Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy Limited Edition (Xbox)

This amazing pack contains: GTAIII GTA:Vice city and GTA:San Andreas

each one of these games is unique in playability, lifespan and originality and unrivled.

The sheer quality of 3, VC and SanAn is truly something to behold and they're in that leage of games that you can never get board with!

As if one of them wasnt enough to satisfy you theres 3 for you to enjoy and explore and if that isnt what you're looking for, you'll hard pushed to find anything better or even equal to the GTA Triple pack.

Just like a film and its 2 sequels, the GTA series deserves this presentation in a boxset trilogy. The gaming possibilities that GTA 3 brought with it have been notably and enjoyably multiplied through Vice City and San Andreas. The environments really are so interactive which means you can do something totally different everytime you turn on your console. Other games claim to be realistic and interactive, but these games are milestones and truly the founding fathers of uncensored, uncontrolled, and (almost) unlimited gaming mayhem.

The 3 games are principally the same style and platform but the ficticious (albeit gritty and realistic) cities provide the gamer with new challenges in new environments with new people and new vehicles and so much more.

This collection is brilliant, even for a first time buyer as GTA's excellence lies in the fact that you can just pick up a controller and cruise round (remember this is Grand Theft Auto so you're supposed to steal cars!) and play how you want to play; be it slow to keep your head down in the city, or manic to complete some seemingly impossible missions - This is YOUR game.

The games have always pushed the boundaries of the explicit genre and have gained notoriety, leading to a "bad" image but they are throughly enjoyable. Some people say that the games endorse and cause crime among the youth but I believe this is rubbish. In stark contrast I think the game is more therapeutic than detrimental to an adolescent mind. Throwing on the game after a hard day in which you could have channelled your anger at other people, is quite the remedy. I wouldn't dream of stealing a car or shooting another person in real life, but on the game you can run wild and let off some steam.

The boxset is presented very well and the 'book' of games come with each one's manuals. The 5 stars are for its endless playability, thorough enjoyment, therapeutic qualities(!), low expense and the chance to own a little piece of gaming history.
