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 go on vigilante missions. Grab a cab and play a deadly version of Crazy Taxi. Take a fire truck and 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
Note: This review refers to the PlayStation2 version of this game.
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

Goodfellas...with a pulse!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Grand Theft Auto 3 (CD-ROM)
In this game, you play a lowly thief, left for dead, but now you've been set free and with the right connections to mobsters, gang leaders, and corrupt business people, you can somehow manage to survive after stealing cars, running red lights, and doing whatever you have to do in order to survive.In GTA 3, if you look closely you can see a movie poster that says "Badfellas", obviously poking fun at the mafioso hit "Goodfellas". Well, in this you're a psychotic, murdering nut job looking to survive by any means necessary. It's just like "Goodfellas", with a pulse! On a serious note, the stylish story line only adds to the many games that Rockstar has written up. The quarky characters, revenge-driven protagonist, and amazing idea of succeeding in crime or just running a muck...it goes beyond words. I'm just an average H.S. student, but I'll tell you one thing that doesn't take much thought...in comparison to Vice City, Manhunt, and Midnight Club, this is one of the only original concepts I've seen come out of Rockstar Games. I love their work, but to me it seems Midnight Club is to Fast and the Furious as Manhunt is to the Running Man...and ultimately Vice City is to Scarface and Miami Vice. Now if you want a good storyline in a Rockstar, ultra violent game, go with GTA 3, Max Payne, Max Payne 2, or the upcoming Red Dead Revolver. THE ONLY FAULT I COULD FIND IN THIS GAME IS THAT I DON'T KNOW WHO THIS MAIN CHARACTER IS? WHAT DO I CALL HIM? FIDO? That's what made Vice City just a little bit better, a humanized character, not just a emotionless, ruthless, killer in a leather jacket. IF I WANTED THAT I COULD HAVE BOUGHT TERMINATOR 3, RISE OF THE MACHINES.
