"The True Crime demo is..."

Awful to say the very least. He dances like a t*t when you go to shoot and the controls are very poorly laid out. Graphically its a step back from the GTA series and the driving sections are on a par with Enter the Matrix. I was shocked at how poor it was all round and considering the amount of hype surrounding it I wasn't surprised to see it turn out to be way below average. Its a shame to be honest as they couldn't have picked two worse levels to show the game off. The other huge disappointment was Rugby 2004 which is nothing like the original and no where near as good. Companies seem to be taking steps backwards these days and the word "progression" is something that EA are yet to comprehend with in any way shape or form.

On a good note I enjoyed the Colin McRae and Freedom Fighters demo but Soul Calibur 2 for me was just an upgrade of the first one and not a touch on Dead or Alive 3. I will have a bash on the Amplitude demo later along with the Zone of Enders and Formula One demos. Not a bad mag this month though and the demo disc rocks muchos!

Your views on the games on offer?

And where did you hear that KR?

There was a report in the news section here on SR, that said GTA4 will be released on the current PS2. So maybe we could see it before the PS3 comes along.

Well I think I might rent the new GTA game before i consider buying it, Vice city wasn't that much of an improvement over GTAIII.

The proper sequel to GTAIII will be on the PS3, might be a launch title.

I'm a die-hard ninty and I have to confess GTA... is fantastic... people seem to get annoyed that the game gets dull after a while but it's after a long while and that happens with all games.

On the other hand Rockstar need to keep the games feeling fresh... because if you got board of GTA3 then GTA: VC doesn't seem that much more amazing... I mean I got board of VC far quicker than 3.

I guess we should all wait for the next installment... they are taking longer over it afterall.

Figo fail the first task and you get taken to the other area. I completed the first and got to fight the guy in that bar.

How can you say Vice City is a bad game? Its hilarious fun, chasing pedestrians around the streets wielding a chainsaw is golden comedy.

Hmm, this is the demo with OPSM2 were talking about right? Because On mine I have the 'Race to the bar' level and then a one-on-one fight with 'Weng' is it? Anyway, as far as i knew, there was no shoot out part in the demo.

In the magazine it says there is a shooting level after 'Race to the bar' however I have a fight with Weng. Im confuzzeld

How can you say GTA3 was a bad game?
It just isn't.

"make a better stab at the genre"
GTA invented the blummin' genre.

I have played the demo again and totally agree with Ali, True crime sucks.

And you said your dissapointed by the last two GTA games? GTAIII was possibly the best game ever.

Hmmmmm........

After feeling a bit let down by the last two GTAs, I was hoping this one would make a better stab at the genre.

I'll hold out for some reviews.
