vertical limit Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 What's hapening forum? What is your favorite GTA clone? If you don't know what a GTA clone is,then read this. Grand Theft Auto clone is a genre of sandbox action adventure video games characterized by their likeness to the Grand Theft Auto series, in which players may find and use a variety of vehicles and weapons while roaming freely in an open world setting. My favorite GTA clone is Mafia 2. You can't choose a GTA game. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/468024-favorite-gta-clone/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubbs51 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I actually like the Saints Row Series... i enjoy the over the top insane sh*t like spraying sewage all over the place plus the Cheats are hilarious and the ability to use them in coop makes for a awesomely hilarious experience Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/468024-favorite-gta-clone/#findComment-1060305814 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm nice bike Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Probably the Saints Row series. I'll admit it, I don't think the storylines are that great (I think they're just "OK" if anything), but some of the main missions were good, and the side missions and activities are also pretty fun ("Insurance Fraud" and "Fuzz" were probably my favorite). I liked the cheats, as well, and co-op was usually good when doing pretty much anything (until the game froze from your partner using too many cheats or causing too many explosions ).

[SM]CJZera Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Scarface: the World is yours is an excellent example really, and it has quite a lot of interesting perspectives, like drug-dealing fronts and the drug market in general...

macorules94 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 The Saints Row series. I had more fun playing SR2 then IV and Volition did a great job at making it as different to GTA as possible because it doesn't feel like GTA but more of a fun over the top action sandbox game.

Mister Pink Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Anyone think the expression 'GTA Clone' is a bucket of your ma's vaginal discharge? How disrespectful do you think it is to call a game a clone based off another series especially if the game is 10 years later (Mafia II) than GTA III. I mean, do you think if Rockstar didn't make a sandbox game someone else wouldn't have eventually? Am I being an asshole? Does chocolate taste nice with with dead babies???

Claude Speed. Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 This thread is retarded and most mentioned titles were even before modern styled GTA games (and/or franchises that started before GTAIII). That's a common misconception but there was a 3D free roaming game named Body Harvest released in '98, developed by DMA Design (now Rockstar North). It wasn't GTA but it was made by the same people, so in a way, it was the father of GTA. Nobody mentioned Mafia (I)? Shame on you! And I also agree on Scarface: The World Is Yours (while it has horrible driving mechanics it's actually a great game), Godfather I (again, horrible driving mechanics but pretty entertaining game).

Arvis Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Not all of these are clones, agreed with ThePinkFloydSound. Better topic would be "favorite sandbox game apart from GTA" or something. In that case I'd take Mafia, Mafia 2 and JC2. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/468024-favorite-gta-clone/#findComment-1060306590 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narcis_speed6 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 So every sandbox game is a gta clone, and every shooter game is a doom clone? anyway, my vote goes for Mafia 1&2.

Evj Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Are all open world/sandbox games gta clones? And in my opinion MAFIA(2) is not a sandbox/open world game.

Mister Pink Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Dude I did not name the term "gta clone" myself! Wikipedia did read This thing over here I know, but you choose to use that expression. Something like what Vecis mentioned would have been more suitable. I'm not having a go, just saying buddy. Also about the link, just because there's a facebook page doesn't mean I agree with GTA Clone. I may as well contribute too. I liked Mafia II aside from the obvious let downs and for two or 3 weeks, Just Cause 2 was amazing. Decent graphics a big f*ck off map and things to get creative with in the envoirnment - grappling hooking people to the back of your car or to a gas cylinder and the shooting the cylinder. Good times! Also, I enjoyed Driver: Parallel Lines. It had some great innovations that GTA then had after. I always have to mention the 'face recognition' system they had. Basically when the cops are after you they identify either you or your car or both. So if you were seen driving car X they can't really see your face in the car but if you run in a laneway and switch cars you can loose the heat.

I love Parallel Lines, I remember I could do a 180 turn while being chased by the police then shoot them with a rocket or something. My favorite GTA clone has to be either True Crime NYC or Mafia II.

Sanjeem Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Saints row 2, for it's gameplay, moding almost anything in the game was awesome, aswell as clothes and the missions were OK aswell as the story, i liked IV more but SR2 still was a must have for me, driving was only sh*t aspect of it.
