That's not a game to me. That's just garbage. I love my violent games, and I'm a huge fan of FPS games, but even I draw the line somewhere.

True Crime? I laugh at True Crime! Until I have the game in my xbox and I'm enjoying myself, the words "True Crime" mean nothing to me. A targeting and fighting system similar to DTR is enough to turn me off of the game completely. Of course I'll be getting it if it actually turns out OK, but True Crime has proven nothing to me, while GTA has taken weeks of my life.

*Snif Snif* I smell a fanboy GTA 3 was AWESOME but you know what gta vice city was the same thing except with motorcylces and crappy music. Oh and it had alot more black people in it. Thats about it. No ground breaking features.

GTA is awesome. It creates this alternate world for us to do what we want. The game does a great job of creating immersion and i love the series.

I cant wait for GTA3/vicecity to hit xbox

Hell i already have GTA3 on my PC and i still want it. Its that good.

I am sick of this GTA talk. This game is not really that great. There someone had to say it. I mean honestly after doing some really sick stuff to people it gets boring. It is not that good. The graphics aren't that good, the targeting is off, you see the same people everywhere, you can't communicate with no one, the missions range from okay to tedious, and I can go on and on. Let PS2 keep it. The Xbox is doing just fine. I thank you.

Spoken like a true fanboy.......

Before you found out about GTA4 being exclusive to PS2 you said the following about GTA3 on xbox:

Were the graphics for the PC version as hot as those screenies that I saw? Please say yes, please say yes.

You seemed pretty excited to me.......

Eventhough I'm not a huge fan of the game, I find it admirable that a lot of people like it for the simple fact that they enjoy a game to such a degree. Many of you here may think I'm nuts that I still play Halo like I just got the game...nearly 2 years later... In fact, every game I purchase, especially shooters, I compare it to Halo and every single game has fallen far short of Bungie's masterpeice.

So...again, I admire the fact that people are hardcore for the GTA series... it's a good thing for the gaming industry...despite my lack of excitement for the game. I just think the game could be so much better.

Yes, I believe Halo could be better...but, not with anything that would detract from it's brilliance... Instead, I would like more maps, a couple more weapons, and a few more vehicles...I just can't get enough of it. But, behold Halo 2...the answer to my cravings. Has the GTA series done anything to answer? I believe not...but, I really hope they do one of these days.

Maximus, have you ever made a post with out saying the word "halo"

You rat bastage, get GTA and love it.

A post without saying the word Halo? Are you kidding? Hell no!

I have it on the PC already. It's cool...don't get me wrong, I just think it could be so much better. I don't have GTA: VC on the PC, of course, but, I have played it on a PoS2 and Rockstar seriously didn't make much of an improvement with it as I was hoping for. In fact, I think GTA3 was a hell of a lot better...probably because it's the PC version....

true dat.

there's too many good games coming out in the near future to waste money on an unoptomized, year old ps2 port bundle that i already played on PC....and i don't see what the hullabaloo was about, the game wasn't that great. it was good, and the freeform gameplay was great, but the game overall just kinda became a bore.

Online? If that is what's going to happen then that is what's up!

IMO, gta is a great game but if it was put in a 1v1 deathmatch with halo, it wouldn't have a chance. Halo would give GTA the big boot and leg drop and finish it off while reading the newspaper and drinking tea. And then it would pour the steaming hot tea onto GTA's face, leaving it scarred for all eternity.

Calm....Calm.....

Take it easy old Rec. You can shoot any other virtual people, but a virtual cop is a no-no? What if I refused to acknowledge a game where you can shoot grunts? They just want their food nipples, but they suffer anyway.

But that's beside the point......
Playing a GTA game doesn't make me want to kill anyone more than eating my Corn Flakes. Would you feel the same way were you not involved in the Armed Forces somehow? I can play GTA and enjoy it for the enthralling story line, or the fantastic gameplay, or even the TREMENDOUS 80's MUSIC!!(Doc ).

I even have a great respect for police officers. My Grandpa was a cop. My officer down at the firestation is a cop. I actually want to obtain a career in law enforcement after school.

Overall, what I want to say is that I can play GTA and not kill any cops, or feel like I'm being trained to steal cars. I just think the game is worth playing.

To each their own. It's my right to not like the game. If I don't want to like it, then I can. Virtual or not, whether it motivates or not, I don't think it's appropriate. I think a line has to be drawn somewhere.

But regardless, you can love it, you can swear by it, whatever.
It's garbage in my books.

I said it before and I'll say it agian...................WHO CARES!

The game is not as good as the hype surounding it. (IMO)

I plyed it for about 5 hrs, waiting for it to be "REAL GOOD" and it never got real good. But some folks like wondering aound aimlessly being violent just for the sake of being violent.

GTA is a great series if not the best and its one of the reasons microsoft is getting spanked by sony in terms of sales.

Another reason is Sony has been around much longer and people buy what they are most familiar with in this industry.

Nintendo is very familiar. Nintendo makes a great deal of money due to it's Gameboy sales. Nintendo probably outsells Sony as a whole in the gaming industry.

I will NEVER buy that game NEVER. By the way folks, we DON'T GET THE BUNDLE. PS2 gamers do. We have to shell out $50.00 for vice city. I heard it on pulse. A very reliable gaming news program on G4. I will NEVER have that game in my library. This type of game is a trend that other companies will follow. Kind of like how SEGA has took the football crown from EA. Their will be others like it. And prob will surpass vice city and Rockstar games.
