I landed many a london bus in the Themes in the london map of Midtown maddness 2, great game.

None of the GTA series have every really appealed to me, dunno why.

If you think this one is like the others... THINK AGAIN! I didn't like the earlier games as well but this one really kick @$$!

Nah, i could never buy GTA 3, ive been put off it by life 2 people (one of which is incredibly anoying, and happens to be incredibly loud for such a small person) talking about it endlessly in my physics and graphic comm. class about it.

Heh, I've never wanted to start a platform war but this thread is just too tempting. (I want to say I've been playing this game for months on the PS2 while you guys are just now getting it on the PC. Oops, guess I just said it. :p )

Ok, sorry, now that I got that out of my system, I have a legitimate question. How does the driving part of the game work out? I've yet to play a driving game on PC that doesn't suck major ass because I don't like the feel of driving with a keyboard. (You just don't seem to get the same responsiveness as you do with a gamepad. However, I'm sure the walking/shooting part of the game is much better because of the ability to use the mouse/keyboard combo)

Well you could use a gamepad to play it on the PC or the mouse for steering.

Yeah - I know, but we'll talk about the game - then let this degenerate into a console war - K? :)

Actually I find it suprisingly good, each car "feels" different which is good (unlike some games where the only difference is it can accelerate/go faster at top whack). I know driving doesn't always seem "real" on a keyboard and to be honest I've yet to experience a wheel so I can't really compare but I do seem to prefer the controls on the keyboard over the gamepad. And yes, mouse movement in "on foot" mode is a godsend, I really couldn't get used to running around on the gamepad but with the mouse/keyboard combo it is of course second nature (and shooting is a hell of a lot more accurate).

I'll have to buy a wheel some time and see what (if anything) I'm missing...

I have the PS2 version basically because my PC could not support this game. Well yeah graphics are no the best, but hey, you have a WHOLE three-section city to interact with.

Other good stuff about the game is the NON-LINEAR gameplay, you choose what mission you wanna go to. You will eventually be down to 1 mission in order to free up some more. Also the game is not like some games that have been coming out lately, this game is actually LONG, and it'll take you time to get through it. One example is the Spider-man movie game, really nice game and almost just like the movie, but it took me about 1 day and a half to finish it.

And of course the variety of interaction, like that car? Steal it, you don't like how certain person looks, hit him!! But be careful, you can get your car stolen too, I don't know if you have experienced personally but in not-so-good neighborhoods someone can get you out of your car just like you do it to other people. Have you tried getting a hooker in your car? (I don't know if this is appropriate to say, feel free to edit it). If you want details I'll give them you.

In less words, great game and storyline, not short (I don't know why, but that's important to me) and I'm really looking forward to the next game, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City coming out in October.

Just on a note.  Germany outlawed it after its recent school shooting, as so I've heard.

I still dunno... carjacking on a computer isn't exactly the real carjacking experience, and if I wanted violence I'd go for a free copy of Syndicate and get it straight, no annoying pretense of a side plot.

That or State of Emergency or whatsisname. Nothing like an anti-WTO video game.:D

State of emergency is a VERY stupid game... Nothing like GTA III. :D

Sorry for the bump of such an old topic but I thought this was pretty interesting... did you know you can fly jets? You can :)



I'd tell you how but... well it'd spoil the fun of working it out - it's actually suprisingly easy when you know what to do. Faster than the Dodo as well...

Muwahaha! :devilidea

Can that thing fly? Given 9/11 and all that, I thought the Dodo's wings were clipped for just that reason.
