This thread has been linked to the game 'Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas'.
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?

...which is also sub-standard for at least half of the game. Controlling all of the game's vehicles feels good and it's been done well, but pretty much everything else, i.e. on foot, shooting and stealth feels about the same quality as a PSone game.

yes ok gta graphics not that good but its the GAMEPLAY thats counts
I see your point, but being able to do loads of stuff isn't really that impressive when it's all executed in a rather mediocre fashion.

strate forwards really. what do you like in games? do u like fighting games were you just fight and fight & fight and defeat the final boss end game.then you got to do it angain with a diffent charater.
or were in gta u can do multiple things not just the same things over and over agian.

I understood the first half of that mess, the bit about you being oblivious to how shoddy San Andreas is but after that it sort of fell apart and I didn't really know what the hell you were talking about.
if anyone think that gta games are not good then thay are blind and a fool , because gta got everything you need. because i dont like playing game were you dont get anywere in the game. (fighting,driving,shoting)
I beg to differ.

Seems like a rather daft idea. The multi-pack is available for PS2 as well, and San Andreas was released months ago. With these two prerequisites, what would be the need for an XBOX? The difference in quality isn't that big.

PS2 Graphics are rubbish, But the style of ps2 the slim is 5x greater.
Xbox Graphics are perfect, You also record you fave songs into the console, No need for a memory card, And the official xbox mags feature live play, Which ps2 official mag never get's, The style of xbox it's 3x ok.
