There certainly are a lot of people viewing this thread. I'm downloading it now, going to flash it in a few minutes and see if it's actually any good

I just flashed it and played some of it, I can see it's actually very nice, this is a game that I'll have on my flashcart for a long time. If you wanted the original gta on the gba with a gta 3 type of feel you've got it. From the screenshots you can't see the 3d graphics but this game is actually pretty impressive graphics wise. The framerate isn't the best in the world but it certainly is playable. Play it for yourself and decide.
Was there ever any doubt? Once I learned that Rockstar was overseeing its developement, and that their goal was to recreate the greatness of 1 and 2 (which were better then the new ones simply because they broke new ground before all the kiddies figured out about it) I knew we were all in for a treat.

Just downloaded it and flashed it to my cart, played it for a few minutes (low battery), and I think the gameplay so far has been nice.

Bah, I'm not liking the framerate. I was batting some cops and it was slow as hell. Or maybe it was slow because I kept accidentally jumping over the car. While I was batting them Vinnie talked to me and I died >.>;

Just downloaded this game from another place, seeming as though mIRC ops decided to ban my IP address.
Played it for 5 minutes, and I LOVE it!!!!!!
There were 3 people on the screen, I punched 1, that guy did a swing punch but I ran outa they way in time, however, he hit another guy and he started chasing him, while the guy I hit was still chasing me. :gbasp:

You can flip cars (was very surprised there), the sub-mission (taxi,vigilante) are all in, the explosions and smoke effects ROCK, the gunfights are fairly easy to control, the cops are hard when you get 3+ stars (try busting through some of those roadblocks, they stop you dead in your tracks then they swarm you)

Each car has its own music track, some probably share the same but I cant tell, the music is nothing special but then again I wasnt expecting anything but got something at least. The camera movement can get annoying in some areas but you get used to it.

The framerate is pretty bad sometimes, but it does not ruin the game, it just shows the GBA's limitations. When you got 5 cop cars and 10 cops running after you all firing it can slow down pretty bad, but its still hectic and even a little helpfull because in all that chaos you need it to go a little slower.

The gameplay itself feels exactly like the old PC games, with the new features of the PS2 ones thrown in for extra measure, so far I've done about 10 missions and have like $20000, to give you an idea of how long I played, its addictive and fun, I like what they have done here.

The biggest downfall so far? I'm 15% complete according to the game stats, and I've only been playing about 45 minutes.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
