    GTA3 and GTA: Vice City in one package at the time was like combining chocolate and milk for the first time.

    This is review of GTA VC because that was the one I completed the other one I could not get myself to play , What can I say about GTA VC it was my favourite game when I played it as a child , And now I played I still love it but you really feel the age by now ,
    But it's still fun I played it on an Xbox 360 so I don't know if the problems with the game was because of backwards

    But it's still fun I played it on an Xbox 360 so I don't know if the problems with the game was because of backwards compatibility,
    is it just played really poor original on the Xbox Does not have a stable frame rate but it's really fun games ,
    The story is also very good I'm third all the way through and feels sorry about Lane Danes , if you are that kind of weird that enjoy playing old games Then I would wholeheartedly recommend GTA Vice City

    Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto Vice City are masterpieces. GTA3 is a open world game set in Liberty City during modren times. The main story is great and the side missions and activities are also great. GTA Vice City is a open world game set in Vice City during the 80s. The main story is great and the side missions are really good.

    What's not to love with having two of the best Grand Theft Auto games on the Xbox?

    Both games play exactly the same as the PlayStation 2 versions but have improved graphics in terms of character models, textures, reflections, better audio and a custom soundtrack.

    There are some things that have been added to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and some things that have been altered.
    -They fixed the control and handling problems with the RC plane, helicopter and the boats in Vice City.
    -A new menu selection called tutorial and unlocked items has been added to Vice City.
    -It feels like that the difficulty for Vice City was toned down as well.
    -The song "Running With The Night" by Lionel Richie was removed from Vice City's soundtrack.
    -Many bugs are fixed.

    Overall they're more polished than the Playstation 2 versions. A must own.

Grand Theft Auto III absolutely stunned gamers with its free roam and not so linear gameplay. The missions are great with lots of action, the story is good, and the characters are also pretty good. The graphics were decent for 2001 but now they are obviously dated. This game revolutionized the gaming industry by creating a whole new genre and everyone should try it out. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is such an amazing game, and I personally believe it's a big improvement from the previous title. The biggest aspect I love most about this game is the setting; it's in a 1980s, Miami-like atmosphere, so it's pleasing to see all the bright colours from club lights and the beach front strip and also seeing the cooler sports and super cars, which Grand Theft Auto III didn't have. All of the characters are amazing and unique, the story is amazing, and the missions are amazing, everything is amazing. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is such an incredible game that everyone has to play. Expand

    I think that this game is really good because there is so much to do even when your not doing missions. However, I believe there are a few glitchs in the game they could improve upon.

    Excellent value. A huge amount of your time will be spent enjoying this game. I would give it 10 but I don't know if it would be right since the game does promote guns, drugs, murder, running over prostitutes etc.

    RavenX- Your lack of intelligence is clearly shown by your pathetic use of grammar... anyway, you must be crazy to think that True Crime will blow GTA out of the water. True crime is an average clone with horrible fighting mechanics and a storyline giving you a lot of psuedo-freedom. You're just like the idiots that thought that the Getaway would kick GTA's arse.

    These games, along with GTA SA are easily the most overrated games ever. If it weren't for the PS1 graphics, I could enjoy them more. The PS2 obviously is too under powered for games this big. Too bad they weren't made on Xbox first so at least the graphics could have been next-gen, along with the gameplay.

    I'm giving a 5 because these games have crap graphics, boring missions, and walking/shooting is so damn awkward. GG

    This is one great game. When I first popped this into my Xbox, I knew that this was one of the best games ever. It was so much better than the PS2 versions. The graphics and loading times were better, and you can use custom soundtracks. I definitely recommend this over the PS2 versions.

    gta 3 is brilliant and vice city is the best game ever made it never gets boring, its perfect in everyway apart from the cartoony graphics halo should not get 97 out of 100, id say about 92 or 93, its very good but overated.

    Sorry mark H, but I'm afraid that title belongs to Halo. Also: you are an idiot. You've obviously never played either of these games before.

    I'm sorry, but this is easily the most overrated game of all time. Everyone seems afraid to give it a score under 90. Sure the setting is cool, the map is big and its open ended, but doesn't anyone notice that it looks like a PS1 game, its difficult to control, and essentially a repetitive errand simulator?

    Agreed: it looks great, the game area is brilliantly designed and driving around is huge fun - but the second you choose a mission where you have to step out of the car you're blighted by a dreadful, akward control system and lousy enemy AI.

    What can I say about GTA that hasn't already been said? Both games have improved graphics over the already-gorgeous PS2 originals. My one beef with these games is the wretched weapon targeting system. Minus that one flaw, both games are simply awesome.

    Horrid port. The game freezes frequently, draw distances slowly become so close you can't see past your nose, and pedestrians quit talkling twelve minutes into the game. I owned three copies of this before I took it back for good, and no it was not my xbox causing the problems: all three titles did not work on EB's SAMSUNG Xbox that was brand spankin' new.

    First off, yes this game is a port you idiots. Second, if you think this is improved from the POS (oops, i mean PS2) version you havent seen the PC version. I have the PS2 and PC and ive seen the xbox one and the PC kicks all those stupid console asses! Both games are two of the best games ever made but the PC just improves on them with things like a mouse, as many mp3s as you want, First off, yes this game is a port you idiots.

    Both games' inherent brilliance remains intact. As playgrounds, they're marvelous. As experiences they're undeniably powerful. [Mar 2004, p.77]
  2. GTA's go-anywhere, do-anything gameplay design is something that truly shouldn't be missed by any gamer. The GTA Double Pack is a must-have for any console gamer.
  3. 100
    It's everything a videogame should be; innovative, compelling, challenging, long-lasting. And spiked with controversy and a wonderful wit, it's also something that so few videogames can ever be - cool.
