Grand Theft Auto III & Vice City Bundle
       -- GRAND THEFT AUTO III --
       WARNING: This game contains: violence, blood and gore, strong
        language, harsh realities, gleeful abandonment of moral
        responsibility, excessive use of force, overtly sinister character
        portrayals, perverse sense of anarchy, cynical proclivity, blatant
        over-exaggeration of the female form, lack of pleasant overtones or
        happy ending, and disregard of the law. This game is not for use
        with children. Do not ingest.
       Emerging from the underworld, Grand Theft Auto 3 dares to set new
        levels of unflinching criminal behavior in a dark, ruthless video-
        game that never pretends to be anything but truly adult
        entertainment. Make no mistake -- videogames have grown up, and
        GTA3 demonstrates that fully. Not only is the content severely
        mature -- how could a game putting you in the shoes of a mob gun-
        for-hire who has no qualms against hit orders, car jackings, or
        public use of heavy artillery not earn that "M" rating? -- but the
        game itself shows incredible leaps in production values to achieve
        that gritty reality. Hollywood talents such as Michael Rapaport,
        and Michael Madson give voice to the gangland thugs and Mafioso,
        while the PlayStation 2 super-charges GTA3's massive scale of
        crowded streets crammed with cars to steal. Liberty City is wide
        open to those who control it, and you're the kind of guy who makes
        his own key. In all seriousness, this game is rated "Mature" for a
        reason -- it's not for those under 17. Otherwise, they don't get
        much hotter than GRAND THEFT AUTO 3 ... if they know what's good
        for them.
 * Crime
   - Liberty City is a complete physical universe with laws, rules,
     standards, ethics and morals. They are yours to shatter.
   - Over 80 gangland missions and loads of side missions.
   - Work your way through the hierarchy of the gangs, meet bigger bosses,
     get better jobs.
   - Multi-layered missions interweave story elements from level to level.
   - Revenge plot drives the player through the game, whilst retaining non-
     linearity and freedom of previous games.
   - Over two dozen ways to take out another character: fist fighting
     (punch, kick and head butt), base ball bat, handgun, Uzi, machine gun,
     M-16, rocket launcher, grenade, Molotov cocktail and flame thrower.
   - Organized police forces including cops, SWAT Teams, FBI, and the Army
     work strategically to keep Liberty City properly corrupt and somewhat
     safe.
 * The City
   - Liberty City is divided into 3 districts: industrial zone, commercial
     district and suburban neighborhood all connected by bridges and
     tunnels. Each has its own look and feel   different kinds of
     buildings, cars, and inhabitants. As you progress through the game,
     new areas will open up to you eventually allowing access to the whole
     city.
   - The streets of Liberty City are jammed with over 50 vehicles, each
     with their own physics. All ripe for the plucking, cabs, sedans,
     family cars, mini vans, SUVs, trucks (pick-ups to 18 wheelers), sports
     cars, convertibles, buses (school buses and metro buses), fire
     engines, ambulances, SWAT vehicles, and even the ice cream man are on
     the move in fear of losing their ride. When trying to escape a jam,
     boats and trains help transport players from one side of the city to
     the next.
   - Vehicles take damage on 18 different panels.
   - The time of day and night affects every mission. This city is a very
     different place at night and some missions can only be performed at
     certain times of day.
   - A full-weather eco-system (including rain, fog, thunder and lightning)
     also affects gameplay. For example, rain makes roads slippery, fog
     reduces visibility, etc.
   - Unpredictable pedestrian AI makes for wicked nights and strange days
     throughout Liberty City. Hundreds of pedestrians each with their own
     characteristics populate Grand Theft Auto 3 s intersections and
     alleyways. Businessmen hurry to work, gang members look for trouble,
     and hookers prowl for business. Each character acts and reacts to
     situations and the activity surrounding them in their own unique way.
   - Over two hours of music make up the soundtrack for the City. Each
     vehicle is tuned to its own radio station playing a combination of
     licensed tracks, specially created music and talk radio.

     -- GRAND THEFT AUTO: VICE CITY --
       Welcome to Vice City. Welcome to the 1980s.
       Having just made it back onto the streets of Liberty City after a
        long stretch in maximum security, Tommy Vercetti is sent to Vice
        City by his old boss, Sonny Forelli. They were understandably
        nervous about his re-appearance in Liberty City, so a trip down
        south seemed like a good idea. But all does not go smoothly upon
        his arrival in the glamorous, hedonistic metropolis of Vice City.
       He is set up and is left with no money and no merchandise. Sonny
        wants his money back, but the biker gangs, Cuban gangsters, and
        corrupt politicians stand in his way. Most of Vice City seems to
        want Tommy dead. His only answer is to fight back and take over the
        city himself.
       From the decade of big hair, excess and pastel suits comes a story
        of one man's rise to the top of the criminal pile as Grand Theft
        Auto returns to the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system.
        Vice City is a huge urban sprawl ranging from the beach to the
        swamps and the glitz to the ghetto, and is the most varied,
        complete and alive digital city ever created. Combining non-linear
        gameplay with a character driven narrative, you arrive in a town
        brimming with delights and degradation and are given the
        opportunity to take it over as you choose.
 * Nine Full hours of 80's music featuring 90+ songs licensed from well
   known artists (compare this to GTA3's three and a half hours). Confirmed
   song tracks include:
   - Judas Priest, "You've got another thing coming"
   - GrandMaster Flash, "The Message"
   - Laura Branigan, "Self Control"
   - Kool and the Gang, "Summer Madness"
   - Flock of Seagulls, "I Ran"
   - Hall & Oats, "Out of Touch"
   - Cutting Crew, "I Just Died in Your Arms"
 * Lazlow will be back
 * More reflective surfaces on the vehicles including real time shadowing
   from the environment.
 * The whole of Vice City will be open to players from the start of the
   game. Go where you want, when you want.
 * Vice City is not a sequel, nor is it a prequel, and it certainly is not
   an add-on. It's just another slice of the GTA "universe".
 * The main characters name is Tommy.
 * Your character finally speaks!
 * There will be around 8000 individual voice overs (compared to GTA3's
   2000).
 * 20 top Hollywood stars will fill out the cast.
 * Vice City will be double the size of Liberty City both inside and out.
   There will be many, many more multileveled interior environments for you
   to explore. Missions will send you to both outdoor and indoor locations.
 * Vice City will include even more peds on the streets with more lifelike
   behavior.
 * Gangs are more intelligent and will cause trouble all over the city so
   you won't be the only one the police will be hunting down.
 * Graphical enhancements include higher frame rate, higher resolution
   textures, more complex vehicle and ped models with better skins, and a
   new radiosity lighting system to make the neon look just right.
 * New targeting system to make finding and shooting enemies even easier.
   It will highlight targets based on "priority and not on proximity". The
   new system also includes a new crosshair system that shows you both the
   exact target and the bullet spray radius. The crosshair will also change
   color to indicate the enemies threat level.
 * Vice City will include 40 weapons (compared to GTA3's 15), including new
   hand to hand weapons like the machete.
 * New maneuvers like crouching will help you make use of cover.
 * A new camera system will lock the camera over your shoulder to make both
   interior and exterior combat easier.
 * A new HUD will show more information including your elevation above
   ground (think large buildings with multiple floors).
 * VC will include more complex missions that include a greater variety of
   objectives. These new missions will ask more of you by melding vehicle,
   outdoor and indoor combat all into one mission.
 * New side missions including pizza delivery!
 * The vehicle count has also been raised to 120 from GTA3's paltry
   selection of only 50. Many of the vehicles are inspired by 80's sports
   cars and yes, there will be motorcycles!
 * You will be able to shoot out tires which will drastically affect the
   vehicle physics.
 * More boats have been added, and water based action has been revamped as
   well with an all new physics system for boats.
