Yes. Yes. It's irrefutable that Vice City is going to be at the centre of the gamer's focus.

However, let us not forgot that the "other" two releases are well worth picking up too. Both Ratchet & Clank and Lord of the Rings demand your attention IMO.

Ratchet & Clank. The seamless progression on from Jak & Daxter. Maybe it's better. Who knows? I for one, am enjoying this. It's a good-platformer. Dare I say it, I'm enjoying it more than I enjoyed Mario Sunshine. After I put Vice City back in it's box. Promising it'd get it's moment tonight, over the weekend and quite possibly into the foreseeable future, Ratchet & Clank is a platformer that needs to be played.

Lord of the Rings. I wasn't going to buy this. I hate movie tie-in titles. GoldenEye not withstanding of course. But after seeing it in action and hearing the gushing praise from a couple of the guys in my local indie, who haven't steered me wrong before. I bit the bullet. Decided against purchasing a Datel X-Port and picked this up instead.

The intergration between the movie sequences and the game are impressive and aren't interupted by any obtrusive loading-times. It's effectively a very nice looking and polished Golden Axe or Streets of Rage. Sans a 2-player mode, which would've been nice. It's a good game. Defintely worth your attention too.

So remember folks. There is more to life than Vice City.

Allegedly.

it all really depends on what type of games you like i like rpgs but alos like action so if you enjoyed this game the first time you completed it you can play as a different character which requires different tactics as well as things to unlock

The Two Towers worth getting then? I've kept my eye on it for a few weeks now, it certainly looks fun but I've been worried it will suffer as most hack and slash games have suffered before, repetition.

I'm not really looking forward to Vice City, Lord of The Rings or Ratchet and Clank.
