Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
This pack contains both Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

Ever fancied being a tooled-up hoodlum, living on the wrong side of the law and mixing it up with street gangs in a war over turf, drugs and cold, hard cash? Welcome to Grand Theft Auto III. Big brother of previous outings on the PSone and PC, GTA III has gone fully 3-D to bring Liberty City to life. Any worries about graphics speed on the PS2 are quickly dispelled the first time you carjack a taxi and take off like a lunatic, mowing down the innocent and incurring the wrath of the law.

It has to be said that GTA III fully warrants its 18 certificate, dealing as it does with mob warfare, indiscriminate murder, auto crime, prostitution and more. The language gets a little "fruity" from time to time and you can't help but wince as you watch innocents get in the way of a good firefight. At the end of the day, though, this is a game and nothing more; thankfully, it's a good game, a very, very good game. --Chris Russell

There can't be a more sure-fire hit in the gaming world than Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Not quite a full-blown sequel, but far more than the average lazy mission disk, it relocates the action of the previous game from the NYC-styled Liberty City to the Miami-influenced metropolis of the title. As the game starts you take control of Tommy Vercetti (voiced by Goodfellas star Ray Liotta) who gets involved in a bungled drug deal and must set himself up from scratch as a crime boss. Unlike GTA III, you're not restricted to being a small-time hood any more; the game now allows you to purchase property (porn studios, strip clubs, cab companies and so on) and run extortion rackets. This cleverly widens the scope of the game while keeping the controls and gameplay pretty much the same. Indeed, in most respects the game is very similar to its predecessor--the graphics, for example, are improved but hardly ground-breaking--though there are numerous minor additions, most notably the chance to ride motorbikes--which is particularly satisfying--and fly proper aircraft. --Harrison Wilder

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Classic Gaming
The Grand Theft Auto series seems to be something everyones played. And it would seem now that many gamers are still playing this classics, that have 'thankfully' been brought over to the xbox. Apart some smoother graphics, and quicker load times, the game keeps what made it so special - a whole world for you to explore. And its yours!
Yep, you don't even have to do the missions to enjoy GTA. Afterall, how many gamers can say they've never been with mates, and made up their own challenges? Whether it be.. "Who can make it across 'that' bridge on GTA 3" or "Who can shoot down the most police helicopters". The game just seems to go on, and you rarely get tired.
GTA III feels and looks alot more darker than Vice City, with it being ... Read More:

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Grand Theft Auto : Vice City & Grand Theft Auto III
GTA III

"You've been betrayed and left for dead. Now you're taking revenge, unless the city gets you first. Mob bosses need a favour, crooked cops need help and street gangs want you dead. You'll have to rob, steal and kill just to stay out of serious trouble."
"Anything can happen out there."

This is one of the two brilliant games in this double pack, and is set, of course, in New York. You have a mass load of freedom and can kill anyone in the street; therefore this game is an 18. But obviously this game isn't about killing random people with a variety of weapons; you can hijack mostly any car and go about for a drive.
This is the game engine was the first to convert GTA into 3D and was so ... Read More:



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Fine games but a disappointing conversion.
I bought this pack to replace my PS2 versions of the games which become scratched over time and I was expecting them to be superior to the original PS2 versions. However, the Xbox's controller is just not set up to handle these games as well as the dualshock does - the trigger can't seem to handle steady accelerations well and the drive by system is a mess. The graphics are clearer but suffer from reduced frame rates in Vice City, especially when flying a helicopter low over water, and the lighting seems grainier than the PS2 version. I've also had trouble with the custom music freezing and stopping any radio station from playing, which is a moot point as I'd rather turn the music volume off and play the songs on my PC anyway.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 1 in my 5 top games
this game is one of the greatest ever made it has opened a new world of gaming where you don't need to do missions if u dont want to rules do not apply to anything you do, this is about what no other game has done before but what they are now going to do. this is all about freedom and that is one of the main reasons i love this game (apart from the cars, killing, extremely funny, guns, helicopters, planes and of coure lets not forget the all famous JAINSAW)
