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

Cons:

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 Can't wait till San Andreas, Oct. 19, Jul 13 2004

By	T. Sparfeld (Miami, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the classic Sony Playstation 2 video game. No other game is as much fun to pick up and play. Although I took some time off, I finally finished all the missions.

In this game, you play an ex-con who acts as a criminal free agent around the three-part town called Liberty City. As you work for rival crime bosses and gang leaders, you earn money by completing each mission.

The entertainment of the game is its sheer amount of freedom. If you are not ready to try to complete each mission, you are free to roam around the city at will, stealing cars, collecting hidden packages, even making money as a cab driver, firefighter, or "vigilante cop."

Although the graphics could be a little better and I hate the aiming system for some of the weapons, the game is ultimate fun. There is a reason that this game is so popular, despite its main criticism.

GTA3 has been derided continuously for its mature rating and questionable moral code. In the video game, your character increases his health by hiring prostitutes, and can get away with killing cops and innocent civilians. Because of this, GTA3 is NOT for kids to play. I'm always surprised to find too many young kids playing this game.

All that being said, GTA3 is not as horrible as it may sound. All of the characters you are required to kill are criminals (there is a one dirty cop or two) and lawless thugs. Crimes against innocent civilians could get you arrested. I don't think the game gives any impression that crime pays.

I strongly recommend GTA3 (as well as GTA: Vice City). It's a fun game, and has many side-missions and games which can keep you entertained for a LONG time.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Father of Vice City, all that needs to be said., Jul 11 2004

By	Patriot95 - See all my reviews

This game was revolutionary and broke ground that no video game had ever even tried. The missions are fun and challenging. There is unprecedented freedom to do whatever you want. Even the town is cool enough to want to explore. You get an ora, an ambiance that did not exist in video games before. One of the Greatest video games of all time by far.
