5 out of 5 stars great game, however....   January 13, 2008
I ordered the 'special edition' but when it arrived it was just the regular 'greatest hits' edition. I still had to pay for the special edition though...

Other reviewers also had this problem...so it's not just me.

The game is great, but my advice is just buy the regular edition...the extra 30 minute video is about "the history of lowriding" and not about the game.

5 out of 5 stars A wonderful game   August 10, 2007
This game has it all, you can fly, swim, get stronger, fight like crazy, and have an amazing amount of freedom. Much like the other GTA games. They seem to get better and better with every game they make and more realistic as well. If you really don't like that much realism, then by all means look up the wide amount of cheats to this game and have fun they make the options very wide and to your playing style if you want to just screw around and run wild without following the game plot.

The controls are simple and easy to get used to after a short while and stay close to the other Playstation versions of the game and the story and side objectives will have you playing for days and even months without getting tired of it.

The Hot Coffee mod that everyone freaked out over made a huge movement, but what should've been considered is the word. "MOD" Meaning it wasn't intended to be part of the game and someone in their basement made it. So just don't download it if you don't want it. Luckily this only means the PC version. So just block the sites that have it if you really are over protective for your kids.



5 out of 5 stars Excellent!   July 8, 2007
Es un juego muy bueno, no para chicos ni jovenes, solo para adolecente. Es lo mas real ha estar en una pandilla, revive el antiheroe que ahi en ti.

Just buy this game, it's the same do anything formula, with an amazing storyline, addictive gameplay, and so many more features. Some idiot keeps mentioning it's like the sims. I never eat and I work our once per 20 hours (20 real life hours) and never lose anything. Better than vice city, 3x more radio and commercials (They're funny :P) 1.5x as many weapons and 4.5x vechicles (Like 10 ships, and 8 planes and 180 cars, 7 motorcycles, and stuff like 4x4, monstor truck, jak 3 type vehicles)
