This is one of the two or three best games that I have ever played. My top three list would include three of the following ;) -- MGS1, Halo, Skies of Arcadia, Phantasy Star Online and GTA3. I know, people like to see a *real" list, but how can you truly rank such disparate games. GTA3 is by far one of the most free-form games ever developed. I have put well over 100 hours into it, tying with PSO for the "most played" list, but it rarely gets boring. There are sooooo many things to do and see. A fascinating story, and a free-form factor that let's you do just about anything. Phenomenol.
