	Games - Grand Theft Auto: Vice City soundtrack

The soundtrack of the game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is popular not only with fans of the game, but also with lovers of 1980s music. In the game it is played on various "radio stations" the player can tune into after stealing a car, but it has also been released in a box set or seven separate CDs, with the European editions of the CDs containing a few extra songs that are not on the United States edition.

Most radio stations play a mixture of music, DJ chat, and spoof advertising, all of which are included on the CDs. The stations each reflect one style of music intended to evoke the atmosphere of the time.
