    Wow! Is this release date accurate?
    Should I get it for the PC or the PS2.. (are they any different?)

    Hmm.. Choices, choices..

    Probably better on the PC, most games are.. more options.. easier to crack and cheat and get easter eggs and stuff plus you can usually get mods and extra levels etc..

    I have it on the PS2 and its good but once you beat it thats it!! Game over

    How much is it?
    Any idea on the min specs?
    Wuold be interested in getting it, if only to show my arrogant neighbour that my 2-yer old PC (a bit upgraded) can whip the arse off his PS2.

    I doubt your pc can play it then.

    Recommended System Requirements:


    700 mhz CPU
    128MB RAM
    32MB Direct3D Video Card
    Fully DirectX Compatible Sound Card
    8x CD-ROM
    500MB Free Hard Drive Space
    Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP
    DirectX 8.1

    Minimum System Requirements:


    Pentium III 450 CPU
    64MB RAM
    16MB Direct3D Video Card
    Fully DirectX Compatible Sound Card
    8x CD-ROM
    500MB Free Hard Drive Space
    Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP
    DirectX 8.1


    So if you want to get ps2 like graphics your probably looking at 1ghz+ and 64mb graphics card.

    I meant game-lastability wise.
    Would be nice to ahve a nicer controller too, specially for first-person.

    They'd want to have a nice Multi-player mode. Planning on bringing that biatch to LANs :)

    I've (like many other visitors to boards.ie) have used play.com on many occasions (maybe 20+) and have never had a problem with them...

    You'll find your question asked (and answered) on many of the other boards (e.g. TV/Video, Audio visual etc..)

    I have used Play.com 118 times.
    And i swear by them they are the cheapest around simply because of the Free Delivery
    Order on a sunday night you will have it by Friday
    They are in the Isle of Man.

    no multiplayer at all but it does have 2 nice control methods.

    1 is the same as the ps2 should work well enough with my gravis elimnator joy pad. and.....
    2 mouse and keyboard combo which would probabally be better but this remains to be seen.

    I has higher resilutuons that then the ps2, better replay 30 sec long now and they can be saved to the hard disk.

    all in all it will be better than the ps2 version but not much better its still the same game.

    Yeah they're VAT Exempt (New Jersey I think) which is why they can get away without charging delivery.

    LOL!
    Only the LC....sure you dont need that to work in SuperMacs!

    Bout time GtA 3 made it's apperance. I've been waiting for months since I first heard about it was coming out.
    Course it went to the PS2 first....

    *hmmm*....wonder if my PC can handle it...

    P4
    256Ram
    Plenty o H/D space
    64 MB G2
    piss poor onboard sound.....hope to get the Audigy soon tho!

    It's bound to look much better than the PS2 version same game or not given the PC specs.

    Doubt it will look as good as the ps2 version.
    Me, I'll be setting graphics details low and amount ofmcars/peds on screen at the time and draw distance up.
    Game play over graphics :P

    118 times, and you've never noticed that they're based in Jersey, not the Isle of Man?
