I agree with Maverick42, he likes the GTA and Driver games but the only game like them on the XBox is Wreckless which is pretty rubbish. Driver 3 is comming to the XBox but not for ages. There is a GTA type game on the way, called True Crime Streets of LA, which I saw ages ago, but it may turn out to be a crap GTA clone. Mafia isnt really GTA so may not appear to him.

If hes after Driver and GTA games then best bet is to get a PS2 if he hasnt got one. As it has GTA3 and Vice City as well as being able to play the old PS1 games of Driver 1 and 2.

Perhaps I wasn't clear. My intentions were:

'Uh-oh. Another guy taking consoles at face value. Seeing as he's in a hurry, I'd better remind him about how much money he's spending. Then he can do some proper research and find what's best for him.'

If it's an X-Box then so be it, it's a good console. I was just slowing him down. Surely you, as an previous PS2 owner, must know that lots of console sales are due to people taking consoles at face value, not really knowing what they're buying. I was just trying to prevent this.

Lighten up, eh? :D

Maverick thats a bit stupid thing to say. If he did'nt want an Xbox he would'nt ask us questions would he?

I can see that your post is in otherwords: -

"Woa woa mate, slow down, I don't like Xbox so im telling you not to get one, Get a Gamecube instead so we can be bestest buddys"

Don't rush things mate - take your time. Weigh up all three consoles and then decide which is best for you. Have you even considered a PS2 or GameCube? You never know, you might go for one of them. It's a pricey business, buying consoles, so be sure.

Look at a post titled "Thinking of buying an Xbox?" That'll tell you all the things you need to know.

Oh and Halo is a must purchase

Driver 3 is due out next year and I would say that isn't too far away from Driver ;)

As I listed above 'MAFIA' and 'True Crimes Streets of LA' are as near to the GTA series as you could possibly find.

Your translation isn't much better ;)

Anyway great games to get (NYR = Not Yet Released but will be before Xmas):

Halo
Project Gotham Racing
Dead or Alive 3
Amped
Hitman 2
Max Payne
Silent Hill 2
RalliSport Challenge
Jet Set Radio Future (if you decide otherwise on the package)
Deathrow
Splinter Cell (NYR)
Ghost Recon (NYR)
WWE RAW (I really like this game but rent it and see a lot think not!)
Rocky
Blinx: Time Sweeper
Medal of Honour Frontline (NYR)
Unreal Championship (NYR)
Colin McRae Rally 3
Championship Manager 4 (NYR)
Mech Assault (NYR)
Madden NFL 2003
Sega GT 2002 (if you decide otherwise on the Package)
Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind (NYR)
Quantum Redshift
LMA Manager 2003 (NYR)
Conflict Desert Storm
Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3 and/or 4


+ A few others I may have fogotten

Any of theose games above are great >>> Amazing in my opinion but others mat disagree. Try 'Raw Is War' before thinking of buying it because a lot really don't like it but I think it is a great wrestling game. There are 2 games coming out 'True Crimes Streets of LA' and 'MAFIA' which should carer for your GTA needs as they look to be great alternatives. A few of the games to be released next year include:

Driver 3
Operation Flashpoint
Deus EX 2 (Invisible War)
Metal Gear Solid 2
Brute Force
Dead or Alive 4
Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball
Kameo
Perfect Dark 2
Halo 2
Doom 3
Ninja Gaiden
VEXX
Amped 2
Project Gotham Racing 2
Dark Angel
TAO FENG
House of the Dead 3
XIII
Crimson Skies
Battlefield 1942
Return to Castle Wolfinstien
Shenmue 2
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Dead to Rights
Midtown Madness 3
Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance
Dino Crisis 3
Die Hard
Virtua Fighter 4.1
Battle Engine Aquila
Project EGO
RalliSport Challenge 2
Rainbow Six: Raven Shield
Counter Strike
SWAT: Global Strike Team

+ Quite a Few more games that I haven't listed

You could pre-order 1 and get the SEGA package with Halo or you couldn't go any further wrong than choosing one of the amazing titles which I have listed above! Not a bad release list wouldn't you say?

There isnt any games like Driver or GTA, the only one is Wreckless but that has only 20 missions an NO free roaming mode. If you like GTA games then maybe get a PS2 instead if you havent already got one.
