It has been correctly noted that I'm getting a bit...worked up...about Vice City. But hoping that you are as well, I point you toward this spoiler-laden thread in the IGN forums, where questions were answered pell-mell by IGN and Rockstar folks.

The high points: the whole city is NOT open at the beginning; according to the Rockstar rep answering questions, there are no current plans for a PC version; hidden packages are back; no spike strips!; 4-5 different helicopters; pizza boy delivery missions(!); the game supports widescreen and DTS.
