Do you want 50 cent to be the main character in San Andreas?

Yes or No.

GTA3 was the best one it was because of the location I dont think San Andreas will be able to compete with Liberty City, Vice City couldn't. Also they should release one set in London, now I know someone is gonna say "but isn't The Getaway like that" but I just felt that the Getaway's gameplay wasn't very good driving was awkward and when shooting another person it was too hard to master.

Yup I agree, then eventually when GTA4 comes out (Vice city & San andreas don't count really) if it went online that would be really good with all the little clans you could have etc.

I guess having the chance to have your own name in the game would be good, especially if the main character hasn't got a voice, as in GTA3.

Yes because if your playing a game and (for example) you meet someone on an RPG you don't really want them to call you a name that you didn't pick yourself.

Tommy Vercetti??? I didn't like him at all but ahd to play as him and that is one of the reasons I sold the game after 2 weeks.

My Uncle plays loads of RPG's, and as strange as this may sound he thinks being able to enter your own name in place of the main characters' is quite an important thing to have in the game. I don't really know why, I guess he just thinks it adds to the fantasy. But as I say, a little strange.

Yes thats a good point but maybe a system were you take control of 50 for a period of time not further enhance the game's appeal, sales and gameplay.

No.
First of all, I don't believe in getting some celebrity to front the entire game, like Lou says below the game will go downhill.
Second of all I prefer rock music than his stuff.

No, PSM2 were mentioning as doing the soundtrack & then decided to talk about him being "The first black person to be the star of a videogame"

I hope he isn't because as you said I liked it better when the character didn't speak and had no name (wouldn't it be good if you could add your name in???)

Ahh, I've been waiting for someone to say something like this. When a game franchise becomes really popular, all the developers start to see is the dollar signs, then the games go downhill. I fear GTA's popularity may end up being it's downfall.
