Which Pill Would You Like To Take?

To be or not to be – in this case, to buy or not to buy. If you were thinking over this problem, and are reading this post right now, you are doing the right thing.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice city, developed by Rockstar Games, is the forth and the best episode of the whole series Grand Theft Auto. First, it had a tremendous success appealing to the avid gamers on PS2 and Xbox, by launching the console version. Then, they had added some more magic to their pot, which ended up as ‘THE BOMB’, the PC version of the game.

You might wonder why I emphasize the fact that the PC version is better than the console version, and I completely understand. I own a few games that came out in both Playstation2 and PC, and they were exactly, or almost the same. It was just the hardware difference. But Grand Theft Auto, not only the developers had modified the controls and commands for the game, they had added more ‘fun elements’, meaning that players have access to more entertainment. Such as vehicles, which is the most common thing you encounter in this game (since this game’s called the Grand Theft ‘AUTO’).

As I am a person who had played both the PC and the console version, I’d like to point this one example out, just to make it clear for you.
Now, now that you have the ‘pill’s ready for you, let’s look at the ‘prescriptions’ shall we?

Pros

- AMAZING variety of action. You can do whatever you want to do. Drive a car, fight with people, buy clothes, change cars. EVERYTHING!

- 3 in 1. Just with one game, you can enjoy 3 genres of game. Driving, 3rd person shooting (TPS), and RPG. It never gets you bored.

- Improvements in the variety of the vehicles. All 3 land, water and sky is available for you to explore, and for the most part, assault.

- Storyline became as firm as ever. It’s long, and thrilling; it makes you feel like you’re watching a full 007 movie (only that you’re on the gangster side). If you’re bored bumping into things, there’s always the story mode, or mission to catch up on.

- Soundtracks. GTA Vice City has managed to get over 2000 licenses on music, so that you can listen to your favorite tunes while you drive a car. Some people even say that this game’s price is nothing even if it was for the soundtracks.

Cons

- Nice attempt to add some realistic aspects to the game, but this time it hit its back. Since it’s a free-flow game, saving data is vital – if you clear the entire game and quit without saving, it will leave nothing, meaning that you will have to start all over again. Now, is saving easy? The answer is no. I guess the game makers thought ‘it will be fun to put the checkpoints at places where you sleep right? Just like the reality.” No guys. I hope you can save the progress in the ‘esc’ or ‘menu’ next time.

- Cops get on your tail way too easily. One time, I was going to the clothes shop, to get a new look, and then I just accidentally crashed into this young dude on a bike. I automatically got a police star, and a whole bunch of cops started to chase me. Then I get busted (since the cops are usually faster than you), which lands me in front of the police station, a.k.a the other side of town. It really drove me nuts.

There. Just like any other games, GTA Vice City has both pros and cons. It’s just that I consider it a phenomenal and extraordinary game. It’s way too addicting, and it deserves its fame as a GTA series game. Now that you have the pill and the prescriptions in front of you, go ahead and take the pill you want.

TWO (OR THREE IF I HAD) THUMBS UP. BURNING HOT
