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.

First of all, the gta double pack does'nt feature any new games. They just copied the pc game, put both in 1 box, and sell it for £40 and people say its great!.

Just think for 1 min, if rockstart werent going down, then why did they brough the gta series to xbox? By rockstar going down, I mean the gta department, other games like max payne.

They brought the gta series to xbox to make some money so they can keep the GTA running. If they were to bring a new game to xbox, they would of created a new game, not to copy one from the PC. The only reason they copied the PC version and brought it to xbox, was to make money. If you concenterate, you will see its exactly same as the pc version, no improvements.


I think they have already started making GTA 4 (GTA IIII) , that seems to be 10 times better than double pack, but is'nt going to be released till end 2004, or early 2005.

8.9/10 from XOM for the GTA Double Pack

Surely it deserves more if the PC games are anything to go by

Maybe they're just arriving a bit late, most people who want them have them already.

Yes, I bought it even though I already have the PS2 versions, so I'll be traded them in for something else soon.

It may be an old game but it's still one of the very best.

Each to their own opinion I suppose, but True Crime has better gameplay over Vice City? I really don't understand how anyone can think that, and I think Vice City has better visuals than TC. It has better animation, better lighting effects and has a much more solid feel to it.

When did they ever START going down?

The X-Box has many decent games, R63, PGR2, KOTOR, MM3, Splinter Cell, Soul Calibur 2, Halo and soon Halo 2, plus there are many more.

The GTA double pack can only strengthen the X-box's reputation even further, it certainly won't damage it.

Hahah. you can do everything in GTA what you can do in True Crime.Minus 3 major game mechanics. Oh well

This is just getting better. 'More graphic's'? And what? As I've said, graphics don't necessarily make a great game.

That's a lie - i can recall at least 15 weapons from GTA3, and there's more in GTA:VC, so hush

Woo! it's still poor.

Erm, I never found above 10 weapons in true crime when I rented it, probably the worst game I have ever rented.. (That says a lot.. I once rented the sims!)

Do you seriusly think GTA double pack is going to be popular?
Rockstar is seriusly going DOWN, theyr bringing GTA III wich was released in 2001, on the xbox. Thats not going to make xbox any better. Why bother to bring a 2001 game into a 2004 console???

Just think for 1 min, then you'l understand.
And Vice City is new, but still released in 2002. True crime was released on 7 NOV 2003. Much better graphics, and gameplay.

Unless rockstar bring the next GTA, wich is the GTA 4 ( GTA IIII) they will keep going down. You should bring a descent game on a descent console, xbox is descent released in end 2003. But GTA, released in 2001 is one of the oldest games. And its bringing xbox's reputation down!
