Grand Theft Auto: Vice City PS2 Cheats Guide

Get a flying car, cause pedestrian riots, and more

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is the sixth title in the popular GTA series. It came out in 2002 on the PlayStation 2. Windows PC and Xbox ports followed a year later. Set within a fictional version of Miami called Vice City, it tells the story of ex-con Tommy Vercetti, who seeks revenge after getting caught in an ambushed drug deal. Taking over the criminal underworld isn't easy, though, so here are some cheats that can help.

This guide is specifically for the PS2 version of GTA: Vice City. Guides are also available for GTA: Vice City on PC, GTA: Vice City on PSP, and GTA: Vice City on Xbox.
