If they stick to the story of the first five books, there'll be a lot more room to get it right, and a more spectacular ending.
I never liked the second chronicles anyway. I'm still not 100% convinced that they were actually written by Zelazny himself. He was playing around with the concept of authorship in his later years, I think it would have been just like him to want to see if someone else could write in his style, convincingly enough to pass as the second chronicles of Amber.
But in GTA3 you do beat up on other races! In fact one
of the missions is to take a flamethrower into Chinatown to roast some Triads. The criminal
factions in that game seem to be split along racial
lines, and you have to fight most of them at some point.
On the other hand, this game is so violent that making such distinctions seems silly. The character is a mass-murdering maniac who doesn't seem to care who gets ground under his wheels as long as he gets paid. (IS he doing these
missions for the money? I assumed so because he seems to have no other reason, but there are easier ways to get money in this game.)

It's still a fun game, though.
