Think back to WWF:smackdown 2.all the new improvements :hell in cell,ladder matches,TLC, better career mode and CAW.After Smackdown 1,which REVOLUTIONISED wrestling games (like GTA 3).The sound of a second,more superior game was exciting, so everyone just HAD to keep track of what was going to be added to the sequel, just like whats going on now,when i first played Smackdown 2 i thought yeah all this stuff i knew ages ago, this is what i imagined.I(and allot of others) knew vice city had 40 weapons,100 vehicles and loads more by july-august.This long wait and the constant updates like:new vice city pics, chainsaw confirmed in new rockstar sequel,upcoming GTA delayed. All this just goes on and on, dont you see, We've completed Vice city before it has even been released.
Or maybe i'm wrong,maybe it will revolutionise games even further than before, but it WONT REVOLUTIONISE ME like GTA 3 did.
When I read the review of GTA 3, my brain could not process the data, there was no game to compare to, so i just had to go out on december 23 2001 to buy this new craze.
When I go to read the review of GTA : vice city my mind will just compare the new game to the old one but with more stuff which i knew about ages ago.
I'm gonna own it no doubt about it,and probably fall under its spell for another few months or maybe not. November 08 2002 will be a day of mixed emotions. This long cold wait will have different affects on people and better be worth it.
A bad example using smackdown 2 maybe, but the morale of the story is there.
I hate to be so down over what will be a day to remember in gaming history but you have to look at the negatives as well.
I leave with a message as simple as this, dont write a potentialy sad message as after a while the tears make your skin as wrinkled as the old woman who get hit with baseball bats on a certain game(my precious GTA 3 will always have a place in my heart. sniffle sniffle)

I must admit, GTA3 wasn't really "my cup of tea", but everyone else loves it...
My older brother is a games-tester for Sony, and he tested Vice City last Friday. He said it's a lot better than GTA3, better graphics etc etc, so you should be pleasently happy.
(Oh, and guess what footballer was in there on Saturday, doing motion capture for Fifa 2003? Only Edgar Davids! I've asked my bro to get his autograph if he's in again.
One last thing, my bro doesn't know much (an understatement) about football, and he told me "a footballer came in work today", I asked who it was, he said "I don't know, but he had dreadlocks and orange glasses". It's almost criminal how a fool like my brother doesn't know the Legend that is Davids...)

Hadn't thought of that actually.....want to see as much of the new city as possible but the best way to find your way around is doing the missions.
The taxi missions are probably the best way of learning the city as they take you all over the place and seeing how vast this city is going to be then this might be the best way to go.

notice that my two vice city topics have a month in between and one is positive and one is negative,proving the piont of the long wait and over hyped brain

Yeah, just think Meta Gear Solid 2. I'm sure it would have been much better without the spoiler, and all that anticipation. Although I could be in denial, and that the game truly was disappointing.
1, I already said that comparing to smackdown was weak
2, I have pre-ordered vice city (via gameaday)
3, I don't need viagra
4, The morale is, dont read to many previews or news because it will affect you're gaming experience.
Now.........SHUD UP

It's only been hyped up by other people - mags and game sites etc.
Rockstar themselves haven't actually hyped it up, or released that much info on it anyway.
We don't really know that much anyway if you think about it, they're obviously hoping to blow us away with something even better than what they've leaked about.
Oh, and P.S. It says in Play that you can 'charter' helicopter rides across the city. Does this mean you'll not actually get to fly one?
Or do you have to kill the pilot : )

You know what forces us to see previews and screenshots?
