"Is GTA really that good?"

I myself have become a big GTA fan, particularly of Vice City. I suddenly thought to myself the other day, why do I like it? I mean look at the state of it, especially the latest installment San Andreas. The graphics are beyond crap, it is very glitchy and the gameplay can be very awkward.

I took a step back and realised that it is a combination of some very shoddy core elements held together by the less important things. The huge free-roaming element doesn't really compensate any more because it simply isn't the novelty it used to be. So please, why the hell is it still considered to be better than God?

it's like the best game on ps2 because it feels like there are no limits and the fun of doing the missons is great.Not just all that the graphics are good and it will last long

Well, in my opinion GTA is fun, but it ends right there. You play GTA because it's lovely to spend time driving around, stealing cars, performing hits on gangs, etc... But I don't think that it is THE best game, when I have the choice between getting a good game, and GTA, I always choose the other good game, because it's more important to play the next MGS, the next Resi Evil, the next FF... than to play the next GTA. That's what I think, but most people seem to take GTA more seriously than it deserves..

i gruss you are right, i am a big gta fan but it don't look that real unlike THE GETWAY or some other games. I still stand by my guns and say that gta (not london)is still the best in my eyes.

So you are sticking up for these games, although you love them so much you don't know that they are not spelled vise city and san andrass? And bloody hell...grafices? i couldnt spell graphics this bad with my eyes closed (here...i will type it with my eyes closed...graphics...heh would you look at that...perfect)

T'is damn good.

Yup, I'm playing through it for my third time just now, and it's my game of the year so far.

So you got Mercenaries then Lou?

Why? Everyone is entitled their own opinion. Most people on here know I'm a big GTA fan, but not everyone HAS to like it.

'Good' but not 'great or 'brilliant'.

and early on the aiming is utter toss, how come nobody though of having an optional aiming sight?

The fact that was missed is staggeringly pathetic.
