Payback screens...can this be GBA's Grand Theft Auto?

Yep... from what I understand Apex even approached Rockstar early on with a proposal to make this a GTA game and got turned down. Dumb move on Rockstar's part imo, no way they get GTA Advance looking even half as good.

Well certainly technically impressive for the system is on, it's probably going to run a 10FPS in motion in addition to just generally not looking good. I think GBA games should stick to what the system was intended for - great looking 2D games.

GTA worked great in 2d, why make it 3d? Certainly doesnt look any better for it.

...because it adds a LOT to the atmosphere? I simply enjoyed playing around within that virtual city and, quite frankly, I found the 2D GTA games to be WAY too constricted. There was more to my enjoyment of GTA3 than the missions and violence...and I'm sure others feel the same way.

who cares that it's 3D if it stays in "top view" like the screenshots suggest??

IGN has some videos of it... the framerate looks pretty low but the engine and geometry look better than these shots imply imo... pretty amazing for GBA. Also, it's an Amiga port. :)

Ha ha, oops...I misread that post as an insult to GTA in 3D...not this game. :p
