Product Description
From Amazon.com
With Grand Theft Auto III, Rockstar proves that not all developers are concerned with toning down the violence in their games. This sequel is even more bloody, violent, and sadistic than its popular predecessors, offering up an enormous 3-D city in which nearly any criminal act is possible. Players are free to steal cars, beat up the local population for their money (or weapons), make time with prostitutes, or simply roam to their heart's content. Those seeking more structure can embark on dozens of plot-driven missions or steal cars that let them play minigames. Nab a cop car and you can go on vigilante missions. Grab a cab and you can play a deadly version of Crazy Taxi. Take a fire truck and you can earn money putting out fires. The game just never gets boring.
As in real life, there are consequences for your criminality. As your random acts of mayhem mount up, the police start hounding you, eventually calling in SWAT trucks, the FBI, and even the army if you continue down the path of destruction. Shaking these pursuers is easily the most fun part of the game, especially when a bunch of friends are packed in the room to witness your narrow escapes.
Grand Theft Auto III is fine-tuned to near perfection in every category. All the vehicles, from slick sports cars to lumbering dump trucks, handle exactly as you'd expect and smash apart realistically when abused. The three islands in the game are rendered in terrific detail considering their size, and are packed with traffic, pedestrians, and hidden jumps. The audio is equally amazing. Pedestrians talk, cops scream at you, and you can tune in nine different radio stations whenever you are in a car. It all adds up to a monumental achievement: the rare console game for adults that manages to get everything right. --T. Byrl Baker
Pros:
- Offers an enormous world for players to exploit, rendered in staggering detail
- Equally fun whether you go on plot-based missions or run around as a freelance crook
- Ultraviolence, foul language, and adult situations mean you'll want to keep this far away from kids
- It takes too long to get from one island to another, making some missions tedious
Amazon.ca Product Description
You've been betrayed and left for dead. Now you're taking revenge, unless the city gets you first. Mob bosses need a favor, crooked cops need help, and street gangs want you dead. You'll have to rob, steal, and kill just to stay out of serious trouble. Anything can happen out here. Grand Theft Auto III features a fully 3-D living city, a combination of narrative-driven and nonlinear gameplay, and a completely open environment.
Players are put at the heart of their very own gangster movie, in which anything can happen and probably will. With a cast of hundreds, 50-plus vehicles--including sports cars, ice-cream trucks, boats, and buses--three hours of music, (including opera, reggae, house, drum and bass, pop, and disco), a huge array of street-ready weapons, and some of the seediest characters in video game history, Grand Theft Auto III is a sprawling epic that will show you that sometimes crime can pay, and that sometimes it pays you back.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The game that changed the world!,
By Frank Ponce "Movie Mavin" (Norwalk, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Grand Theft Auto III (Video Game)
When "Grand Theft Auto 3" first debuted in October 2001, almost every American (including the world) were shaken up from the aftermath of 9/11. This game wasn't an instant hit; it slowly became a blockbuster after a huge word of mouth from gamers and especially from the news who argued that "GTA 3" was the most violent game ever. What they didn't know was that since they complained about it, more people listened to the hype and it became a video game icon.It revolutionized the industry, it caused backlash from parents, made kids play it despite censors, and simply made video games fun again. I don't know how many hours I played this game, but it was alot! Everybody knows that you play a criminal, who roams around Liberty City, steals cars, works for various gangs, beat and kill pedestrians, do many missions and make the police very mad! It just sounds great, doesn't it? There is also many weapons and cars to choose from. Liberty City is amazing to look at; every detail in the game is almost realistic. And the audio and music soundtrack is perfect. Although "GTA: Vice City" was a better game overall, there's still a reason to play this "GTA 3". It was a radical new departure in video gaming, and no other game will make that such an impact ever again.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Repetive and graphically unsound,
By A Customer
This review is from: Grand Theft Auto III (Video Game)
This game is ground breaking. I will give you that. It is however very repetitive after awhile. You can only kill so many innocent people before it gets quite boring.I am not sure why people rave about the graphics. They looked dated when this game came out, and look even worse now. The PC version is clearly better in this department.
