Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
On 27 July 2017, the Psychic Friends Network sued Rockstar over the character named Auntie Poulet who shares similarities to the late psychic Miss Cleo who was actually voiced by Miss Cleo.
Mike Snider of "USA Today" wrote that "Vice City" "raised the bar for video games", citing its interactivity, violence, and soundtrack. "Kotaku"s Luke Plunkett and "PC Magazine"s Jeffrey L. Wilson both named "Vice City" the best game in the series, with the former naming it the "perfect "Grand Theft Auto" experience". The readers of "Official UK PlayStation Magazine" named "Vice City" the fourth-greatest PlayStation title ever released. "Vice City" also appeared on Japanese magazine "Famitsu"s readers' list of top 100 games in 2006; it was one of the only Western titles on the list. Art director Aaron Garbut felt that, alongside its predecessor "Grand Theft Auto III" and successor "", "Vice City" led the trend of open world games.
