Product Description
Product description
Featuring three Grand Theft Auto titles, including Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City and San Andreas. Beginning with Grand Theft Auto III, you've been betrayed and left for dead. Now you are taking revenge, unless the city gets you first. Mob bosses need a favor, crooked cops need help and street gangs want you dead. You will have to rob, steal and kill just to stay out of serious trouble. In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, you take to the streets and underground crime of the '80s. The location is Vice City and the vibe is glamour, power and corruption. Like Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City offers an in-depth storyline and a go-anywhere style of game play. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas features a new city, fresh cars and even more territory to explore. You take on the role of Carl Johnson, a man who managed to escape the rough life in Los Santos, San Andreas, and a city torn apart by corruption, drugs and gang warfare. Five years ago, you escaped the burdens of life in the city for greener pastures. After learning of a family tragedy, however, you must return to a world you thought you had left behind forever.

Welcome to Vice City. Welcome to the 1980s…Having just made it back onto the streets of Liberty City after a long stretch in maximum security, Tommy Vercetti is sent to Vice City by his old boss, Sonny Forelli. They were understandably nervous about his reappearance in Liberty City, so a trip down south seemed like a good idea. But all does not go smoothly upon his arrival in the glamorous, hedonistic metropolis of Vice City. He's set up and is left with no money and no merchandise. Sonny wants his money back, but the biker gangs, Cuban gangsters, and corrupt politicians stand in his way. Most of Vice City seems to want Tommy dead. His only answer is to fight back and take over the city himself. But all work and no play does indeed make Tommy a dull boy. Thankfully, for the action man, or outdoors type, there's tons of fun things to do and adventures to be had in the aptly named Vice City... guaranteed. And for the secretive or creepy type, it is a place full of surprises, a place where you'll constantly be surprised by the vivacious, fun-loving types who live there and the things you can discover.
Originally released for PlayStation 2 in 2002 and ported over to the PC a year later, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is chock full of 1980s American culture references, as well as a continuation of the sandbox style action adventure gameplay that is the hallmark of the GTA series. It is also one of the top selling games of all-time on the PS2 platform.

- At any given time players can watch a replay of the last 30 seconds of the game and mail your unbelievable gameplay sequences to friends to watch.

GTA III, being the oldest title, has some hardware support issues that I expect I will not run in to with the more modern Vice City and San Andreas games.
GTA III is so old, it supports 3DFX! Direct3D is an option, and does work, but selecting anything other than 640x480x16 causes the game to crash. I would have expected a re-release to be updated to support modern hardware, or what's the point? I don't just happen to have a Pentium II with a Voodoo card laying around....
GTA III runs great, with a few annoying glitches. I run XPSP3 with multi-mon. The game maximizes the window in 640x480x16 without trapping the mouse. Clicking anywhere outside the window causes the program to crash.... therefore, I have to temporarily disable my secondary monitor (Desktop properties, advanced, right-click, de-select "Attached") and then re-enable it later. I usually watch a movie on my secondary, so this is quite annoying. In addition, ALT+TAB, CTRL+ESC or anything that brings up the desktop causes the program to crash. If you have any kind of pop-up that will pre-empt the game, disable it, or you might blow an entire mission due to some innocuous desktop pop-up. Remember: You can't save while in a mission, and you can only save at your "safe house" locations. So I find myself saving OFTEN.
The plus side is that I'll actually beat the game faster, because the load times are so much better than the PS2, with game and save data pulling from the hard drive, which is much better.
I have not played Vice City or San Andreas yet, but I expect that they will play "normally" without the caveats mentioned above.
I wouldn't mind seeing a LC Stories / VC Stories / Chinatown wars pack.
I'm still not tired of it and I thought how could anyone top this?
I found this trilogy package on Amazon for a very good price and looked forward to trying out GTA-San Andreas.
If you've spent some time around Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Las Vegas, you'll see some familiar places with different names around the state of San Andreas (like Amoeba Records is Blob Records but same type of logo).
Rockstar Games created a gigantic world for San Andreas and once I overcame my glassy awestruck gaze and lifted my jaw back to its full upright position, I've put in tons of time into it and since the playable character Carl Johnson can swim, I've covered about 80% of the land masses before I can open road access to them through missions somewhere down the line, danced in clubs, gambled in casinos, modified some vehicles into hydraulic-bouncing lowriders, played basketball, worked out in gyms and learned some new fighting moves, found a few girlfriends, bought new clothes, and I'm still at only 15% of the game, according to my stats.
Since this game is so h-u-g-e, it might be wise to back up your game files, and clear your calendar for a few months.
*** UPDATE 05/06/2010 ***
The game worked fine on windows 7 for me. I don't understand what Micheal Wang is saying everything worked fine on 7 (which is even newer then vista). There were no issues and you can buy it with confidence even if you have a new machine.
So I thought I would then try San Andreas and while the graphics and physics were a huge improvement from GTA 3, it still didn't hold a candle to my experiences with GTA 4 and Saints Row 2.
My suggestion would be if you've never played a GTA game, probably START with the GTA trilogy and you will be amazed and very happy and then when you move on to GTA 4 your mind will be really blown away. If you do it the other way like I did, you may end up dissapointed by going backwards.
