can you customize your music in the x-box version with your own soundtrack of your cds?
is there some kind of game boy hook up that makes it better then going with the more graphic intensive x-box version or is load time the big win only with the game cube?

pros and cons on which version would be well appriciated.

thanks

Sorry, I haven't played the Xbox version, so I don't know how the graphics or load times compare. I do know for sure that the Xbox version has a custom soundtrack option, which would be worth using if you don't like rap music.

i just read on a site that the ps2 and xbox version ships on Nov. 7th, but the bad news....gamecube version wont ship until the 21stof Nov. i hope this isnt true. i regret have the cube for this reason and things like this.

It's not Nintendo's fault some publisher's are stupid, brucelee.

Johnny: What's the mission system like? Is it like in GTA where you can wonder around for a while, then start a mission, or do they start one after the other?

bruceleefan · « **Reply #54 on:** October 30, 2003, 12:37:57 PM »

well it has to be some of nintendo's fault, then why did EGM make a big article about nintendo's mistakes and talks about crap just like this. aka: driver 3, and other games that just get cancelled on cube and no other

mouse_clicker · « **Reply #55 on:** October 30, 2003, 12:40:36 PM »

EGM didn't do an article about Nintendo's big mistakes, they interviewed George Harrison. And no, it's not Nintendo's fault- the only thing I could see that spurred this decision would be poor sales when compared to Nintendo's games, but it's not their fault I like Nintendo's games better. In fact, Actvision should have more incentive to release this game on time with Gamecube sales going through the roof (that's not a proble, is it?).

Driver 3 got cancelled? NNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

ok, I really , hate rap ,so as much as I hate to do this to my beloved cube but for the customizing tunes of my own I think I will be having to get the X-box version.

The missions come one after another; it's not like GTA. But certain missions let you drive around all you want to with no time limit, and during these missions you can explore, earn upgrades, solve random crimes, etc.

yah, me too... i'm really regretting my gamecube purchase since i have to wait what... a whole fourteen days longer for this game and i don't get the choice of buying games on GCN, even though the games probably run better on PS2. instead i get subjected to exclusive nintendo products which tend to be only fun /sarcasm

mouse_clicker · « **Reply #59 on:** October 31, 2003, 02:25:54 AM »

yellowfellow: It's not so much the waiting that makes people mad- I'm used to waiting forever for Nintendo's games- but rather it's that publishers push back only the Gamecube version for no good reason. I seriously would like to know exactly why the Gamecube version of the game had to be delayed several weeks while the other 2 verions were prefectly fine?

Rhoq · « **Reply #60 on:** October 31, 2003, 02:59:28 AM »

Gamestop.com is listing all 3 (GameCube, PS2, X-Box) as shipping on November 3, 2003 - which means that most stores should have it on November 4, 2003.

Click HERE to see for yourself.

Edit: Same applies to EBGames.com

yellowfellow · « **Reply #61 on:** October 31, 2003, 04:45:02 AM »

as you are well aware, it is most certainly due to nintendo's image as of late. publishers just don't see the GCN version as a high priority and thus if any version needs to be held back for the sake of the others, the choice is obvious... from their standpoint. its funny why this is the case... the userbase arguement doesn't hold anymore since this recent pricedrop. therefore i think it's all about image. after reading your posts it's obvious you wonder (as do i) why the xbox version gets better treatment than nintendo, despite microsofts lack of a userbase and losses from xbox (though nintnedo is the one who is seen as on the brink of destruction?) ...the only explanation i can give is hype and image.

With the game due in stores as early as Monday, I think it is seriously about time that we get a review for this game (and not necessarily from PGC). I can't ever remember a game that was due to come out in three days time that didn't have a single review of the finalized copy. Actually I can remember a few, and everyone of them turned out to be stinkers that were snuck out to retailers before critics could trash them. In this case, I imagine that Activision was simply late finishing it, and that's why EGM and other mags haven't reviewed it yet, but still... the lack of a good buzz at this point HAS TO effect sales.

But Gamecube sales are the best they've ever been now- if anything 3rd parties should be reinstating their cancelled Gamecube projects (which, according to IGN, a lot of publishers are doing). Even if the Gamecube wasn't selling as well as it is, there's still no reason to simply delay the game. Either cancel it or launch it on time, nothing else.

yellowfellow · « **Reply #64 on:** October 31, 2003, 04:03:56 PM »

read the rest of my post...
reiteriating, i stated that sales are up so why the continuing neglect for the GCN... i think it's cause of the GCN's overall image ...it therefore gets a smaller team and less money

IGN just posted their review. Overall final rating = 9.0

Kamran · « **Reply #66 on:** November 01, 2003, 03:46:06 PM »

I have a few questions:

1. How long are the load times between the missions?

2. Is the game menu like the GTA?

3. Does it load up like GTA: Vice City at the beginning?

4. Please Tell me the default controls for the gamecube?

5. Have you worked out how to save yet?

6. When you start the game for the first time can you freeroam to your first mission like GTA?

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #67 on:** November 01, 2003, 04:38:18 PM »

and not one of those questions had question marks......FOR SHAME!!!!

Kamran · « **Reply #68 on:** November 01, 2003, 07:18:48 PM »

Are you happy now?

Bloodworth · « **Reply #69 on:** November 02, 2003, 08:37:20 AM »

Jonny's out for the weekend, but I'm sure he'll be checking for replies when he gets back.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #70 on:** November 02, 2003, 09:51:02 AM »

no, i'm not. put a question mark at the end of your last post and I will be.

EDIT: Now that wasn't so hard, was it?

Logic5 · « **Reply #71 on:** November 02, 2003, 05:08:50 PM »

Has anyone tried to dissect a gamecube?
If so how far do I haft to go till I find the DE?

Slime I Am · « **Reply #72 on:** November 02, 2003, 05:21:45 PM »

Not sure if anyone's touched on this yet, but since the game will be released tomorrow I was wondering how the AI in the game is, particularly among the NPCs and their interaction with Kang, such as indirect actions like running past them or brandishing a weapon.

vudu · « **Reply #73 on:** November 03, 2003, 07:42:27 AM »

check out ign's review. they seem to have positive things to say about the npc ai.

thecubedcanuck · « **Reply #74 on:** November 03, 2003, 09:18:57 AM »

I cant believe the lack of reviews for this game, the damn thing ships today and it is like it doesnt exist.
