GRAND THEFT AUTO III, still manages to dominate the best-seller list, developer Rockstar Games has already followed up on the title with GRAND THEFT AUTO: VICE CITY. The new title follows a different storyline set in a city modeled after 1980s-era Miami. It begins much like GRAND THEFT AUTO III did, with the main character just getting out of jail. This time gamers play Tommy Vercetti, a former hitman for the Forelli family.

"The Forelli hierarchy is nervous about him being on the street," explains Dan Houser, Rockstar's vice president of creative content. "They thought he would never be released and are unsure what to do with him. The incident for which Vercetti got put in prison was extremely gruesome and there was talk that maybe Tommy had been set up by the Forellis. Tommy has never voiced any dissatisfaction with the Forellis, or questioned their integrity, but Sonny Forelli, head of the family and a childhood friend of Vercetti's, doesn't want him in Liberty City, so he arranges for Vercetti to go down to Vice City on business."
