I couldn't get that to work on mine? Was that on the PS2 version or PC?

Of course you can taxi...you can also go after criminals in the police car or military vehicles, pick up injured people in an ambulance, drive remote controlled toy cars with bombs strapped on them, or control remote conteolled helicopters, pick up people in a bus, partake in street races, sell rare cars, buy property.....and that's all of the stuff you get to do outside of the missions (in fact, I don't think I've even listed them all). I can't even remember how many missions there are in GTA: VC... [addsig]

based on a simple one button aim and fire approach. much more suited to the PS2 pad/setup
I;ve always prefered P KB and mouse to a game pad, but In 3rd person, i cant see the difference really.

GTA3 8/10
Vice City 7/10

I found it quite fun. Nothing beats slicing people up with the blades on a remote controlled helicopter. [addsig]

I never managed to do the boatyard mission 'checkpoint charlie' on the PC - the boats are both SO hard to control using a keyboard...

Driving the cars and overall control is much easier with a keyboard and mouse. Maybe your configurations are the default (to people who claimed it is easier with a controller).

I couldn't play the damn thing on PS2, it was such a pain in the ass.

In Vice City, you have to use a controller for the remote hellicopter. The boats drive just as the cars (just with bad handling) ... so maybe you need more practice, Jeff

However, something you can't deny is that, both GTA3 and Vice City look much better on the PC. (more so for GTA3).

Maybe I'm just too used to playing Hitman and such. But I have no problem blowing through those games. [addsig]

I've read in a few places that the Xbox versions are the best versions - not sure if they meant in terms of visuals (since it took a while to port, perhaps the improved things?), controls, sound, or a combination of the lot. I've not gotten around to picking up the double pack yet, but probably will sometime. [addsig]

I'm not sure if anyone else has brought this up yet but...

San Andreas won't just be a city; it's an entire state. 6x the size of Vice City, apparently. Deserts, mountains... Wow. Your character will have to eat and visibly gain weight. Empire-building is going to be overhauled as well.
