[quote name='lordwow']I agree, to me, VC was the most visually appealing (and had the best soundtrack). It was a great step up from III, and SA didn't add that much more ontop of it (other than the gangs and a bigger map).
I only played through about 1/3 of SA, but nearly 100%ed VC. So much fun.[/quote]
Yes. when I got my PS2, Vice City was new, so I got that instead of GTAIII. when I got III, I was shocked to see Tommy didn't even talk, and it was way too dark all the time. didn't like it at all. And, like you, I nearly 100%ed Vice City, and I was hyped as hell for San Andreas. Went out to GS/EB night before launch to get mine, waited in a huge-ass line, got it, came home, and two days later tossed that shit aside. Never even got into the second city, still haven't. Just don't like it.
Vice City is the shit. I actually bought the soundtrack. Some of those radio station commercials are hilarious.
