I don't know whether he is dismissive of Vice City as art because he thinks it is not very good, or because he thinks it is morally repugnant, or because he thinks computer games can't be art. Certainly I wouldn't understand such criticism from a moral point of view -- many films of equally dubious morality are seen as works of art. Also, it is certainly a technical triumph. Most of all however I think the Independent's story is right to describe it as a work of art -- as the Design Council spokeswoman says it '"It is visually very evocative and there is an abstract quality about it." It also just makes you go 'WOW!'.
