    I'm kinda behind on the times and hadn't even heard about this until this weekend. I never bought GTA3 so this may be my first. Looks and sounds cool judging by their site. I like that 80's theme.

    It's in stores on the 29th.

    The sniper makes me to guilty to play GTA3 or buy vice city any time soon. Eventually I probably will though when I become re desensitized.

    I have been playing GTA3 recently, and I absolutely love it. I noticed in a commercial that they are reintroducing motorcycles into the game in Vice City. That is outstanding because I loved driving the crotch rockets around in the first game. I think I might purchase this game.

    wow i had heard of people like you, just never believed y'all actually existed.

    get to your nearest gaming store, purchase said game immediately, place into appropriate PS2 orifice, bludgeon as many people as possible with a baseball bat. and if you have time maybe even try to complete a mission. you don't know what you've been missing.

    I preordered. Should be fun. I think my copy is supposed to arrive Thursday, which would lead some to ask, "Why pre-order?"

    I'm not really sure.

    Please tell me you just forgot to put smilies in your post.

    I've never played any GTA game, or anything similar. Infact, I've never played any game on any playstation. Last game I played was when Time Warner still had the Sega Channel.

    I am waiting for the PC version, it is much better playing on a PC with a mouse for the sniper missions.

    I'm going to buy it. I loved GTA3, As Long as they sharpen up the graphics a little bit, It should be a best seller.

    They have improved the graphics, soundtrack and the shooting interface. Ray Liotta does the voice of your character. There are dozens of other Hollywood actors doing voiceovers for the game. It's gonna be sweet.

    GTA3 sold roughly 7,000,000 copies. I shudder to think how many this will sell.

    EDIT: According to IGN, GTA3 had sold in excess of 6,000,000 units as of May 22, 2002.

    Well, If I need money I can always beat someone to death with a club, steal their car, get it re-painted and do some drive-by shooting.
