This place is empty so im just gonna put down what i know about GTA ; vice city so far.

IT wont be a proper sequel to GTA3 but not a little add on that was expected. this is not GTA4 but more like the PCs version of GTA: London that came out a while ago.

IT is scheduled for a release on the 22nd of October, which for many of you will probably be the greatest friday ever seeing a a little known football game called Pro Evo 2 comes out that day aswell.

Many old faces are expected to show up with the likes of Donald Love and Ray the bent cop returning, maybe it is time that Darkel made an appearance seeing as the developers cut him out at the last minute. THe main character will hopefully stay the same or else it would seem pointless to change the character, maybe this time he will be able to talk and actually have a name.

The Game is set in the 80's so dont go expecting any laser guns or brand new machine guns. The cars are more then likely going to be convertibles and some top quality nice ones.

And probably for some of you the main high point will be the inclusion of motorbikes, well when you look at the box there is a picture of a bike that looks cool.

I hope you will be able to do more "Group" missions because in all honesty i found that the missions you did where YOU alone had to go and kill around 30 people a bit like james bond games which i also find boring, so what i want is more of the "bank robbery" missions where you and about four other people go and do a mission which i thought was really cool.

I wouldnt mind having either two or three people with you all the time anyways because thats the sort of thing i like to do, go round killing with a few friends i.e Final Fantasy X


well i just hope the game comes out soon, and hopefully it will be as long as GTA3

I would say the Banshee was more like a Viper than a Cobra. The Viper RT/10 is available without a roof and the cobra has round lights, the viper has long narrow lights like the Banshee, but hey, what do I know, Im a prat.

NO. sorry for shouting but you are so wrong. I don't want to seem like a know it all but you are very wrong. If you have GT3. Go to the shelby section and the Cobra is the only car. then, if you remember, the 'GT Beast' from GTA1 was the Viper. so please check. the cobra looks A LOT more like the banshee. Sure the viper has a roof!

YEs, and the 'Banshee' is based on the Shelby Cobra. This is a newish car but it is made to look like those classic cars. You can also buy it in Gran Turismo 3: A- Spec.

Yes, I typed out the whole title of the name to increase my word count.It is not much but as the slogan tells you, "Every little helps!".

Ahhh, Tesco...

4. Be able to use more weapons from vehicles (Lobbing grenades from a
speeding motorbike anyone?)


that would be great if you could lob petrol bombs.

one other thing i would like to see is being able to smash a car up with a basball bat, State of emergency had that and it was made by the same people.
