Can't see the appeal in it at all. It has the most unmemorable characters, a pretty average story, and the most god awful map of the entire series. Too many turns. Not a hill in sight. Too bright.

The only redeeming feature is the soundtrack.

Me too brother, me too.

The best GTA so far, it doesnt need the storyline of SA it doesnt need the graphics of IV its just brilliant.

I really hope we see it sometime in the future because its stunning.

I loved the music on the radio and in the theme.
Tommy Verciti was brilliant to play as.
I loved killing everyone in the Malibu Club
I loved driving on the beach

It was fantastic, imagine what VC could be like now if Rockstar updated it.

It would be outstanding.

IMO San Andreas was over rated, Vice City deserves more credit.

SA is too dull and boring and just puts you off playing the minute it comes on but VC just draws you in and makes you want to play.

San Andreas has a far better ambiance IMO, especially at the start. It's like watching COPS with all the dirty houses with fences, and the bridges, everything about it, really.

The soundtrack and property system were good, and the feeling, but thats it, the story was almost copy-paste Scarface [top film] and so were a lot of enviroments

I love San Andreas aswell.

<3 1986
<3 1992

True the VC map is small but the glam 80s feel fills it in lovely, great cast aswell and was made in one year, might have been less..

SA is also a great package with one hell of a pukka map.

Well out of VC and SA what should Rockstar remake?


Theres not that much they could do with SA now..yes it can be improved but not that much as the graphics werent that bad.

VC Could do with a remake, purley because if you take an amazing game like VC and add even more coolness to it like from IV, then you`ve got yourself the best game of the Teenies or Tweenies or w/e the next decade will be called.

****** says what?

SA and VC had identical graphics. Same game engine.

And everything you said in the last paragraph is a generic argument that could be applied to San Andreas too.

Remake the both of them, I say.

Really?

I didnt notice, probley because of the change in colour..
VC was bright
SA was dull

But Tommy Verciti seemed to have a square head and everything in VC Seemed square and cartoonish.

SA looked abit more real

Every GTA has its 'Girl' lol but we never actually see them.
I remember getting VC and they gave a poster with it of a girl with black hair holding a cocktail, I spent the whole game trying to find her.

SA Had a poster girl of a blonde girl with her tounge out.

IV Has a poster girl of 'Lolly Pop Girl' or as her real name is.. Lola.




But which ones the best?
Cocktail Girl? Tounge Girl? Or Maybe its Lollypop Girl?

Well theres only one way to find out...

VC had many great moments like buying new clothes, flying in a chopper, bikes, shopping mall..

Good that SA had all the above and pushed it further.. Cheating on your GF ftw!

GTA IV was a step back with the fun VC and SA gave us but the city Rockstar made in GTA IV is so full of life and organic.. Step up with the city but hope they bring the crazy fun back, Saints Row 2 had to give me that fix..

Vice City touches my soul, its neon 80s night and sunrise on the beach with that 80s soundtrack is always a gaming treat. Yeah sure the graphics look dated but it will also be beautiful to me..

My Favourite Moment in San Andreas for me was..

I got Denise Robbison to go out with CJ and we were out on the first date, we were beside grove street and suddenly a ****ing fire truck flys out of nowhere and sqashes Denise.
I never saw her since ffs

Saints Row 2 is so annoying, I have it and must say it was a waste of money.
Its basically a cheap rip off of GTAIII And they fail at it.

I think GTA Will always be the best game, I agree theres so much to Vice City and it would of been great to explore it more and have girlfriends to take to the beach, actually be able to go out to the club with your mates, go shopping in the mall just little things like that.


I love Flash FM I Have the sound track lol
