    [​IMG] I'm wondering if this game will be released on PC. I really hope so, since it's getting great reviews.

    By the way, if there is any PS2 gamer that has this game, feel free to give us your opinion. ;)

    July I believe, for XBox and PC. Maybe June, but definitely at least 6 months away.

    I've played it, good game, but very similar to the last 2. Like them, you'll probably like this one.

    It's way better then the last two, I have spent hours upon hours un just exploring the landscape and the huge cities, I mean the world is 5 times as big as vice city, which should put it somewhat in perspective.
    There is so much to do and see in that game, so to say it's like the last two is a little misleading.
    I say buy the game as soon as you can, you won't regret it

    Well, it is like the last 2. The fact that the world is bigger doesn't change the basic gameplay.

    It's still very good of course.

    yeah but there are so many new features, like the way, you can change your appearance and that it actually affects the world. plus a lot of mini games, like gambling and all the arcade games. it really has a lot more to offer then the last two

    I agree with Equester, although the gameplay is virtually identical, there is so much more to do. It's the small things that have been added that make it so much better.

    The original press bait quotes touted it as being 5 to 6 times bigger than Vice. Which I wasn't all that impressed about since Vice had a lot of water (and you couldn't swim). However a few quotes later and it was clarified to five to six times the entire size of the Vice map. This game is huge and I've clocked in at just under a 100 hours of play time and I still haven't got bored with it. The only downside is that you can get a little lost or unfamiliar with places, though it's a virtual state so what do you expect lol.

    Basically as people have already said if you liked the previous two, you'll love this one. :)

    Laertis - I feel for you mate, I'm going through the same anguish at the moment GTA-VC is my second favourite game (after BGII). To make it worse my best friend has it on PS2 and I don't.

    I look forward to the day that I get it and install some uber cool mod that makes the gaming experience o so much greater.

    GTAIII and VC came out about 6 months later on pc than they did on PS2 so it could be out by May :crosses fingers:

    I've played it a little at a friends house and first question that popped in to my mind when I played it was "Where's Tommy?!" :(

    I don't like that you have to keep your guy in top shape by exercising and eating. They should've called it GTA: The Sims instead :p

    But overall it had lots of good improvements like swimming. I rate it 7/10. Once it's out on PC it's 9/10 :p

    I exercised at the beginning of the game for a few days straight to get full muscle and never again. It doesn't need to be an ongoing thing; also, eating 5 big meals every couple of hours play is usually good enough.

    actually eating 1 big meal every other in game day seams to be enough. and if it isn't the game will tell you when your are feeling hungry, so it's not that much sim like.

    Yeah, but running around eats fat and muscle and I like having a spare tyre to protect my biceps from wasting away :)

    Just finished the storyline missions today; time to go hunting for unfinished things now.l
