I never had any interest in GTA. I bought GTA2 for Dreamcast, and played it maybe 3 hours tops. I still have it but never really feel like playing it. I know that this one isn't near as advanced as the later comers. But I just don't care about GTA. I love Oblivion, I bought the Game of the Year Edition on 360, expecting maybe not to like it. To my pleasant surprise it's one of the games I put the most time in so far for on 360. About 120 hours. I'd play it more but with so many games to play.... I love running around in the Crusaders gear. Glad I got the GOTY version. I'd say Elder Scrolls is more for me than GTA... even though I've only played the one. I'm not really interested in messing with the older ones. Oblivion is just too pretty I think it'd be too hard to go back on that sort of game. I'd Say I like the game better than Fallout 3 even, accept using the VATS system is so fun. Seeing those eyeballs fly out when you blow up your enemy. You just can't do that with a sword on Oblivion. I will say on a note that all my 'Mainstream' type game playing friends LOVE GTA.
