So far I've done 3 things that I've always wanted to do.

1) Gone sick slicing people up with a samurai sword in a shopping center, complete with head severage and blood squirtage

2) Pulled a wheelie on a motorcycle, squashing a police man as I go then making an escape listening to 99 Red balloons with sirens in the background

3) Walked into a crowded nightclub, pulled a meat claver out of my jacket and made mince meat out of the village people

Genius!

The motorbikes were a little too poor on the handling side, I felt.

GTA3 had the better city. But VC has motorbikes, so VC wins.

What Vice City improves on in terms of gameplay, it looses out on in terms of design. Compare the two game worlds of GTA 3 and Vice City and it's no contest - GTA 3 is a lot more gritty, interesting and varied, while Vice City has repetitive buildings and landscapes with no real landmarks or memorable moments.

Vice City for me so far, is much better than GTA3. There's so much more to do and it's a lot more varied.

Another genius moment is when you go onto one of the piers and point your gun at someone, they panic and run off the side and drown themselves. Oh and the drunken bum type person that has NAM flashbacks when you hold your gun in his face "Are you Charlie?"

Heh, this game's just full of funny moments.

I prefer walking in the nightclub and just lobbing a Grenade, then seeing them all fall.

Aren't I twisted.

Walk into a night club with a chainsaw, or atleast cut up some cars with one.

I agree. The aiming reminded me of State of Emergency.

The aiming in the game is terrible. As shooting relies on whether you're fast enough to scroll through each person (maybe aiming at a gangster or a cop whiles doing so) and then firing.

This is the only fault in the game. Couldn't understand why they didn't put a targeter or some cross hairs to actually help people out. Lets hope Rockstar make an upgrade or something and improve it.

Apart from that. Good game. Very good.
