No sir i didn't like it. I guess that if you were a fan of the previous games you might dig it. The graphics are clean enough but this game is very repetitive and boring. The mini games that you are forced into playing to proceed are lame bordering on gay. A week after i bought it the official Xbox magazine came out giving it a embarrasingly low score of 2.3 these guys agreeing about it's mediocracy. I sold my copy quickly and bought.......

GTA: San Andreas which is a great game so far the graphics are about the same as the previous games but the gameplay is tweaked better. GTA:SA is a very dark game with way more profanity and violence than the last one (which is a good thing
)

You can easily recogize a few of the celeb voices like Samuel Jackson etc. small spoiler..a few of the hookers carry guns now so bitchslapping a ho aint as easy anymore.
But i'm loving this game and will be playing it nonstop this weekend.

Hey Sadist, where are you in GTA:SA? I have finally made it out of Los Santos and am in the country. This game is huge- it must be 4-5 times the size of Vice city. As I said before It is the best game ever IMO.

Hi Cleet, i finished the "drive by" mission yesterday, failed the next one where you have to rescue Sweet and spent hours exploring the landscape freely. I swam across a large waterway and ended in Vinewood and stole a badassed Infernus. Swimming kicks ass and i'm loving the bicycles too. I also swam somewhere where i instantly got 4 stars and had the cops after my ass.
You're right, i can't believe how huge GTA:SA is....downright amazing.

So Sadist- where are you in the game now, I finally made it to SAn Fiero out of the country- lots and lots of hills. I love this game but I miss the gang wars of Los Santos.

I play every night for about 2 hours because I suck and have to start over a lot- I finally opened up Las Venturas ( the vegas clone)- so now I can free roam the whole map- plus i can fly planes- this game rules. That Og loc dude is annoying but soon you will meet a chick who is even more annoying dude so keep your hat on - Sadist if you get stuck try GAMEFAQS.COM, or ask me and I might be able to help.
