Really? I know my way around in Vice City better because it's smaller, but overall I enjoy SA better. I love just cruising to random places.
That's probably the only complaint. If Vice City were bigger, it would be no contest. I dunno, the whole '70's Miami feel was cool.

And either way, the late seventies and all of the eighties sucked on all levels: trends, music, fashion, technology, and just the overall culture. San Andreas > Vice City --- GTA: London should be the best though.
<div class="quote_poster">hustler Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">The new Scarface game>GTA.</div> I've heard that game sucked. Most critics say that it plays too much like GTA.
From my understanding, Scarface is ungodly repetitive and gets old pretty quickly. GTA, while it eventually got repetitive, it took a while, especially in San Andreas. And that wasn't necessarily cause of mission variance, though there was a pretty good amount of it, but it was simply cause of the sheer size of the landscape. In SA, you were always finding something new to do, somewhere new to go. Scarface doesn't have that, since it's only what, probaby about a third the size? Scarface doesn't interest me anyways. I don't think it looks that great. Beyond that, I have Bully and Splinter Cell: Double Agent to play, and come Tuesday, the game I've been waiting for all year, Guitar Hero 2.
I thought it was weak in gameplay, but great in presentation. Rockstar did a great job emphasizing the youth aspect of the game where you take on the role of Jimmy. There isn't any killing, which is a refreshing approach to this type of free world game. Problem that kills this game? You do too many senseless "jobs" for NPCs that although progesses the storyline it doesn't make up for the fact that this game still plays out similar to Rockstar's past efforts. Someone still betrays you, as usual. You can basically expect the next thing to happen just around the corner. The interaction with people in the school and around town is extremely poor. Just a hello and how are you or pay someone to help you out with something. The graphics have definitely improved though. No longer as with past Rockstar free world games do the characters have eagle talons for hands. The mouth movements look fairly realistic and the characters all move very nicely and smooth. There's some nice humor to the game too, such as the catch joke about farm animals which I found hilarious. The classes are stupid, although you earn nice pick ups the stuff you actually have to do in each one are childish mini-game challenges. Such as the Shop class or the most pathetic being Art. All-in-all this game is a good rental, then once you beat it and have some fun it has no life afterward. That's why the game is already priced below 20 bucks at some places. Despite the aspect this game brings it still feels like GTA to me. 6/10 overall from me.
