UWEIUCFW Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 From what I read and seen, 25 to life will probily, in my mind, be as good as GTA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zimoo Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I've never even heard of 25 to life, but I'd have to say my fave. GTA wannabe is either True Crime or The Getaway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airashii Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 It would have to be True Crime- Streets of L.A for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommy vercetti guy Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 (edited) i never knew mercenaries and 25 to life are GTA copycats anyways, i think 25 to life is the coolest! remember the father of GTA was gonna make a new game with gangstas and cops fighting each other? thats a copy of 25 to life Edited March 22, 2005 by tommy vercetti guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Driv3r, what with them actually stealing some VC textures. True Crime, basically like GTA, except you're stopping criminals The Getaway, just a crappy, pathetic version of GTA. as for a favourite, I don't have one, don't really like them, although the Driver series does have some cool aspects to it.

Oscar Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I love the Simpsons Hit and Run Game, but I have to go for Mafia here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherman Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I'd have to say Driv3r (since everyone TRIES to compare them, even if they are un-comparable) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandlercd_22 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I liked the getaway. The driving was fun and i liked the guns they had and the way you could use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gta-player Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 I voted for True Crime. I played it a couple weeks ago at my brother's house. It's exactly like GTA, except you play for the good guys. I didn't really like it, but out of that list, it's my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Mercenaries: Nothing like GTA. A whole different game all together. the getaway: Never played it. driver 3: Also not the same thing as GTA. They are TWO COMPLETLY DIFFERENT GAMES. Two different GENRES all-together. mafia: Never played. true crime: Probably the most GTA-ish out of the whole bunch. No where near as good, though the simpsons : hit and run: What the hell? It's a damn Simpsons game for crying out loud. 25 to life: Not even out yet, I can't compare the two. Out of the ones I played, True Crime and Driv3r were my favorites. Mercenaries looks badass.

TCClone Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 I voted for mercenaries because it was the best out of all of those games. (even though its not a GTA wannabe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_subuzi Posted March 23, 2005 Author Share Posted March 23, 2005 Well mercenaries is a free froam game where you can hijack vehicles a bit like gta . All the games in the poll are free roaming games . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 But are still NOT GTA wannabes. Just because they are free-roam doesn't mean they are copying GTA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris82 Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 25 to life is a shooter, not an action/adventure. Mercenaries is not a GTA Copycat; jacking hummer's does not play a big part in the story. The Simpsons: Hit and Run really is not a big carjacking game. Most of the time, you have to use a payphone to get a ride. True Crime is okay, but the weapon system is the shitz. Mafia was made by a TakeTwo company But The Getaway was the best copycat. I think that's the only game that rivals SA in the frequency of F-word use.

Oscar Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 The Simpsons: Hit and Run really is not a big carjacking game. Most of the time, you have to use a payphone to get a ride. You can force someone to give you a ride to anywhere you want, so thats technically a car jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Valentino Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 (edited) I voted True Crime. It's fun frisking people and putting cuffs on them. And my peace is at -146 Edited March 24, 2005 by Joey Valentino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oscar Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 What about it? I know is free roaming, but is not a GTA wanabee, at least not for me. Shit, none of those ARE GTA wannabes. Some have the crime and the free roaming, and some action, the GTA style is quite original and very popular, so is a natural thing that some games want to copy that, but they dont want to be so obvious, wich means they change somethings to the games, like Driv3r wich is more driving, True Crime, wich star is a police man with a badass attitude. Mayne the term "GTA Wannabe" is not the most exact thing, maybe is more like GTA sytle or something, but some of them are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 The correct term would be "similar to GTA". That's like saying one racing game is copying the other because they are both racing games. If everyone thought like that we'd only have like 50-100 games to play.
