Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, in my opinion is one of the most disgraceful videogames of all time. Can anyone say stereotypical!? What’s wrong with the picture, when every female is a prostitute, the people in Little Haiti are thugs and drug dealers, the Spanish people in Little Havana are drug dealers with tacky flowery shirts and heavy accents that kill people over drugs, and the white males were all cops, common now seriously. It’s a horrific game and the only thing positive I have to say about it is that the prostitutes would fight back when others would try to steal their money. Oh and I can’t forget the fact that when a player would kill a prostitute they get extra points, for real people, females are human beings not animals. How can someone possibly get rewarded for killing, and not only are they killing, but they’re killing women, which the biggest stereotype for women is not being able to defend themselves fully against men. It’s repulsing.

Going to another aspect of the game, and forgetting how stereotypical it is for one second. Vice City is boring! All you do in the game is run around Miami, kill people, and buy and sell drugs. It’s kind of grotesque if you think about it. The game praises all the negatives of a metropolitan city, such as Miami; at the end of the day, such violence exists in most if not all urban cities. However, a game should not take a stand with the negativities and stereotypes of ethnic cultures.
