    Not yet released but you should definitly look forward to it: MAFIA 2
    You can play number 1 in the meantime, it's considered a classic!

    Ever play Max Payne series... pretty fun.

    But not as open environment as GTA.

    I know the 360's got Saints Row... definitely a GTA type clone.

    ___________
    Of you havent play Oblivion, Gothic, etc.. out yet, then do so

    ... because they are very open-ended and addictive.

    Try : Just Cause

    It's just like GTA, only it has better graphics and much more to do.

    Scarface is a pretty good game, reviews may not tell you so but since i played it i can honestly say it's a very good game, it has some original ideas and even tries to improve on the GTA-formula, and yeah as someone here said Mafia is terrific game, even by today's standars and i find it to be even better than the GTA games, can't wait for MAFIA 2....

    it runs maxed out on my laptop(C2D 7200, 2GB RAM, Go 7900gs), if you had no problems running just cause you won't have any problems running this one considering just cause is far more demanding than scarface..as for Mafia 2, i think late 2008 since no release date has been given yet.
