I don't know...after III and Vice City came out, the first two games just don't do it for me anymore. :p

The earlier games were more of a free-for-all so playing them over and over would still provide you with new things. Maybe it's just me though...


May 13 - GTA: Vice City for PC

They better not delay it any longer...

Been waiting for this for quite awhile. I always liked going to the train station in the first city and seeing how long I could stay alive with four stars.

I don't like the graphics style of the games, after playing Splinter Cell for 5 hours straight with my Radeon 9700( best card I've ever stolen, erm, bought ) I can't really play many other games with subpar graphics ( as compared to Splinter Cell ). Funny thing about GTA 3 for me though, I've never finished the game, and I've had it for like a year on my ps2..EH..WHATRUGONNADO

Splinter Cell's graphics aren't too amazing in my oppinion, and you can't use AA which sucks majorly and the graphics are bland as hell...

Is it just me...or does the game suddenly exit for no reason at all, after playing for like an hour...?

GTA? Yeah, and also what happened to the church where you save?

God damn that game runs so slowly, it's not funny. Another one to the junkbox.

Daniel...try changing the resolution...F11. And F6 or F7 turns on/off "Frate Rate Limitation" (or something).

At first it pissed me off cause it was so choppy, but its good on 1024x768x32 without the frame rate limiter on.

BUT, I am still having the problem that after playing for about an hour, it all of a sudden quits. It pisses me off, cause I can't pass the first level, because it keeps quitting before I get enough points.
