Why do so many of you think GTA 3 is better than GTA: Vice City?
Im getting the double pack soon and i will still play GTA 3 but i dont think it beats GTA: Vice City, im so confused at why lots of you think GTA 3 is better, the guy doesn't speak in it, there are no motorbikes and there are lots of other features it lacks of which Vice City has.

Me Thinks:

95% = GTA 3

99% = GTA Vice City

I think you're maybe just too young to get it :D

I remember having a flourescent pink shell suit in the late eighties, bo my mum should have been put in jail for putting that on me, but that's the way things were.

The entire Vice City game seems to have a watered down painted look to it, it really is an effort to make the game fit into the decade it was ste in, and I think it really works excellently. As for the bland textures and repeated building, I really have never noticed any two buildings I would class as identical, but such a thing would almost be a technical issue, maybe in having the larger two areas in the game rather than two smaller ones, that would limit the number of textures which could be loaded into RAM for each area.

The flourescents and the washed out look of the graphics are spot on for the era the game was set in, and I love it.

One of the best touches to the game was the C64 loading screen at the start, oh the memories come flooding back :D

I personally thought GTA 3 was a lot more enjoyable.

i think they're pretty similar, same kind of missions, gangs, zones. only thing is transport and weather on vice city, and maybe size, but it takes ages to get from 1 side to another on gta3
