Grand Theft Auto Double Pack

"Great games but lots of glitches"

I will review this game by Gameplay, Graphics, Game Value, Sounds, Controls, and the cars in the game. Also, I'll review each game by itself.
Gameplay: 10/10
GTA:Vice city: The game play is infinite. You can be a taxi driver, a pizza delivery guy, a police officer and even more. In vice city you can roam around 2 big islands but one island isn't open to you until you beat some main story line missions. You can drive from a truck to a motorcycle and do jumps. The freedom in this game is what made this game so popular. You can buy weapons and just go on a killing spree or be a good civilian and help the police by hitting the run aways and get a good civ. award. Basically, you can fly, walk, drive, and drive a boat in this game. Also you can go in buildings and buy your own companys/houses etc... So much freedom! There is still a big glitch in this game. The silent ped. glitch. You might get it, its where 10 minutes in the game, all the civilian stop talking.
GTA 3:8/10
The gameplay in this game is like vice city but with many cut offs. You cant get motorcycles, go in buildings and a lot of other stuff in Vice city. But this game still is fun. The missions are more gangster related in this game. This games more mafia type of game then vice city. Personally, i play GTA Vice city (i will now call it GTA:VC) more then GTA 3.
Graphics 9/10
These graphics are not the best but there superb compared to the PS2 version. The engine actually shows detail (like the cheatah engine, you can tell its a V-12 engine) not like just a big black square with gray lines in it. Some cars even have reflections on them! Some downfalls is that this game doesn't match the Xbox standards in graphics but what can I say, these games are HUGE! The characters actually have there hands each separately controlled too.
Game Value 10/10
This game pack has one of the best game values in history. Two games that you would be playing for hours, for only 50$! What a steal. Like i said, the freedom. You can just cause chaos in Vice city and in Liberty bay.
Sounds 11/10
Wow, the sounds in the game are so good that i gave it 1 extra point. The radio stations have some pretty good songs. GTA 3 has some no named songs while GTA VC has some oldie songs. There all good though. You can even put your own custom sound track on there. That features really cool, while your listening to Ludicris act a fool while drag racing. Listening to the pedestrians is funny. They say some funny stuff even when you have a gun pointed to them. The cops are funny too!
Controls 7/10
This is the only downfall of this game. There's two controls, standard(a nightmare) and classic(OK, but still some downfalls) The controls kind of make you want to throw your controller on the ground. When your in the car and you try to do a drive by, you have to get your hands off the turning wheel, and go down to the d pad and look that direction and shoot. Also, when your trying to change weapons, you have to take off your hand the analog stick and switch weapons while your sitting there getting shot. But you can get use to this.
Vehicles in this game 10/10
You can choose from a helicopter to a boat in this game. So much freedom to do with them. There's a unstoppable helicopter in this game that's called a hunter. It has missiles and a machine gun in it and trust me, its fun doing mayhem in it! The cars look good and arrange from low class to rich class. They even have a racing car!
Overall: 9/10
Since there's many glitches in this game, i had to take off a point. Some missions are so boring and hard that it makes you want to quit this game, but overall, this game pack is good from beginning to end!
