Hooray.


How did you get 6 police bribes outside your save area?

GTA3 only. You do vigilante missions on all 3 islands, 10 missions on each island gets you a bribe at your hideout, maximum of 2 bribes earnt per island.

For Vice City, you just have to learn the locations of the bribes, unfortunately.

Ah. I didn't realize you were talking about GTA3.

After playing Vice City I just can't go back to GTA3.

They said the same thing, about GTA3, and Vice City, and that Rockstar had signed this big contract, and it would be 2010 before we'd even hear about those games on an xbox, but look what happened.

I messed around with GTA3 on a friend's playstation2 before Vice City came out and liked it, but then there was a long gap in between that and playing Vice City so I didn't notice the differences until I went back to GTA3 after playing Vice City. I agree that GTA3 is too dark, and I also think the city streets are less distinctive and therefore harder to navigate.

I experienced the opposite, actually. I can never find my way around Vice City, but in GTA3 I was able to make a mental map and memorize where everything was quite quickly.

The streets are easy to remember if you play the game long enough. I felt the same way about Vice City when I first started playing it but after a while I got the layout memorised. I know both games well now though. Both have distinct layouts though, with each island in GTA3 having a different feel. The various areas around VC also each have a different atmosphere which is always a good thing.

I prefer the darker atmosphere of GTA3 though, VC is just too bright and happy for the type of game VC is. Plus the radio stations are better (with the exception of Wave) and the cars are much nicer.

This is probably due to the fact that I've played Vice City a lot more than GTA3, but I still found the streets in GTA3 to have a more similar look than in Vice City. Also the roads in Vice City are smoother and more realistic. In GTA3 almost every crossroad that is on a downhill ends up bottoming out your vehicle.

You think the radio stations are better and the cars are nicer in GTA3??

It isn't too surprising that the game engine was improved between the two games. But as you said, there aren't that many hills to compare to GTA3.

Tired of ads?

I like the cars in GTA3 better - there are more fun cars to drive around. Vice City has a greater number of low-end cars.

In VC I listen to either Wave or mp3 stations.
In GTA3 I listen to Classical, Reggae, Chat and mp3.

My other reply was x-posted, so I didn't see your newer post Cali.
