man, i love this game, i brought it two weeks ago and have hardly stopped playing it. what i do mostly is cruise around the islands in my attack boat, blowing up pirate boats and taking the money. i have made millions doing this. i do like the islands best, because you can shoot as many gang members as you want, without the police coming after you.
i would say its deffinately worth buying, if you liked vice city then you will like this too
