Well I've never seen Carlito's way so that's why i didn't make the connection. Ah well...

Still playing, still loving it...still will be this time next week as well (a rarity in gaming these days!)

Speaking of movie connections... where is the bloody bathroom in Ocean Beach? (a "Scarface" reference, ofcourse). I've also heard of an arm in the window of a butcher shop in Little Havana =)

Well I'll be jiggered! If it isn't Doc Avalanche! How's it goin' Jeff!

Heh!

Not sure why the renderware engine seems to get a regular panning on here. As well as the GTAs, burnouts etc...airblade was developed using it (and that was amazing-looking even if the game sucked sun-dried tomatoes out of a chaste monk's bottom!)

So, anyone figured out how to set the longest 2-wheel records? I can do stoppie - 10 seconds with a scooter, Wheelie - 298 seconds with a Sanchez and I was bored after that so I stopped.

Also, PJ, any reason you need to sign each comment with a sig and some extra returns causing us all to move that mousewheel one more revolution to see the next comment?

st3ph3n,

How do you get rated on your wheelie performance, I've being pulling wheelies all day and I have yet to get a rating in it. And I *am* pulling wheelies.

Sam,

You're best doing it on a sanchez or a PCJ. The trick with the sanchez is - from a standing start whilst holding back press the accel till the bikes at a nice 45 degree angle. Then let off the gas and just feather it till you get it to a point where it's perfectly balanced with no power applied. You can drive along whilst holding back for maybe 20 seconds without using the accel. Then when it feels like it's slowing down enough to drop just feather the throttle a bit again till you get some more speed up. I did this round downtown for 298 seconds round all the corners and streets etc. before I got bored.

You always need to hold backwards and feather the throttle, not feather backwards and nail the throttle.

And bob is your uncle as they say.

Yep - gotta keep your digits exercised in at least one other way than the nation's favourite hand-involving sport...!

Offence that should be punishable by death : Colleagues at work (who have nothing better to do than play this game) coming in and ruining huge chunks of it for me by telling me how THEY did such-and-such a mission...that I haven't even gotten to yet (I only get to play for an hour here and there at a time - demanding missus!)

Could I care less!?!?!!

Well, have had GTA3 for my PC for a while now, and Vice City is scheduled to come out for the PC on May 13th here in the states. Can't you get it at the same time? It doesn't need to be localised for the PC, does it?

Anyway, if you don't have a PS2, just go get the PC version and play it for three months - then you can get Vice City - no PS2 needed.

Plus it looks and plays better on the PC! Quick (or no) loads. Removed arbitrary roadblocks. Better graphics (on a good machine). Can use your own soundtracks. The list seems to go on and on...

Hi Omid,

Sorry to break this to you, but GTA4 hasn't been released yet!

We'd prefer it if you bought our software rather than play a pirate version anyway, you skank. That way we can afford to develop GTA4 with all it's cool new features. What cool new features I hear you say? Well you'll just have to wait, all I can say for now is 'Neptune'...

Jiro,

'Neptune' isn't the only clue we are actively leaking now, the terms 'Lots of Hover Bikes' and 'Lifelike futuristic weaponary' have now been added to the viral marketing list.
