    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?

    Vice City PD.

    Features:
    • Real problems are few and far between: Cruise the city's 20 donut shops in the mean-time.
    • In-Car computer to look up offender info. Also has mini-games. Tetris, anyone?
    • Points accumulate as you make speeders sit and wait for you to walk over & ticket them
    • Max character height: 5'6"
    • Don't forget to read those Miranda rights, or the DA will be pissed
    • Most up-to-date bureaucracy simulator *ever!* Literally thousands of forms to fill out.
    • High speed chases are dangerous, and have been banned. Call in the copters to follow them and go for more donuts.
    • Immersive domestic disturbances
    • Realistic AI. Whatever you do, at least half the city still thinks you're the bad guy.
    • Bike Cop & Meter Maid classes in the next expansion pack
