can go to either Little Havana or Little Haiti. The both live up to the stereotypes of both the Cubans and the Haitians. You can go up to either group and attack them and they will yell at you in their naive language with their heavy accents. This drove both groups mad because they did not like the way that they were being portrayed in the game. This is understandable because the creators of the game, Rockstar, spared no mercy when it came to depicted both groups. There are even anti-Haitian and anti-Cuban phrases/slurs in the game. This game really holds no punches when it comes to continuing the trend of stereotypes in video games.
