A local EB Games was selling it when Rockstar's office closed a few hours ago. They setup a few PS2s in the store. From the 20 minutes or so I got to play it was pretty fun. Ill have to wait for the PC Version in 6 months though.

yea but its been modified alot, even since Vice City. they always manage to put the previous one to shame, however they dont do anything incredilby revolutionary.

Here is the list:

Each of the 3 cities is as big as ALL of Vice City. There is also the highways and backroads you have to travel to get between cities.

You can go to casinos in Los Santos(Las Vegas) and gamble all you want if you don't feel like doing anything else.

The person you play, CJ, has a personality. If you don't eat right and don't exercise he will become fat and even the hoes will laugh at him. Be in shape and you can run longer and faster and the ladies will give you <3.

You can go to a barber shop and change your hairstyle. Shaved, afro, cornrows, whatever you want. You can wear any outfit you want at any time, whether it's a wife beater or pimp suit.

You can customize your ride with rims and paint jobs.

Your homies will roll with you to regulate on some mofos who straight up dissed you in front of your girl, hanging out of your caddy with uzis and tech-9's.

More radio stations than Vice City. I think there are 23. Each station has its own personality and each song has an intro for it. Features Nine Inch Nails, Rage against the Machine, James Brown, 2 Pac, Willie Nelson, Rick James BITCH!, Cypress Hill, Public Enemy, Faith No More, and a lot more.

Anyway, if I had a PS2 I would soooo buy it, but I don't. I'll just wait for the Xbox or PC version. :)

Heard the missions were all the same as they have been before, The only perk about it is the a crap load of minigames and pointless stuff to do such as working at a convinient store or driving your grandma to the store.

Just bought it. I've only done the first like mission with the bike ride, but the graphics don't look as good as vice city or even III. But I hope that this is compensated by the size of the game and zones, which I've heard is massive.

They're running out of eras. They've already done 60s (London), present (New York: "Liberty City:), 80s (Miami: "Vice City), and now San Andreas ("California").

Who's up for GTA5: Prohibiton...oh, wait, that's Mafia. Sorry.

Rockstar Trademarked a mess load of names, Im sure they've got soem ideas left.

hopefully the old rumors of an MMO game come about.

Imagine an MMO based around killing other people....

Singaporean Government doesn't like GTA (too violent :rolleyes: ).

Funny, seeing as there are no age limits on games, so a seven year old can buy Doom 3 with no problem.

I just want it on PC, but no...gotta put it on a console...blah.

About the engine, GTA 2 was an improved GTA engine, GTA3 was all new, and it stands to reason that GTA4 would just be an improved GTA3 engine. The real question is what they will do for GTA 5.

Hopefully MMO, cause we need a modern (not fantasy, not future) MMO.

Think yourself lucky! Around here (Leicester - search it on www.chavtowns.co.uk ) it's at least 70-80%, they're everywhere... :scared:


Anyway, back on topic, I can't wait for it on PC, I would get it on PS2 but I've not been on my console for so long.. merh, I'm very tempted, as it's my birthday in 3 days!

Bck on topic: When someone who has seen Muholland Drive gets to the area Mulholland, please confirm for me that it is a homage to the film! I just went on the website and it has the Burger Joint and the Director's Mansion (just like it is in the film, too!).

Anyone?
