Grand Theft Auto Double Pack

"2 in 1"

Intro

Alright, so get this. You go to the shop to buy a GTA game but instead you see GTA 3 and Vice City in the one pack. Better yet, you pay for it the same price as if you were buying one game. 2 for the price of 1. Can't get better than that! Now let's see WHY you should get the game.

Characters and Story

In Grand Theft Auto Double Pack, there are a lot of characters and I mean a lot. I'm talking about around 60. You have 4 big cities to drive around: 3 in GTA, 1 in VC. The buildings are amazing and huge, yet there are some which aren't accessible (well, not without some hints). But these cities aren't empty for you have over a million pedestrians and vehicles. Yeah, some of the pedestrians may look the same but there are around 30 different models. But the cars, you may have a field day trying to catch every single type of car. Some cars are rare, some aren't.

It's a bit hard to keep track of the story because you will be doing the side-missions for so long that you may lose track of the story and what you're supposed to be doing. But that's ok because you won't be the first. In GTA: III, you play as an unnamed, untalkative character who just got betrayed, shot and left for dead by his girlfriend, Catalina during a bank robbery. So basically, he's going to try and get revenge.

In GTA: VC, you play as Tommy Vercetti and you must watch over a drug deal. But that goes crazy as bullets go flying and soon you have to work to get money to pay back the Forellies. You meet characters like Lance Vance, Diaz, Mercedes and her father, Umberto and more.

Misc.

I mentioned side-quests before. Well that ranges from normal driving missions to helping out your bosses to doing rampages and much more. Besides, if you don't want to do side missions (which is hard to believe) then you can collect packages and every 10 you get, you get a free weapon at your hideout. Once you get the weapon you can just go crazy in the city just shooting pedestrians. But watch out, every city has cops and these cops aren't to be messed with....well only a little. You see you have 6 stars and if you do anything bad one star will be highlighted. That means you have cops on your tail. But one star isn't bad for it's a cop on foot chasing you. Just grab a car and speed away. 2 stars and these cops start chasing you in their own cars. 3 stars and you got a chopper on you and so on. You can get the Swat team onto you and even the army. If that happens, it's ouch time!

Buy or Rent

Well if you see any GTA game, then buy. If you see this BUY BUY BUY! Don't rent, GTA games are to good to own for just a week.
