I've played GTA3... I was unimpressed. The people all looked like Gumby, framerates werent that good, and everything looked and played bad. Mafia was a far better game. [addsig]

When did you play it? If you played it 2 years ago it was outstanding. But I agree mafia was better because it portrayed more crime senarios than GTA3 did, which is what I liked.
But for those of you arguing that the game was bad, then you obiviously havent played it long, once you get started you realise that you can literaly do anything (in vice city) and thats what made the game great, I mean How many times does muging a hocker get? Or ramming into somes one's car, or going over large jumps with their wacky physics engine? Or just stopping a car on the street and taking that car? There is nothing more funny than that.

I agree, if you could get into the gameplay of VC, it was awsome. I think a big problem was that many people had played through GTA3, and then VC wasn't that different. For me I had never played GTA3, so VC was all new. Seriously though, how can you say VC wasn't good? How many game awards did it get, and how popular was it?

Yeah, I knew that comment was coming. I'm not saying that every popular thing is good, but I think that the popularity of this map in conjunction with the plethora of awards it has, shows that it must be at least 'good'.

How many international gaming awards has Doc got?

I played it late last year. From what I saw, in all aspects, Mafia > GTA3. Mafia had a more engaging storyline, it had a far more efficient graphics engine (smooth fps on a GF2!!) and the cutscenes were absolutely brilliant.

You can ram cars, and stop cars in the street and steal them in Mafia as well...

GTA3 was also infinitely better and more playable on the PS2 imo.. the PC version has tainted it simply by having to use the keyboard (if one does not have a PC pad thingy).

It plays a lot better as a console game than PC, because its not

A) first person in regards to the combat system - more based on a simple one button aim and fire approach. much more suited to the PS2 pad/setup

B) driving - sometimes you need to be a slick mother in your wheels of steel, and im afraid keyboard/mouse just doesnt cut it as a tool for driving. with the exception of NFS:underground, (and a handful of others) most PC driving games/games with driving as a large element are pure cack.

wil5on - what on earth do you mean? you can ram cars, steal cars etc in GTA 3 also? I've not played Mafia, but i'm willing to wager that GTA3/VC also has a lot more "sub-games" to undertake, as there is depth beyond belief in that game.

also am i to presume that you work solely for the mafia through the game? the idea of GTA3 is to be a lone criminal, and move from gang to gang - making enemies/friends, and changes to the city as you go - a very "immersive" experience!

A PS1/2 to USB pad adapter is ?7 delivered from play.com. I've got one with two pads plugged in and they both seem to work perfectly in any game... I think they should sell that kind of thing a lot more for the PC, I think people would like a game with split screen multiplayer, or that allowed you to have one PC with two monitors. The main thing missing from PC gaming is not being able to play against people who are in the sample place as you (with the exception of turn-based games). I suppose the main problem with this idea is that a lot of people have a monitor that isn't very big...

Mafia may have the story and characters, but that was never really the point in a GTA game. GTA has more depth in terms of gameplay, giving you more freedom and more things to do. Mafia focuses more on the story aspect, and while it does give you some freedom, it doesn't really gel together as well as GTA in my opinion. Besides, GTA has tanks and apache helicopters you can steal. [addsig]

I imagine it would play better as a console game. I think that might be why I didnt like it, it had a consoley feel to it.

Mafia has 2 game modes, you can play through the story or choose "free ride", you get a car and some money and you just drive around doing whatever. In GTA3, can you steal a taxi then drive people around for money? Didn't think so
