Pc: Vice City

[look_ma]

Wow, vice city is awsome for pc. The graphics are really cleaned up compared to PS2. I must say getting the hundred packages in VC is alot harder than GTA3 even with the guide book in hand some of the packages were impossible to get. I suggest you spend you money on this over the matrix game (I have both) because Vice City has high replay value.

Oooo...why'd you go and bring up GTA Vice City! I'm dying to get my hands on the PC version! BAH!

GTA III is great on the PC, I've been playing it on and off for months!

Just got the pc version last night. Havent had a chance to install. I hope its a bit easier than GTA3 on pc which was basically impossible to beat after a certain point.

yeah, vice city is alot more friendlier. It consist of just 3 islands, but they are much easier to lean thatn gta3. also they worked on alot of problems gta 3 had, i encourage all of you people that liked gta3 to buy it.

HEck, I hated GTA3 but I love Vice City. Thats how good it is.

he's just a crazy man. if i get a game i can't wait to play it. i won't wait.

btw, if you guys were to rate this game on a scale of 1-10 what will it be. i might consider buying it also or download the demo if it has one.

[Cantacuzene]

I'd give it a 9.0 The control is a bit awkward on mouse keyboard and its a bit difficult.

I started playing the game some tonight. Rockstar did a great job fixing the problems from GTA3, mainly the framerate problem. I'm now able to run the game at maximum resolution without any slowdown (even with my GF2 card). I hadn't played the PS2 version, so Vice City is definitely a welcome change of pace from GTA3. I love the mopeds and motorcycles!! One thing that is really bugging me though is trying to fly these stupid RC helicopters. :(

Yeah I agree, it is very difficult to fly the helicopters with keyboard control, it is a whole lot easier to fly and control the game with a analog control stick. The best one I have found is the Logitech Wingman, about $30.00 or less.

Considering the game was made to be played on a PS2 controller, this is the closest thing you can get o the real thing. The only draw back I do not like is the aiming, I like aiming with my mouse that with my gamepad, but whatever you prefer.

Ahh. Vice City. A great game for those who like to kill random individuals on the street for no apparent reason. Played both gta3 and VC on the ps2 version and they were great. PC makes them look nicer.:thumb:

I'm finishing up with GTA3 now, I think I will wait until the price comes down on Vice City. I just can't bring myself to shell out $50 for it.

Thanks for the reminder. I switched over to a controller for the helicopter mission and it made it a lot easier. However, it wasn't an analog, so it was still not as easy as it could be.

I will definitely need to get one of those dual-analog-stick controllers because it would be useful in games like NBA Live 2003, where it helps for special moves some.

Yeah, your welcome no problem.
