my brother has it and ive played it a few times and been bored out of my mind. Ok so it has funny bits and whatever but it really is nothing new from the GTA3. Also its fuzzy. GTA3 is fine on our tv nice sharp graphics but vice city is fuzzy. I just don't think it its much of a game. I mean especially playing metroid prime then playing it. In comparison to metroid the graphics are n64-like.

Anyway come get some PS2 fanboys :p the game you go on about loads is not that great (in my opinion) this isn't any kind of biased ninty opinion cos it sold well, but my honest opinion as a gamer.

Obviously this post is mainly against the graphics but then i just don't find it any different from GTA3. Ok all these new features but its really more of the same. Id prefer it to be different from the origional (ie better) but it isn't.

And yes i know my grammer is not very good but i really can't be bothered atm.

To be fair, GTA has never been known to have the best graphics, but the gameplay is great.

Ok, so it has killing and crime sprees and most people see it for just that, but I like it for more than that, I won't go into detail about this just now as I am working on a topic at the moment about GTA:VC.

I hate the Getaway, Vice City was better, but too much like GTA3, if VC had been released first it would have been far superior. Maybe. I liked the fact that GTA3 had three islands rather than 2 big ones and 3 eensy weensy ones.

I'm hoping they stick the multi-player addirtion onto the PC release... I understood it was pretty much ready for the original GTA3 production, but was kept back for reasons unknown?

Not unless you have a network between each others house, 4 copys of the game, four playstation 2's and four tellys.

Rockstar are genius.

The "fuzzy" look is the neon appearance - it's supposed to be like that.

While I was at college there was GTA2 installed on the college network and I played the single player game and it was so boring just driving around killing people, the network death matches with my mates were the real highlight but I doubt GTA 3 and VC have multiplay do they.
