What happened after GTA 3...



GTA on the handheld consoles
GTA has been released on the PSP as well as the GBA. On the PSP, two prequels called GTA: Vice City Stories and GTA: Liberty City Stories were released; these were based on their respective games, and another game called GTA: Advance was released on the GBA. All these games were true to the GTA style, and contained extreme violence and mature content. The PSP games were superb; they sold millions of copies.




GTA and Controversy
This is the most controversial series in the history of gaming: there are a gazillions orders against GTA and its mature content. A mod called Hot Coffee was released for GTA: San Andreas, wherein the player could indulge in sex with his girlfriend. The act was more visual than in any other game, and received a very negative response from parents the world over. Apparently, the sex scene was a part of the original game, and was skipped in the full release -- the code was hidden in the game, and somebody released a patch for it. The game was given an M rating after the controversy.



GTA 4 is coming out in a few weeks; it is one of the most-anticipated titles of the year. We have already previewed the game twice -- do check out the previews. Keep watching this space for a GTA 4 review once it is released.

The name of the protagonist in GTA: Vice City was Tommy, not Tony.

"Vice City had a main plotline, but it had loads of side-quests as well -- there were collectibles, assassination missions, taxi missions, and the cheats made the game just crazy. I remember using a tank and destroying half the city. Like in the previous games, you had a "Wanted" meter that would alert the police -- and the Army if required! One way you could avoid the police was by changing your car's color at a paint shop. There were stunt locations where you could ride one of the many bikes or cars and earn points. (One of my favorite locations was the Malibu Club; you could easily find a car there to perform your stunts.)" -- Everything that is mentioned here was in previous GTA versions. Car Stunts were in GTA3 and everything else (paintshop to avoid police, tank mission, taxi missions etc) mentioned in GTA 1 and 2 also!!!
