No because I own it on PS2 and have already played it to death...

But you'll have fun with it...

Don't believe the hype.

Didn't enjoy SA nearly as much as I did VC

You must be a product of the 80's then..

Looking back I didnt really enjoy VC as much as 3, although I probably played it as much.

Thats it, you and me, in the bitchlist, right now!

seriously tho, I think its because 3 was such a big step, VC just polished off the ideas but left a lot of the really irritating bugs/gameplay features that should have been fixed

In that case.. you'll see SA in a similar way as GTA3.

It's full of unique ideas that are just waiting to be polished of in GTA6...

But i'm not like that. I see a polished version of a game as exceeding the previous version. It just has to contain enough new interesting material to be worth my purchase.

And Vice City definately was. Same goes for SA.

It's not that I didn't enjoy SA, it took up a fair chunk of my free time, it just didn't have a lot of replay value in it once the main missions were over and done with, where as VC I could happily go back to and just cruise around the streets doing vigilante missions and stuff just for the hell of it, yes those were there in SA as well, just didn't have the willpower to go back to it.

Dunno, something about it just didn't click for me, same thing with III , it was good, but didn't hold my attention.

Who knows.

I personally won't be buying it, for PC or Xbox. They're doing away with the ability to kill cops I heard, which makes it seem rather horrible.

I'm telling you it's the 80's music hitting you on a subconscience level

Who ever told you that is just stupid...

I have the polar opposite approach to gta games, I spend 99% of my time just dossing around and enjoying being immersed in a virtual world. Somehow its almost infinately replayable to me.

Well in Washington, I think there was a law passed that prohibited games which showed violence against police.

Maybe if the world was truly immersive then I might have had a bigger opinion of it, it did try though and did have a lot of extra stuff in there to keep you occupied, but perhaps not enough.

Maybe in the next installment they will truly crack the immersive world, imagine being able to go into every building, everyone in the game was an individual rather than just a clone of someone else, that would be truly something, if they can squeeze that into a stand alone console game and not have to go online to do it, then they will probably hook more people.

My main point of all this, and it goes back to my first post in this thread, GTASA has been hyped up to the roof as being 'the best console game experience you'll ever have" etc etc, when on the face of it, it wasn't that big a leap from VC, more of a refinement. III to VC was a huge leap, VC to SA was more of a hop sideways.

That might, and probably is, a limit of technology today, here's hoping that 2006/7 and a new gen of consoles brings something truly spectacular and not just another rehashing of the same format.

I take your point, I should proabably have said that I really like driving games too so crusing around is a big part of the fun. Plus I've always modded my versions to stick in new cars and other crap.

I disagree that III to VC was a huge leap, but even if SA /is/ just more of the same in a bigger enviroment, thats enough to satisfy me.
