Dave Veteran Posted November 25, 2003 Veteran Share Posted November 25, 2003 I'm just looking for some honest opinions about the game, does it live up to the hype? I ask because I recently picked up Manhunter. Rockstar really dropped that ball, all style and grit, no real game. So needless to say right now I'm wary of games that are intentionally stylish. I like the idea of being able to travel thru an accurate reproduction of LA, but is this just over sold and not really delievered on? How does this game honestly stack up against GTA? If you had the choice would you buy it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyD Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 I played it for a moment. It may look like GTA but it certainly feels different. I can't decide whether I like it or not but it definitely didn't catch a firm grip on me when I played it the other day. I say rent it first.

MxxCon Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 from the short clips i saw on tv it looks kind alike an advanced version of gta3/vc..since you can do fancier driving/shooting/fighting. beyond that i have no idea :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyD Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 What I did like was the bullet time affect when you're driving making it easier to shoot out tires and people through the windows. Also, the in-game screens that I've seen of the game seemed a heck of a lot better than the GTA series. After playing it though, I think I prefer GTA's look.

BroChaos Veteran Posted November 25, 2003 Veteran Share Posted November 25, 2003 i prefer the look of gta too...haven't played much to TC yet, but it seems just decent at first. nothing really amazing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thankins Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 I rented the game for 2 weeks and played it a lot, it is allright game, nothing to great, reminds me of a cross between Dead to Rights and GTA. I dont think you should buy it, I am sure you could beat the whole game within one week if you played it a lot. Plus after a while the crimes that are commited in the game get repeatitive (sp?) and it gets a little old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Trode Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 I bought the game and played it for a bit. If you are playing the PS2 version there are some definite glitches. I was chasing a car only to have it drive through a wall like it didn't exist. The gameplay gets boring...and honestly I think the game could have used a few months more time in dev.

Parasite Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 The game is decent but it's way too easy and short. I finished it in about ~4 days of casually playing it ,100%. Compared to GTA 3/vc, This feel's like a Bugged version of it (especially driving wise). The fighting and shooting is pretty good thought. I woulden't well consider this a game worth to buy, unless it's at a cheap price. my review Pro's Cut scene's. Fighting/Guns is good. Loading times Earn weapon/fighting upgrades and cars. Con's Storyline. Driving Music (about 95% rap/hiphop) Gameplay. Corney Wise cracks. Too easy. 6/10. Once it's done it's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adem Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 its a brilliant game, but towards the end it gets REALLY STUPID by introducing Demons into it ... so other than that its a ****in ace game -- rating = 9 and three-quaters / 10 :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honoriak Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 i also saw the ad on tv.. looks good.. but can't decide.. i don't even have a ps2 :rofl: /me wonders if they'll ever make a pc version of the game.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stezo2k Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 pretty good game, i am enjoying it better or the same as i have enjoyed GTA3/VC, if you like GTA games, this is a must have, it is a bit easy i agree, but it makes up for it in other ways, i found it more realistic than GTA 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizkit Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 That sucks, cause the previews made the game seem really cool. I'm sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramitman_87 Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 I love the game except for the part where u have to fight these crazy fire demons. It kills the game but otherwise it is great. I enjoyed GTA3 and Vice City much more. glad to help :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x2cube Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 The game is REALLY fun... LA is HUGE!!! It's so much bigger than any GTA games... it's really detailed and the scenery is cool... it takes a really long time to even cross the whole city, but in GTA: VC you can cross the whole place fairly quickly. Large selection of cars you can kill people for.... Only thing I didn't like was that you couldn't drive motorcycles and that demons started showing up... I thought it was supposed to be realistic and the demons are just ghey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sn00pY Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 the whole disappearing china man and re-appearing deamons is c omplete kick in the dick for this game... the game was cool untill i played it for ~2 days with a friend and we had basically completed it...missions get very repetative...Fighting is cool though..."Bullet-Timed Aim" is sweet as hell :) i liked that...But seriously dude...dont BUY this game you could EASILY complete it by renting it...go buy something else... like WRCIII or something i dunno...whatever your genre of gameplay - dont buy this :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistical Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 I had heard so-so reviews, like it wasn't that great, and I was just gonna say well maybe I will like it, and go and buy it, thank god I havn't bought it yet, I guess I'll just go ahead and rent it like I wanted to in the first place, heh.
