This thread has been linked to the game 'Grand Theft Auto 3'.
Now that the thrill of Vice City is almost over, it's time for a new game to rock your world! Enter GTA: Rotherham, the huge sequel to last year's chart ruling masterpiece. GTA: Rotherham gives us more cars, more gangs, more missions, and much less to explore! With a great new character line-up including the likes of Dave, Bob, Sheila, John, and Paul and Barry Chuckle. I should of course point out that I'm from Rotherham and that this is just a bit of fun, so please don't take this seriously, at all. Enjoy!
New gameplay features:
The most important aspect of the GTA games is without doubt, the gameplay, and GTA Rotherham will bring several new elements to the subtle blend of extreme violence and property buying. Most notable is the new property building system, as well as being able to buy the local hot properties, you can now build you own! Everything from
Off-licenses, to the one thing that Rotherham has sorely lacked for the past fifteen years…a Cinema (fact).
Voice acting/Soundtrack:
Although GTA: Rotherham isn't set in the 80's, it will feature a top-drawer soundtrack from CLASSIC 80's pop act (and true Rotherhamers): Jive-bunny. Their seemingly endless talent will be used to fuse modern hits such as Will Young's Evergreen, with the ambient works of Brian Eno. Plus many more of today's finest acts including Scooter, One true voice, and those loveable punky-popsters: Busted.
The star studded voice acting cast of the previous GTA game was always going to be a hard act to follow, so Rockstar have enlisted the finest in local talent to provide the voice for Rotherhams many crime bosses. Enter the popular children's entertainers: The Chuckle Brothers. These comic geniuses will be used to provide the voice acting for key characters such as Barry, Ted, Jim and Beryl. The Chuckles themselves will also make a cameo appearance and have their own mission set as two bumbling chip shop owners!
Gangs:
GTA Rotherham will feature many unique and hilarious gangs. Here's the lowdown of Rotherhams most feared and downright wacky gangsters!
The Skateboard Massive:
Although not the meanest of Rotherhams inhabitants, the Skaters incapacitating stench of incense sticks and mature Gorgonzola will make your lead character dizzy, and gradually deplete his energy. The Skateboard Massive aren't a violent gang, but their tendency to stare menacingly at anyone who doesn't wear a hooded top is very intimidating.
The Adolescents:
Whenever these are around, be sure to cling onto that Holographic Charizard, as these fellows will rob you of it in a flash. This feared gang specializes in importing the finest trading cards from their contacts in Japan. Their addictive personalities mean that they're easy to befriend, just a few booster packs here and there and you're laughing!
The Bowls Players:
Despite generally being older than other gangsters, the Bowls player is certainly a force to be reckoned with. They'll kick off if you so much as look at them funny, and if you think you can escape them, you're so wrong. The Bowls player's pinpoint aim means that escape from doom is nigh on impossible. Be afraid.
Mini Games:
As well as all these astronomical improvements, GTA will also feature a host of cool mini games. Here's an example of just a few…
Stop the Skater:
Knock the skater off his board! Sounds simple, but you're armed only with your intelligence and a big pile of pebbles. You must scatter these pebbles across the skaters' tracks to see if you can turn him into a mass of grazes and dislocated bones. If you do so within the time limit, your reward is a new outfit: The Goth.
To me, to you:
Featuring the Chuckle Brothers, this brilliant mini game has you taking a sheet of glass through the busy streets of Rotherham. As the Chuckle Brothers you must avoid gang members, oncoming traffic, and the disgruntled bloke that seems to feature in every edition of Chucklevision. Both Chuckles are controlled using both analogue sticks in a similar vein to the cracking PS2 game: Kuri Kuri Mix. The reward for reaching your goal with the sheet of glass intact is a new car: The Chuckle mobile.
So there you have a brief lowdown on the future of the mighty GTA series. Hope tha's enjoyed it. Thanks for reading!
