I didn’t enjoy vice city (boring repetitive, detached gameplay), and I definitely will not be buying this game. (If i really wanted to see a guy stealing a tv, i’d go outside)

Aah. I was wondering when the cynics would show up. I still play Vice City and while it is repetitive now, it wasn’t for about the first 2-3 months. The new game has so much crap in it, and is so big, that it’ll probably take about 4 months just to find everything. Still, it isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, what with all the gang warfare and stuff. Personally I can’t wait.

Why don’t they just call it _Grand Theft Auto: Los Angeles_. That’s basically what it is…

You get bikes, airplanes, 8 wheelers, cars (dodge vipers too) and of course feet.

You get to gamble for respect and money, sitting at the high rollers table will take some work.

When in a fight, you can call anyone wearing your colors, if they respect you, they will join the fight. You can call up your posse to take over a side of town.

Clothing you wear, your haircut and your weight - all matters when you try to pick up chickenheads :hugegrin:.

You’re Carl ‘CJ’ Johnson. In the country side. Mid-90s. 160 hours of gameplay, including mini-games, such as blackjack and craps and basketball. Learning kung-fu? Head out to the “dojo”. Build up your stealth skills to be silent as a…never mind.

Stay in your crib, steal from others houses. And sell their TVs and sofas. Game story? CJ’s mothers funeral is interrupted by a drive-by, things will get interesting. If you have something or take things too seriously against slang, crooks, stealing and killing (in videogames) don’t get this.

#1 on Most Anticipated Games List (MAGL): HALO 2  
#2 on MAGL: Zelda

#8 on MAGL:…GTA: San Adreas

Or if you wanted to be totally accurate you could call it _Grand Theft Auto: Los Angles, San Francisco, Las Vegas and All The Countryside In Between_. Doesn’t quite roll off the tongue as well as _San Andreas_ does it? It’s all three of the big cities on/near the San Andres Fault.

Also I don’t think you’re allowed to call a game after a city without permission. I can see the meeting now:

\*\*

> \*\*  
> \*\ ***Dan Houser** : Hello Mr Mayor of Los Angeles. Can we call our new crime simulation game after your city?  
> **Mayor** : Why certainly Mr Houser. Your games are so educational. In fact why don’t you put me in it as a Colombian drug lord supplying drugs and guns to the LA gangs.  
> **Dan** : Thanks very much. I’m sure gamers can’t wait to pop a cap in yo’ \*\*\* mofo.  
> **Mayor** : Thanks for dropping by Dan. By the way when can I get my copy?  
> **Dan** : October 22nd Mayor just like everyone else. Bye now.  
> **Mayor** : Bye.

Rockstar would probably get sued if they called the cities by their real names… or not, I mean, who wouldn’t love to see their city portrayed as a drug-loving, corrupt, crime haven? 😛

True Crime: Streets of LA is exactly LA, the gameplay won’t be that much different.

It sucked. It had terrible physics and generally weak gameplay. I care not about ‘accurately recreated LA’ or the so called ‘Kung Fu movie style fighting’ (yeah right). Anyway back to GTA: SA. This game is gonna kick so much \*ss! There are so many little touches that you’ll have to visit the [ign.com](http://ign.com) link I posted earlier to find out about. 😉

Games don’t have to be judged on quantum time continuums and physics of basic science laws of neuton…useless shooting and killing and stupid phrases like “get on the floor b\*tch” is always fun. **ALWAYS**.

GTA…drive-by…:drool:. You could do with by yourself in vice city and III but now drivebys with your posse…:drool:. You actually get to fly the dodo in this game.
