You'll be laughing with delirious glee the minute you lay down 50 bucks and walk out of the store with two of the best console games ever made. Sure, they're older. Sure, they already came out on the PS2 and the PC. Some people prefer GTA III; others (like me) think Vice City is the better game. But what do you care? You get both!
GTA sells on the back of violence and lives through the unequalled freedom on offer. These are classic games for the best reason there is - they are just fantastic, almost unlimited fun. The Xbox versions are no great leap over the originals but who cares? Brilliant stuff. [Xbox Gamer]
Grand Theft Auto Double Pack includes the first two iconic 3D Third Person games of this series, GTA III and GTA Vice City. And the Xbox versions of them are simply the best ones! Better graphics and effects, controls are perfect and the sound is incomparably good. The storylines of both games is terrific, even with today´s standards! A superb package, which includes dozens of entertaining hours. A must have!
The best enhancement for high-end gamers, though, is progressive-scan support. If you've got an HDTV-compatible set, make sure your Xbox has 480p widescreen mode on -- in this mode, the Xbox ports are without the doubt the prettiest GTA experience you'll get on a console.
Whether you've played them or not, the pair of masterpieces contained in the Grand Theft Auto Double Pack are too good to pass up, especially when it's a two-for-one deal. [Holiday 2003, p.97]
Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto Vice City are masterpieces. GTA3 is a open world game set in Liberty City during modren times. The main story is great and the side missions and activities are also great. GTA Vice City is a open world game set in Vice City during the 80s. The main story is great and the side missions are really good.
What's not to love with having two of the best Grand Theft Auto games on the Xbox?
Both games play exactly the same as the PlayStation 2 versions but have improved graphics in terms of character models, textures, reflections, better audio and a custom soundtrack.
There are some things that have been added to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and some things that have been altered.
-They fixed the control and handling problems with the RC plane, helicopter and the boats in Vice City.
-A new menu selection called tutorial and unlocked items has been added to Vice City.
-It feels like that the difficulty for Vice City was toned down as well.
-The song "Running With The Night" by Lionel Richie was removed from Vice City's soundtrack.
-Many bugs are fixed.
Overall they're more polished than the Playstation 2 versions. A must own.
Grand Theft Auto Double Pack includes Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, which are a couple of the greatest sandbox games ever. Grand Theft Auto III absolutely stunned gamers with its free roam and not so linear gameplay. The missions are great with lots of action, the story is good, and the characters are also pretty good. The graphics were decent for 2001 but now they are obviously dated. This game revolutionized the gaming industry by creating a whole new genre and everyone should try it out. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is such an amazing game, and I personally believe it's a big improvement from the previous title. The biggest aspect I love most about this game is the setting; it's in a 1980s, Miami-like atmosphere, so it's pleasing to see all the bright colours from club lights and the beach front strip and also seeing the cooler sports and super cars, which Grand Theft Auto III didn't have. All of the characters are amazing and unique, the story is amazing, and the missions are amazing, everything is amazing. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is such an incredible game that everyone has to play.
This is review of GTA VC because that was the one I completed the other one I could not get myself to play , What can I say about GTA VC it was my favourite game when I played it as a child , And now I played I still love it but you really feel the age by now ,
But it's still fun I played it on an Xbox 360 so I don't know if the problems with the game was because of backwards compatibility,
is it just played really poor original on the Xbox Does not have a stable frame rate but it's really fun games ,
The story is also very good I'm third all the way through and feels sorry about Lane Danes , if you are that kind of weird that enjoy playing old games Then I would wholeheartedly recommend GTA Vice City
