I rented Vice City for the Xbox this weekend.
Boy am I glad I only rented it. The controls suck and despite the fact that it's touted for it's freedom, it's very linear. Get wasted, still have to complete the mission. Oh sure I can walk around and beat people up for money, but that's not going to get me anything big.
The driving is the worst so far (I'm on the 2nd or 3rd mission, whichever mission the pizza delivery boy mission is, I ram into the delivery boy knock him 100 feet from his scooter and by the time I get out of my car and run over to him he's back on his scooter. And that's only when I'm not pinballing off all the other cars or skidding into the water (what I can jump out of the car while it's still moving, but once the car goes underwater even with the hood and windshield gone I can't get out?)
It won't be getting my $50 that's for sure. Back to Halo and Brute Force.
