    yep, you sure know what you're talking about.

    "Grand Theft Auto 3 and all future titles in the GTA franchise will be exclusive to PlayStation 2 until October 2004, SCEA announced today at its E3 press conference"

    This is essentially GTA3 in a new city.

    No new features (or very few), same engine, etc, just new content.

    If it was a PC game, it would be released as an addon-pack (just the content, no engine, you'd have to own the first one, sims style), but since that's not feasable (and barely possible without a LOT of forethought) on a console, they're releasing a "new" GTA3.

    Make sense?

    I usually like racing games but this game is really annoying, it's just like that Wreckless game.

    Maybe you didn't like Grand Theft Auto 3 because it's NOT a racing game.
