IG-64 Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 IGN seems to be slipping, either that or this really is the best PS2 game ever. I'd have to judge for myself >.> *slips off to blockbuster* XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kain Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 GTA is better on XBox. Custom music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mex Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 If they had not of been bribed, I'm sure it would of gotten lower. Edit : Look at the hands of the characters! They're solid blocks like in Vice City! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toms Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Originally posted by Lightsaberboy it's more better on PC no it aint. They upped the polly counts and added new effects for the xbox version. It is a definate improvement over both the ps2 & pc versions... not to mention that the coding of the PC port was VERY sloppy. I guess if you had a monster PC it was ok (and it will probably run fine today) but you'd still get better graphics on the xbox. off to read review.... (though i'm currently playing GTA3 and have Vice City waiting once i finish, so i don't need it just yet and can wait for the xbox version...)

Anyway i like the thing that if you dont move your character will get fat and all that things that give the game a little of rpg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is, GTA: San Andreas is better on PC, customizable resolution, modify it, Xbox suks because it copies all the other system games(only Halo is Xboxs trademark) and MIcrosoft wanted to join the fun and try to make lots of money and what not:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfnshannon Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 is it as glitchy as VC because I can not pass one level very early in the game because of the way the it is. I swear...if someone passed it they were damn lucky... So basically....gun control and the ability to effectively control the weapon without it sucking from jerkyness.. and no....its not me without the steady hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, you may be in a lower resolution than the PC version, but the graphics are much better (new lighting effects, high polygon models, etc..), the framerate is smoother and the car controls are better. I will admit that the on foot controls are better on the PC though, but this isn't really a huge factor. As for GTS:SA, who knows what will be the best version.... probably the one that gets released last. PS/ I have a 2nd hand modded xbox that i use mainly as a video/audio jukebox... so microsoft isn't making anything off me. So you don't have to go off on another anti-ms, anti x-box rant... ---------------- As for the game, it seems most people love it, but a few hate the fact they are forced to go through the RPG missions to unlock all the content, as they really just want to roam around freely and have fun.

swphreak Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 I like the Double Pack for XBox than the PS2 version. Graphics somewhat better, and polished. And EBGames have still not shipped my game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiE23 Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 I saw the Double Pack at Target for $25. And saw the strategy guide for Andreas, ITS LIKE 300 PAGES LONG! Its as big as the big Morrowind S-guide TiE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acrylic Posted October 28, 2004 Author Share Posted October 28, 2004 Well, I had the Xbox DP, but sold it. It's at Gamestop for $20, and I got it today, it was tempting. I didnt finish either game yet, so I figure I wanted em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfnshannon Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 I rented it today, probably won't play it till I get off work.... Tell ya how it is once I play it.
