Grand Theft Auto Double Pack

"The 2 best action-adventure games in one pack!"

Grand Theft Auto 3 was supposed to be out on the Xbox a long time ago but then it got cancelled and a lot of people got mad... so a year later Rockstar gives out both GTA3 and GTA:VC for the price of one! There's no deal better out right now!

Gameplay: Both of the games have the same controls and they're great, the only problem I have is with the camera when your walking. The camera is pretty hard to use if you want to look behind you while your on foot or if your running around a corner you can't really tell what's on the other side of the corner so you have to wait for the camera to catch up. Both games have a lot of gameplay in them, you'll be playing these games for a long time. To get 100% in just one of the game will take you months and months. You get more vehicles in Vice City than in GTA3 but there's plenty already in GTA3 so you don't have to worry bout GTA3 lacking vehicles. Loading times have also been sped by a little. 9.7/10

Graphics: GTA:VC city looks a little better than GTA3 because you get more shininess on the cars and windows. They both have a different type of feel in them. GTA3 looks more ghetto and Vice City looks a lot more rich because of all the cool cars and great scenery. I would have liked Rockstar to have made GTA3's graphics a little more updated but I could live with having a little bit of blockiness. 9/10

Sound: The sounds in these games are awesome. You get a lot of different radio stations to choose from. GTA3's radio stations are more enjoyable to me mainly because it's funny listening to what they say in the Talk Show station. You can also use your custom soundtracks in these game which is a great bonus. 10/10

Replay Value: It'll take a long time to finish both of these games. After beating the game there isn't much to do but you could always see how much havoc you could wreck. Although there's not much to do after you beat the game, it's going to take a long time to beat the game so I wouldn't be too worried about this part of the game. 8/10

Buy/Rent: I'd say buy if you don't own GTA3/GTA:VC on any other system. This is by far the best version but if you already own both games there's no point of buying it again. This is a definet pick-up for anyone who has never owned GTA3/GTA:VC. Buy
