Me has got it. Woo!

*dances*

It's proper bo to say the least. I hadn't actually played Vice City before today and I was quite surprised by how much extra gameplay was crammed into it since GTAIII. Motorbikes, jumping out of moving cars, riding on top of moving cars whilst shooting(!)... needless to say I'll be playing these for aaaaaages.

Aahhhhhh! But it takes like 5 minutes to do that, and then you repeat over and over..

Sorry. Anger wants out.

As an actual game I'll admit it's not very good; the missions are the pure definition of tedium and aiming is complete and utter crap, but underneath it all, it's a thoroughly fun game to play.

Just running around the city trying to get as many stars as you can is great fun.

I look forward to getting my copy, and having "GET THAT GUY!" "AAAAARGH!" "STOP HIM!" blasting out of my stereo, along with my custom soundtrack.

Haha. Not my thing. I can see why people do enjoy it, but coupled with some really rubbish missions, bad graphics, and all the other stuff I dislike, it's really not that great.

But anyway.

oh well, it's not for everyone I suppose. But then again, I used to play carmageddon 2 for hours on end, and not even complete a stage. I just got too wrapped up in causing death and destruction on a massive scale.

That game was superb - you could run down a pedestrian, then watch a replay from the pedestrians point of view. how I used to laugh ...

I can't. It's just plain sleep-inducing after the first 3 times.

Why?

Because you do it for no reason other than itself, and you get nothing from it.

I can't see how anyone can not get into the senseless violence of the gta series. I never get tired of wrecking my car trying to lose the cops, getting out and thinking "f**k it", aiming my rocket launcher at a cop car speeding towards me, and seeing the flaming wreckage fly through the air, and actually go over my head.

the only downside I think is they could do with a few more mission and less of those silly timed challenges.

Aha, but no. 'Classics' in '*' is just plain rude. So there. At least MP gives you some semblance of rewards other than giving you money with which you kill more faceless people on a street over and over again.

Sorry, but it really has no appeal to me. Particularly when you have to contest with the worst draw distances ever in a game, terrible 'combat' and the same nauseating 'humour' thrown at you constantly while Rockstar try to pretend to be really clever...

No more nauseating than Mario Sunshine, Metroid Prime or any of the other Nintendo 'classics'.
