Trivia:

The game emulates the movie Scarface (1983): a low life thug leaves a place he doesn't want to be (Prison/Cuba) and moves to Miami (or in VC's case, Vice City), gets caught up in a riot, wears flowery shirts, and begins to take over the city, with a chaotic ending battle. The apartment where Tony's friend was killed is featured, along with the area known as Little Havana that was featured at the beginning of the film, and two nightclubs (The Malibu, Pole Position Club) are clones of two nightclubs in the film (The Babylon, and the Little Havana Club).

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: In the missions "Four Iron", "Demolition Man" and "Two Bit Hit", Avery Carrington's stretch-limousine accelerates and slows down - but there is no driver on the driver's seat. In addition, Avery himself isn't inside.

Quotes:

[to Steve Scott]
Tommy Vercetti: What did I tell you before? NO GIANT SHARKS.

Spoofed in Da Kath & Kim Code (2005) (TV)

Took a long time...

This game took a long time to grow on me. I really hated it when it first come out. Then I got it and played it a bit and thought the realism of the game was absolutely amazing. Then I started to play the missions and got wrapped in the story and now I'm hooked. The Main character is different compared to the usual good guys. A very great game with limitless possibilities.
