Suffering from ads?

Since he said "Two of the best games ever", I imagine he already knew that they are GTA3 and GTA3:VC.

But then... What's the question?

Puzzling over that myself. Although the guy in GTA3 doesn't have good taste in cars. He should be cruising around in a Banshee.

Yeah, but maybe... just maybe... if you inserted those into PSP and zoomed in you might find a 1 pixel difference

Oh. Since he said re-released, I thought it meant that there's already been one and now it is being released again.

Space, the difference between the two games graphically is just about non-existant... I see no need to count them as two seperate games, so to speak. What's so revolutionary with GTA:VC that one need to buy it if one have GTA3?

The graphics in VC is much better than in GTA3, and there's a lot more options (Like being able to buy your own apartmens...


... and lots more...





The downside: Everything is so... pink

the two games were previously release on PS2 and had a HUGE difference in graphics, the pictures I posted are of the X-Box versions of each. The only difference there would be story line and slight variations in the gameplay.

OK. But I don't see any huge difference at all? On the contrary, the pics seem quite similar in quality...

The graphics in VC are much brighter.

I tend to like the drab feel of GTA3 though, and the fact that your character doesn't do any talking is a huge plus.

I liked the setup of GTA3, but I LOVE the 80s, so VC has a soft spot in my heart. And, I actually finished VC, while I'm like at the last (tough) part in GTA3 and never finished.

The character we play in VC is, to put it bluntly, an agreive ****head. The game is segmented more too, with 3 seperate islands rather than just two halves of a map - you get a greater sense of acievement.
