GTA:VC two different versions? UK vs. US?

I just read a post from a "friend" in Scotland that read's like this,

"Vice City/ Americans Must be pissed ...hehe
My friend got a copy of the American version of the game from a contact at Rockstar and it was PANTS!! compared to the Uk version Mainly because they have cut out many of the weapons and aerial vehicles for obvious reasons. There are also more cars in the Uk version and on top of that the cars are more sports car orientated in the Uk version, like it has a PORCHE! carrera ...hehe There is better music and more to do and the Uk version is also much MUCH MORE! violent...lol I'm not sure if thats a good thing but in my opinion the Uk got the better deal"


not sure what's up with the "pants" comment but could anyone offer any further insight to his claims on the subject??

Much More Violent? I don't even want to imagine.

More Aerial vehicles? Consider how all the planes fly like crap they can keep them.

There seems to be a bit more blood.. and the fact you can chop heads with the Katana blade and do head shots would make it "much more violent" in this game then the last. I doubt there is a difference. Normally for UK, Germany, Italy and France the blood is Green ... hehe

Isn't it a halloween tradition to put pants in a paper bag, put it on someone's porch, light it on fire, ring the doorbell, and run away?

seems like 99% US based users here so probably no one has sat down with both UK and US copies to truly see if there is any difference....

Hes full of crap. If anything the UK version will be cut down. Look at the amount of dvds over there that are cut. Hey even Attack of the Clones is cut over there to get a PG rating. Its a 2 second cut where obi wan head buts jango fett.
Alls I can say is he is
FULL OF S**T
