Story
Vice City, 1984. Opportunity abound in a city emerging from the swamps, it's growth fueled by a violent power struggle in a lucrative drugs trade. Contruction is everywhere as a shining metropolis rises from foundations of crime and betrayal.
As a soldier, Vic Vance has always protected his dysfuctional family, his country, himself. One bad decision later and that job is abotu to get much harder. Kicked out onto the streets of a city torn between glamour and gluttony, Vic is faced with a stark choice - build an empire or be crushed.
Empire Building
With Vice City Stories set to go on sale next week, Rockstar passed over some last minute information today on the game's new "Empire Building" feature. The idea here is that instead of just running around clearing enemies out of buildings, you can now take over those buildings and start businesses in them -- "brothels, drug distribution, gambling, extortion, and other modes that will remain secret for now," according to a Rockstar statement.
This isn't just so you can look at a map and see how much of the city you own, however. As you acquire businesses and proceed through the game, you will earn money from them, play out errands and missions related to them (via notices on your pager), and have to deal with the downsides such as legal trouble and creating enemies by stealing their locations (who will try to get it back). It essentially adds a layer of strategy on top of all the running, gunning, and driving that the main game provides.

Multiplayer Modes (Ad-Hoc only)
* Vice City Survivor - a regular deathmatch mode which you can play as a free for all or in teams.
* Street Rage - A standard street racing mode
* Taken for a Ride - This mode is most similar to Capture the Flag in other multiplayer games. You have to steal the opposing team's car and return it to your base. The team with the most cars captured when the time runs out is the winner
* Protection Racket - A team based, conquest style game. When you start out you'll either be attacking or defending. If you're defending you'll have to prevent four vehicles inside your base from being destroyed and if you're attacking you'll have to take out the opposition's cars. The quickest assault on the base wins.
* Tanks for the Memories - There's one tank somewhere on the map. The team that spends the most time inside the tank is the winner but it's not all that simple - the opposition will carry heavy weaponry in order to take the tank out, like the game's new Rocket Launcher.
* Grand Theft Auto - A simple steal cars, sell cars mode. You'll have to grab specific vehicles off the street and return them to a location. The better condition the car is in when you deliver it, the more cash you'll receive. The winner is the player with the most money at the end of a given time
* Hit List - One player in the game is designated as "The Mark" and they must stay alive for as long as possible with every other player in the game chasing after them. However, the Mark cannot see other players on the radar nor can they stay in any vehicle for a length of time (it will explode after a period). Killing the mark results in someone else taking on that role. The winner is the player who stays alive as The Mark for the longest.
* Empire Takedown - Two teams, each with their own building or site. There's one set of explosives located somewhere on the level and the aim is to be the first team to grab them and deploy them at the opposing team's site. Once you're successful in rigging their building up to blow you'll have to prevent the other team from defusing the bombs while a timer counts down. When the timer reaches zero the building will explode and the winner will be declared.
* Might of the Hunter - Very similar to Tanks for the Memories but the aim is to score the most kills and there's a Hunter (aka the "Army" helicopter) rather than a tank. Once again players will be equipped with heavy weaponry.
* V.I.P. R.I.P. - Two teams - attackers and defenders and one player on the defenders' team is the VIP. The VIP must collect five briefcases, one at a time (when one is picked up another will spawn somewhere else) and then make their way to the escape point. While this is happening the attackers must try to kill the VIP. If the VIP escapes, the defending team wins but if the VIP is killed the attackers will win.
