I just received the PS2 "Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy" today from Amazon (I just ordered it late yesterday too!), so that should give a bit more authenticity to my writings on the subject. I'll be playing it on my PS3, but will be getting captures from my PS2 for the actual book. That would just leave me not having played the apparently poor GBA version and the earlier, now freeware, GTA 1 and 2 (assuming my having played the portable Vice City Stories on the PSP would be sufficient).
Anyone have any thoughts on the GBA version? It's my understanding that it was criticized for being a modern release, 2004, that ignored all the advances from the 3D games and essentially went back to the "old" model from GTA 1 and 2, visuals and all.

By the way, I never played it myself, but do remember hearing about this homebrew GTA for the NES a few years back: http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2005/05/homebrew_grand.html . Anyone try it? It doesn't seem to be around anymore...
