GTA 3 or GTA: vice City. I bet you that's all you're hearing at school. Well, Why shouldn't you be? It's amazing. I mean, I like Ninty n'all but where's the competition. What has Ninty produced that could beat PS2's GTA and XBOXs Halo.
Not every one of you will like them but they have quality which no other game has ever reached.
Where's the game which could sway ratings in Nintendos favour.

Look, here's the evidence. When Mario Sunshine came out, sales of the'cube rose by 45%.

My mates are all thinking about getting the PS2, just because of GTA and I don't blame them.
To beat them we need something special, not a duplicate or a copy of a game off another console. Something very special.

If Nintendo leave it too long games companies will look for the bestselling console and pop their game in with the greatest.

We need the game to beat all games! (but it looks very unlikely we'll get it,''extremely dissapointing'')

I have to say, the PS2 is now cheap enough that people can choose between the gamecube and the PS2 easily - if your just going to buy for games that is. i know that the gamecube have Metroid and Zelda, and eternal darkness, and mario, and resi (could i go on?) to compete with the other consoles, but at the moment PS2 is winning with GTA vice city, and why? cos it appeals to almost everyone that buys a PS2. the PS2 has a very adult, mature look to it, so of course that's who's gonna buy it, and therefore they'r gonna be old enough to buy the game. but because the gamecube appeals to all ages (which is a good thing in my opinion) it means that younger people aren't gonna buy older games and older people aren't gonna buy younger games.
But i have noticed something about the PS2, why the fuss about this one game? is it because its better than the other games at the moment? well yes, but WAY better. I feel that there are quite a few good games coming out on the gamecube. it's just that they'r all the same quality goodness. this quality is brilliant, but thats why we don't hear about them all, because there is an abundance of the quality. on the PS2 i have heard nothing but Vice City. is that because it is the only good game at the moment? my brother has one other footy game for the PS2, and none of his friend have anything else on it that they'd rather talk about.
I don't think that Vice City is going to sway the ratings. it may do for a while, but then there'l be other good games elsewhere...like on the gamecube :)

I Don't think Zedla, When looking at that Poll from NOM For what people would of bought instead the E3 Version or the Cel Shaded Version, The Figuares had a huge difference between them but what u think is what u think :)

Metroid Prime will if it keeps getting the hype it keeps getting, Also Mario Kart heh...Yup...Mario Kart will get me Camping outside the store and waiting untill the morning for the shop too open :D
