Actually, not to nitpick, but GTA 4 is going to be released sometime in the near future...Vice City is just an extension of 3.
Had GTA3 started out as a PC game, Vice City would have only been an expansion, IMO. They only changed the skins, added voices, and a few features. Personally, motorcycles and bailing from cars aren't worth paying $50 instead of $20 for GTA3. But that's just me. As soon as Vice City goes down in price, I'll be buying it, just to launch cars off of the mall parking garage.
