This game is not for use with children. Do not ingest. Emerging from the underworld, Grand Theft Auto 3 dares to set new levels of unflinching criminal behavior in a dark, ruthless video- game that never pretends to be anything buttruly adult entertainment. Make no mistake -- videogames have grown up, and GTA3 demonstrates that fully. Not only is the content severely mature -- how could a game putting you in the shoes of a mob gun-for-hire who has no qualms against hit orders, car jackings, or public use of heavy artillery not earn that "M" rating? -- but the game itself shows incredible leaps in production values to achieve that gritty reality. Hollywood talents such as Michael Rapaport, and Michael Madson give voice to the gangland thugs and Mafioso, while the PlayStation 2 super-charges GTA3s massive scale of crowded streets crammed with cars to steal. Liberty City is wide open to those who control it, and youre the kind of guy who makes his own key. In all seriousness, this game is rated "Mature" for a reason -- its not for those under 17. Otherwise, they dont get much hotter than GRAND THEFT AUTO 3 .. if they know whats good for them. * Crime - Liberty City is a complete physical universe with laws, rules, standards, ethics and morals. They are yours to shatter. - Over 80 gangland missions and loads of side missions. - Work your way through the hierarchy of the gangs, meet bigger bosses, get better jobs. - Multi-layered missions interweave story elements from level to level. - Revenge plot drives the player through the game, whilst ... | | | |

 Revolutionary. Nov 08, 2009
This first came out in the beginning of my second year of college (2001), and for the next 6 MONTHS, it was all my friends and I played. To call it simply "classic" would be a gross understatement. This one game changed everything about video games that we know today and spawned countless rip-off's. VERY strong argument for the greatest game ever produced.

A revolutionary game for its time; not so much fun now Sep 29, 2009
When GTA3 came out, I did not get around to it. Here I am, eight years after the fact coming back to it to see how it plays and compares with later games in the series.
It doesn't fare as well.
I'm an old enough gamer (28) to still appreciate how revolutionary this game was for its time, both gameplay and pushing the envelope on what they could get released for a console (unfortunately still branded as a child's toy by much of society). Still, the game is not much fun to play, even compared to its immediate successor Vice City.
For starters, navigating the city is itself un-fun. With no big map overview its hard to get oriented. Much of the landscape/architecture doesn't stand out, so I found myself navigaing by remembering road curves/intersection angles on the small immediate-area map. This is further hindered by objectives that you don't get to see where they are, only what direction they are in (until you're close enough to see them onscreen). Also, finding the Pay N Spray (While being hounded by the authorities) is difficult without any locational indicatord until you've been on an island for an hour or two to get familiar.
Many of the missions are simply not passable on the first try. They're not that diffcult in the end, but most will likely take 2+ tries to figure out exactly what you're doing. It usually has suprises like suddenly getting 5 stars wanted rating (or attacked by a half-dozen driving members of some gang) or suprise insta-killed by the FBI (or some other government people) abound. Ocasionally it reqires out of the box thinking to react to an event and kill someone before they can get away (ie you have to know to block a certain alley with a bus/fire truck to cutoff an escape route beforehand or else its almost impossible to catch up). The biggest fun-killer though is the constant aribtrary time limits that get thrown on the missons.
Bugs abound. I've had missions where targets become invincible, people I'm supposed to pick up in a vehcile don't appear, or they get stuck and stop following, or spawn inside a building/terrain feature and get stuck.
Still, the game has some good aspects that stand out even now. While the graphics are relatively bland, there is a lot going on and the game almost never hiccups or loses framerate. The voice acting is above average even for nowadays; it must have been spectacular 8 years ago. It's got that Rockstar polish...that touch of irreverant humor and good storytelling (even if its limited and your character has no personality; literally).
GTA3 was a great and revolutionary game when it came, and set the ground for not only sequels, but launched a new genre of game. The numerous improvements that have been made over the years though expose a lot of the gliches and problems in this one though. Unless you are bound and determined to play all of the GTA games like me (or have already played them) I recommend steering clear of this one and getting one of its successors.
GTA 3. Jul 08, 2009
This is a very fun and popular game but there r some reasons that i do not care for it. The graphics r not the best but this is a old game. It is very hard and sometimes the game glitches on it so it does not work completly right all of the time. It is fun to just run around and not do any of the missions that u r supposed to do because then u can get used to playing the game. The thing i hate is that there is really no menu so u cant really change anything. All that i do now is just mess around on it because it is more fun that way. It is the same thing as the others, u can steal anything cars tanks guns and do anything u want with them. It is not as good as GTA san andres but i still like it.
A kids Review 2 Jun 16, 2009
I wrote a review for vice city also you might want to check it out
This game is really fun and pretty cheap. It also has hours of fun in it too. The language is not too bad but bad. It is fun overall.
