This game is just spectacular! It was worth the wait. Very interactive. Very interesting… And I must say very violent..
Trying shooting a cop and see what happens after that to you! hehehe!
and ur playing it during ramadan? :nono:…if ur not muslim forget what i said and dig into the strippers and bikini clad gals. enjoy!
(but i personally, being a muslim have decided not to play it…atleast in ramadan)
It’s just a game. Do you not also watch TV during Ramadan also? Personally, I don’t see any problem with playing a video game during Ramadan, no matter how violent it is. I know, I know, we’re not supposed to watch TV, or movies, or participate in any form of entertainment during Ramadan. Sometimes you need a break from reading the Quran or praying and just need to pass some time away.

If you're only going to stay away from watching topless women during Ramadan, then you've lost all credibility dude. You should always stay away from watching topless women.
I wasn't aware that there are topless women in GTA 3.0 since I haven't played it (I've played the previous ones), but I don't think I would find a computer generated image in a videogame titalating at all, so therefore wouldn't have to worry about it. If a topless image in a computer video game excites you, then I suggest you stay at home, or walk around outside in a blindfold.
I am waiting for that game to come out!
It is sold out in all shops here in Texas.
I am not much of a Gamer but I would like to play something cool...I like more action, less strategy..more speed..don't mind about topless or not thingy!
Can I play it on PC or is it a play station game...
I havent played it, but it has shattered all sale records for games in the Uk relating to its time of release. Its already moved some £10 million worth according to BBC.
You idiot!
Dont be a hypocrite. So you are telling me being on a forum on the internet is allowed and playing games isnt? People like you are the ones who give all the Muslims in the world a bad name!
I am just glad people like you are not in power in Pakistan! Warna humaray mulq kaa bayraa gaharak ho jaana thaa!
We had a discussion about it Alibeta, when the game first came out a few weeks ago.
Check it out here

and yeah it’s superb :k:
Although I’ve packed it up till after ramadan.
hskhan: if u r so good a muslim, how bout following “lana aamaluna wa lakum aamaalukum”…
ppl: please stop passing judgements on what other do or choose to do…it just side-tracks the topic…
Yahooo!! the GTA 3 was already amazing enough.
I just hope they gonna release it on XBOX :(
Just because it wont be ramadhan that does not mean that you should watch girls in bikini. If you are gona play, play it during ramadhan, if you dont wanna play b/c of profanity and sex dont play it all. Not being Ramadhan does not mean that you should go and have sex like it is allowed in sharia.
you people just crak me up with ur silly talk... :)
vice city is awsome though...the graphics rock... the women walk weird though its like they have polio or somthin
yeah I have it. I preordered it a long time ago, 'cuz I knew it'll be next to impossible to find it after oct 29th. So far I haven't dug deep into it just 13% because I'm playing Suikoden 3.
BTW, you might wanna edit the title of the game. Its not Grand Theft Auto 4. It's just GTA:Vice City. 4 is suppose to come out on the next generation console.
Woaaaaah Calm down people. Was there something wrong with what i said???? NO! I said we shouldnt turn to these things...ESPECIALLY in the month of ramadan.
And for all those who said im anti profanity and sexuality...mind you i have played GTA 3 before and yes i enjoyed it. It has nice game play, but was the sexual content was not needed.
And you IDIOT ALI! Who said its GTA4? Vice city is GTA3 you dummy. Get ur facts straight before discussing a game.
hahaha!
Do some research before just sayin something! Its Grand theft auto: Vice City. GTA 3 has already been released. SO THIS IS THE FOURTH INSTALLMENT OF THE GTA SERIES! How do I know! Because I OWN the game!
So whos the doofus now? Islam main agar games band hay ramazan main to internet use bhi band karro? Or does it say in the Quran that the internet is allowed and games arent?
I hate people who change religeon to there convinience and then also implement on others!
lol!
Polio nahi hay bhayee. They just have showed Latino women. So they have Spnaish accent. Because the city is supposed to show Miami!

Busjacking for Grownups
Grand Theft Auto III is a national obsession. Its sequel borders on something more: art
By LEV GROSSMAN
WICKED GAME: In Vice City you play a mid-level mobster named Tommy Vercetti, voiced by Ray Liotta (GoodFellas)
Sunday, Oct. 27, 2002
Tommy Vercetti has a problem: he's trying to hijack a city bus, but the bus won't move. He has kicked the driver out onto the street. He's even softened him up with a baseball bat. But Vercetti didn't do a good job of parking his car before he got on the bus, and it's blocking the street. Traffic is backed up halfway down the block, and there's nowhere to drive the bus. Before this busjacking thing goes any further, he's going to have to park his car properly like anybody else.
Fortunately for us, Vercetti isn't a real person. He's a character in Vice City, the sequel to Grand Theft Auto III, the $50 video game that sold 7 million copies in the past year on its way to becoming the fastest-selling PlayStation2 game ever. It's not the violence that moves all those units. Thousands of games out there shed more blood and make less money. When Vice City is released on Oct. 29, it will freak out millions of parents and sell millions of copies, but it will also force us to realize that video games aren't toys anymore; they're sophisticated, thought-provoking entertainment for grownups. At their best, they're art.
For those who have never played it, GTA3 (as its fans affectionately call it) sounds like just another escapist shoot-'em-up, a virtual urban war game for suburban armchair delinquents. But while most video games put you in a fantastic setting — say, a blue maze full of dots — GTA3 is set in Liberty City, a metropolis as realistic and richly detailed as Dickens' London, with weather that changes hourly and carefully rendered litter drawn streets. Most video games give you a challenge, like eating all the dots while dodging hungry pastel-colored ghosts. In GTA3, your problems are real-world problems, like parallel parking.
What's more, you have the freedom to choose how to solve those problems, or even whether to solve them at all. GTA3 is a novel written with a joystick, with branching story lines that twist and turn depending on the choices you make. "People play so differently," says Terry Donovan, COO of Rockstar, the British company that makes the game. "I watched my sister play Vice City, and she just drove a moped around for an entire day." This kind of interactivity gets fans emotionally involved in ways no other game ever has. Search the Net, and you will find GTA3-themed websites, discussion groups, rumors, rants, love letters, clubs, gangs, guidebooks and philosophical discussions. One website hosts 48 original works of fiction set in Liberty City.
Along with a body of original literature, the game has earned its share of controversy. Measured by its body count, GTA3 is pretty tame — compared with, for example, Space Invaders — but all that freedom can lead to some vicious scenarios. You can run over pedestrians if you so desire, then shoot the paramedics who show up and loot their bodies for spare change. (Then you can spend your ill-gotten gains on one of Liberty City's many prostitutes.) Video games are protected by the First Amendment, but when GTA3 was released in Australia, the government pulled it from shelves until Rockstar could come up with a tamer, edited version.
But there's a lot more going on here than violence. Vice City is set in a fictional version of Miami, circa 1986, and it evokes the place and the period with the skill of a Scorsese: it's a steaming Cuban sandwich of sultry Latin sirens, drug deals gone bad and seedy mobsters with big metal briefcases full of small unmarked bills. The city streets are awash with neon in candy pink and pistachio green, and each streetlight is ringed by a delicate nimbus suggesting warm, humid tropical air. The kicker is the painfully authentic all-1980s sound track (which will be released by Sony Music as a seven-CD set). Buy this game, and you will Wang Chung tonight.
As for the violence, Vice City doesn't pull any punches — but why should it? Studies show the average American gamer is well into his 20s — old enough to have Wang Chunged before — yet while his tastes have matured, video games haven't been allowed to grow up with him. "There has been a demographic shift in who's playing," Donovan argues. "You're telling a 25-year-old that he's supposed to play with a hedgehog?"
Vice City is the best demonstration so far that video games have come of age. As an interactive medium, one built around freedom of choice, video games are actually well suited to teach us about right and wrong. Tommy Vercetti is free to hijack that bus, but he must be prepared to live with the consequences, which may include being thrown in jail by Vice City's finest. Vercetti is equally free to give up his life of crime and become a taxi driver or a fireman or deliver pizzas for a living. It's up to you — he's as bad as you want him to be. He can even ride around on a moped all day without harming a soul, just soaking up that golden Vice City sunlight. So long as he parks it properly afterward
