Post Decide 2 Action.

Ok.....I dont wanna spend much money right now, so I just wanna buy only 2 games at the moment. But really cannot decide......which one.

Any suggestions?

Here are my choices:-

1.) Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
2.) Hitman 2
3.) Mortal Kombat: DA
4.) The Getaway (That is wait for sometime and get this game later)
5.) Dead To Rights
6.) James Bond: Night Fire.

All these games are Action/Adventure, so thats why I am posting in here. I am really intrested in all of these games, and if I ever get some money, I'd get all of them, but I cant.......I can only go with 2. Which are the best ones you think?

Thanks for your time.

GTA VC is a must because you'll get the most play for your buck (if you're like me, you played GTAIII for 100+ hours). I wouldn't get The Getaway after getting VC because they're so similar, so I'd either get MK DA if you loved the old MK games (ohhh man, when i play it i'll have dreams of my childhood!) or Hitman 2. Dead To Rights and 007 look average.

Believe me, when I say that back in 1993-1994, I was MakgKombat. That is what I am towards Metal Gear, I was towards Mortal Kombat.

But I heard really amazing stuff about Hitman 2 too. Like its a Metal Gear type of game. On the back of its cover, it even says "Metal Gear" something........and Agent 47 looks really cool (If this game has serious story, I'd have more hard time deciding, does it?)

James Bond, Night Fire, for PS2, or gameCube? ( I don't know which consoles you own bud)

I'd go first for GTA Vice City and Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. I've heard they have made a lot of improvements regarding gameplay, and the AI is not supposed to be the cheap crap it used to be in all the other games.

After those 2 games, I'd go for Nightfire, I've never played or seen Hitman 2, gotta check it out.

Digimortal's picks -

Hitman 2 = a cool game if you like stealth action.

GTA: vice city = game of the year

===============================

MKDA = blows ass.. very shallow combat (especially in weapon stance) and not enough moves, also 1 fatality per individual character ..most are very ghey.

I have a Playstation2..btw.

Hmmm........yeah I am a huge fan of Stealth Action games.....and thats why Hitman 2 is something I really wanna get my hands on.

And the other day, I saw "Dead To Rights" trailer, and man, that guy has some serious moves on him. They are pretty awesome...(Does Dead to Rights, contains nice storyline and cut scenes), cause I am huge fans of cut scenes)

As for Vice City....I know its great and that game pulls me towards itself, but I have GTAIII, which isn't much different then Vice, right.

Makg, go for Hitman 2, if you've played hitman one you'll pick up on the story (plus theres appearances from charactes form Hitman one,
Spoiler: show
like the prostitue from the Brothel who calls you Mr. Tobias, and the other Agent who you save in Hitman one is also there, and guess what, you have to save him, again , and he gets really drunk )
plus the stealth factor is a lot harder to use than in the first. As for your second choice, I think The getaway instead of GTA VC, just so your different plus VC does get boring after a while, im not sure about dead to rights, ive only seen the cover of it (looks ok though)

I wouldn't buy dead 2 rights, I heard the game looks prety slow (no nobody wanna play a slow game foo!) and VC does get kind of repetitive, I played the demo of hitman 2, it was alright, but I would only buy this game if it was 20 bucks mortal kombat deadly alliance looks pretty sweet (nice graphics, gameplay, and great/awesome battle system).James bond nightfire looks pretty sweet, but if u havent gotten Timesplitters 2, get ts2 first.I've never seen the getaway, so I wouldn't know

So this is what I have gotten from the post till now.

"Vice City" = Gives the same feel as GTAIII and is repetitive at some points.

"Dead to Rights" = Is a good cool game, but its a slow action game, when its comes to story and all.

"Hitman 2" = For stealth fans.....but seems kinda short game? Has some decent moves on the main guy.

"Mortal Kombat DA = Great fighting game, has really nice graphics, and if you were ever a true fan. Get this. Right?

"James Bond: Night fire" = Great game, but better to get Time Splitter 2, as its a better FPS.....

"The Getaway" = Nobody hasn't played this, as its not out yet, but its the same as Vice City.

Hmmmm....... Seems like Mortal Kombat has all the positive ones. So that one is for sure I am getting now 100%... Now the second one............. I still have to decide.

its not the same as VC, both are different game, makgsnake.

The Getway imo has a deeper much and much more serious storyline than VC, though vice city trive on its free roaming aspects, The Getaway will be more of linear, which will focus more on the story. VC has fake cars= TG has real licence cars. i could go on for more if u want...

I know what you mean King.. I was just saying that the whole actual feel of the game is the same. Doing some missions.......then getting back to the story line, doing more missions on ROAD and inside CAR.... then going back to the story line. .. U see where I am going with this....!?

And I heard some serious problems with the movement of the guy, when hes outside of the car and walking around the city (Bugs I heard is all over) I hope they have fixed that problem.

As for the COVER, the game looks KILLER by it.

Ok, point taken.

ill be pissed, if those bugs havent been address properly..

you dont need to worry about the getaway yet, its coming next year. jan. 16, i think, is the release date. so u can get some other good games, my advice, vice city, ofcourse. havent played the other games yet, but i really want to play hitman 2 and mortal combat. since your big on stealth based game, have u tried Sly Cooper, its a platformer, havent really played it, but i heared that its good. or try the Mark of Kri, its a hack and slash game, but with a heavy emphasis on sleath..

Hitman 2 isn't short, If you try to get "silent assasin" (best rating) on each mission, its gonna take a while! The game is much tougher than the first, also the Getaway is so much different from VC, im defiantely gonna get the getaway soon (VC is very short lived )
