Gameplay-wise this isn't really that different from GTA III, but overall this game is so much better imo. The fact it has a map screen automatically makes it better, but in general I just like the map, setting, and story more, and a kickass soundtrack (probably my favorite of the trilogy, we all know Japanese Boy is a banger) and great leading performance from Ray Liotta don't hurt either.
This review contains spoilers
If I had a nickel for every time I've seen a grape villain in a piece of media, I'd have two nickels.
I started writing this yesterday while the credits are scrolling only to find out I wasn't actually finished with the game yet.
Pretty good, I mean it's clearly a game for kids but it's good for what it is. I liked the different powers you can use with Peach, my favorites would probably be Detective Peach, Mermaid Peach (I think that's mostly for the music), and Kung Fu Peach. With all the different abilities you use it's kinda like a Kirby game but you play as Peach and you don't inhale your enemies.
It isn't very challenging (obviously as it's a kids game) but some of the rehearsal challenges can get annoying. Also the final boss's final form is easier than it's first form, which I found kinda funny.
It's also annoying to 100%, as there's no "restart from checkpoint" option which would make things less repetitive because you only have the option to restart from the beginning which gets old fast if you missed a collectable. The ending of the game isn't truly the end either, as after the end you have to do the boss challenges, which is fine, but I'm not a fan of is also having to play through the game again to find the ninjas in every level which gets boring, and the only reward you get for that is a dress.
If you combine the Swordfighter Peach and the Kung Fu Peach, you could get a Kill Bill game with Peach, now that would go hard as fuck. I mean they used the Kill Bill music in the Mario movie last year so that seems like the next logical step.
Overall it's pretty good, would be nice to have more Peach centered games, maybe I should play Super Princess Peach one day. Whatever, back to Vice City now.

Unlike the first two, I actually bothered to finish this one. This is also my first time beating a GTA 100%. This was also my first GTA.
GTA III is a good game but it suffers from being the first 3D entry in the series, with it's biggest shortcomings being the lack of a map screen and a lack of camera controls. This next issue mostly affects during rampages but the sniper rifle aiming controls like shit on PS2, the worst example of this is in the Columbian headshot rampage.
As I said, it's a good game, the story and actual missions are quite fun, but unfortunately it's just dragged down by those other stuff, and whenever I'm in the mood for some classic GTA, I'll usually play either Vice City or San Andreas. However, I will always respect it for being an extremely important game because the open world genre today owes itself to this one.
