"Best game of the year"

Bit tricky to remember what was this year and what was last year, but:

FINAL FANTASY X

I`d say pretty much exactly the same thing as FFF. Final Fantasy is my best game of the year so far, but Vice City has got me hooked at the moment.

FFX every time.
Currently hooked on VC but nothing compares to FFX.

I'd have FFX as game of the year by a long shot over GTA: VC because of the following:

FFX contains some of the most graphically stunning moments ever seen on a console, contains more secrets, includes voice acting for the first time in the series, has more longevity (work it out, 177 weapons/armours in your inventory, each with up to four available slots into which you can insert a plethora of abilities/powerups, the combinations run into the millions) and a storyline which, even in it's simplest form, is complicated. Plus the character development system is one of the most innovative out there.

Breaking down GTA: VC, it's GTA3 with motorbikes, helicopters, better voice acting, bigger soundtrack and more weapons. The gameplay, however, is more of the same with the exception of the ability to buy property. (Missions, Hidden Packages, Stunts, general mayhem...to me it's like an extra level tacked onto Liberty Island).

But then as an RPGer I'm biased.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City gets my vote

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is easily the best agme of the year. The one game from each genre competition comes with Final Fantasy 10, Pro Evolution Soccer 2, Tekken 4, Ratchet & Clank, Burnout 2, Frequency and TimeSplitters 2. Frequency is no where near as good as the rest, and if I picked a top 3 it would be Vice City, PES2 and FFX.

Pes2 was a bit of a let down in the end - Tif2003 is just as good so that puts them 2 into a draw situation.

That leaves the might GTA Vice City to be the numero uno for 2003.

Very tough between PES2 and GTA: Vice City.......

but i think Vice city get's it because it's advanced more that PES2 has advanced.

Cant name just one, as i have 3 really great games that i still play at the moment.

Pro Evo 2
FFX
GTA: Vice City.

Together, there pretty much gaming heaven!

I'd have to think hard between PES 2 and FFX. However, PES2 was really annoying me last night. Why?
-My star strikers keep getting injured and missing 4/5 games.
-The other team keeps fouling me in the area and i've only ever been awarded about 3 penalties.
-I find it impossible to beat the computer in penalty shoot-outs.
-I hate being called for fouls when you appear to have won the ball cleanly.

-Also, my keeper makes a few daft mistakes, but then he is David Seaman. (can't fault the realism there )



Anyway, where was I... oh yes..

FINAL FANTASY X

Hmmmm, PES2.
