Can't wait for this game, I actually had no idea it carried such a solid voice cast. Luis Guzman in a videogame? I am going nutty over the very thought of it. I can't wait. Argh Nov 8th Uk date..... just a littttttle longer.

GTA3 had a pretty strong voice cast, too! Joey Pants was Luigi, one of the guys from Gangstarr was 8 Ball, Michael Rappaport was Joey Leone.. there were others I'm forgetting, too.

Josh,
Michael Madsen was one of the guys(one of the mob bosses) and Kyle McLachlan was Donald Love. Can't wait to get my hands on this game tomorrow.

PS: Besides Masden and Joey Pants, I wasn't aware of other contributors to GTA3's voice cast! Cool stuff!

 

[Steven Simon]

Anyone have the game yet??

 

[Dave Bennett]

Dan, good call to make one official thread. Hopefully I should have the game in my hands close to this time tomorrow so I'll probably play for a few hours and post my take on it.

 

[StevenW]

so do I have any kind of chance getting this at a B&M without having a reserved copy tommorow morning?

 

[Steven Simon]

Wow,
Toyr's R Us says it's delayed until the 31st.... EB says tomorrow though

 

[Romier S]

My copy is in my hands as we speak
I just got home and will be playing for a while. I'll be back with some brief impressions for you guys soon....

 

[Dave Bennett]

Romier, how did you get your copy a day early? Have a connection on the inside?

 

[BrianB]

Some places are getting it in today.

Some places are getting it in today.

Yep, my EB called me and told me they got a partial shipment in and coud fill in some pre-orders (I got friends there so they called me up). So I rushed on over and picked up it up!

 

[Dean DeMass]

I'm leaving in a few minutes to go get mine.
I'll have some impressions early.

[Steven Simon]

So how is it Romier??

 

[Chris Flynn]

Someone message me when the PC version comes out.

 

[Jason Harbaugh]

"Someone message me when the PC version comes out."
Ditto to that.

Well this is one game, you don't want to be waiting around till 2004 to play IMO . I got in on the 39.99 price at the website, at least I don't have to stand in line and hope for the best on Wednesday, thanks for the deal. Hell, I don't even own a PS2 but I'll be borrowing one from a friend just to play this thing!

 

[Steven Simon]

IGN just posted their review.... 9.7

OK, I've played for about an hour and a half. What can I say, the game is just awesome. Having Ray Liotta doing the voice of your character was a stroke of genius. The voice acting so far is top notch.
I already have a new suit, rode a Harley, and a moped. Jammed out to Anthrax, Michael Jackson, and even Yes.
What's cool is you can buy businesses. I didn't know about that part of the game.
Oh, I also bought a meat clever, and hacked a couple of people up to steal their money. I've basically been doing the cab missions to learn the city.
The DTS sound is OK, nothing to write home about, but it is adequate.
So far Vice City gets way up from me.
