THE GOOD:
Everything about this game is great, one of the very few games that lets you free roam an entire city using; cars, trains, boats. A great story and a legendary mute character.

THE BAD:
Nothing much to say here, mabye how you only get ten weapons, but you really can not complain about that, when all you realy need is ten, and each one does it's job perfectly.

SUMMARY:
This game will go down in gaming history, it is one of the best games ever made. You follow the story of Claude (Fido) Speed, a mute nameless character (until GTA 2 and GTA: San Andreas, help us find out his real name), who has been betrayed by his very ex girlfriend, she puts two bullets in your face, but you manage to survive, but things get worse when you are facing time in prison, anyway, you manage to escape the friendly services of the police and make a new friend. You now have a whole city to explore, Liberty City, the worst place on earth, and can blame it, car...

THE GOOD:
Innovative, fairly well executed, beleivable, nice cheat codes

THE BAD:
Realism problems, among other things

SUMMARY:
Aside from Mario and Pokemon, Grand Theft Auto is the biggest gaming phenomenon of all time. Gamers are rabid about it. Critics praise it at every turn. Celebrities like Dave Chappelle and Redman name-drop it. Policitians like our good buddy Joe Lieberman damn it to hell. But is GTA III, the game that started it all, worth the hype?

In a word, no. It's a solid game, but it by no means deserves the Gold Award EGM gave it when it first came out. You play as a faceless crook who escaped from prison, and wants to revive his career in organized crime. This means waging war with rival gangs, doing driving and shooting missions (among others), avoiding the police, and optional missions to earn some extra cash.

First, the good stuff: The game itself is enormous and sprawling, spanning 3 well-designed city...

THE BAD:
Shooting
Will you play this nowadays?

SUMMARY:
Grand Theft Auto 3 is the first Grand Theft Auto game to reach the Playstation 2. It started of on the PC and was good. But now has the progressed any further?

Yes, of course it has. The biggest change is the fact you now have 3D graphics rather than those chunky 2D graphics. You now play in a third-person perspective and you can get a better feel of the city and the random violence.

It Grand Theft Auto 3 you play as a mute character named as... I don't know. His name is never actually mention but people say he is Claude, Fido or even Grand Theft Auto: Vice City's main character, Tommy Vercetti.
He is just about ok as a main character but the that he doesn't talk can irritating at times.

In Grand Theft Auto 3 you pick up missions from various people. These missions may...

THE GOOD:
Good weapons
Rag Doll effect cheat kicks ass

THE BAD:
I don't like the environment, I don't know why. I just don't find it as moving as SA or VC.
I don't like the cars.
I don't like the storyline at all.
The soundtrack is awful.

SUMMARY:
I think they made this into a test run cause the game really wasn't that good at all. It did envolve into something great today, but this particular GTA I didn't like.

The city - Liberty City - it looks a bit like New York. Now, you'd expect me to like it since I'm a mark for people, movies, and games that take place or come from New York. But I just didn't like the environment. It didn't really have..excitment. I don't know how to explain it.
Now the storyline, you start off as the typical guy with no name and no tounge. So yeah, it gets kinda boring when your guy doesn't talk. I silent but violent character is good, but no talking gets boring.
The storyline, it's just...

THE GOOD:
Pretty good graphics. Very long story, and somewhat decent setting.

THE BAD:
Awful soundtrack, Autos and other mobiles are definitely unrealistic when it comes to handling and everything. Glitches.

SUMMARY:
There is no question that GTA III is a definite one to own in really anybodys collection, although it didn't belong in mine. In my opinion this is really just another shoot-em'-up, beat-em'-up game that has been done too many times to count. The graphics are absolutely fantastic, but too many glitches, and too quick of a time stretch hurts this game in many ways. Even though there is a wide selection of radio stations that suits most genres, some of the songs are awful, and the commercials are ridiculous. Some really ridiculous missions as well. GTA3 is a worthy game to pick up and rent, but I don't think this would be a smart idea to buy.

THE GOOD:
The Missions : Were brillant and kept me glued to the game.
The Characters : Were brillant need i say more !!1
A jezz what am i talking about the eintire game was unbelievable !!!

THE BAD:
Nothing at all

SUMMARY:
Well i think you wouldnt find a person alive to this day trying to bash this game . If there was a guy i'd murder him because this game is still from the day i bought is THE BEST GAME I HAVE !!!!! The storyline was brillant with the missions from working with the mafia to being be trade and becoming a marked man by everyone ! The graphics were class as was the rest of the game . The controls were simple and easy to work with , The radio stations were pure comedy and fun to listen to ! I really dont know what to say about this game either than it is a masterpiece and will go down in history as a seriously brillant game !

THE GOOD:
New 3D world done very well
Missions
Tons of things to do besides the missions

THE BAD:
A few annoying glitches that can prevent 100% completion

SUMMARY:
GTA III was the first Grand Theft Auto game to be done in 3D instead of the old top-down view. Some people, including myself, were sceptical about just how well this transition would work out. As it turns out, it was done extremely well and this game turned out to work very well and was highly enjoyable.

The game starts out with your character (dubbed Fido by many) being transported over a bridge by the police when an explosion destroys the bridge and sets you free. You are then given a simple task of driving to a location with another person to start you off in the GTA world. Not an exciting first mission but it does allow you to get a good feel of the way the game handles. Soon though you move onto bigger and better crimes.

As far as weapons go you only find...

THE GOOD:
At the time, the graphics were second to none, the sheer size of Liberty City was huge and bumbling as an actual city would, and the game caught the daily miserable gripes of the people in it. The missions were creative, stylish and even had betrayals, which was flat-out awesome. Also, the outside of Story missions were fun to do, Taxi, Firetruck and Police missions were some of them. The music is still some of theb est I have ever heard in any game. Overall one of the greatest games of all time.

THE BAD:
GLITCHY! So many glithces, so little space. I remember falling trough blue hell, heard of Dodo's who made it to the city in the sky, a lot of unfinished places in the game. The story was also a bit side-winded, and the gangs who hate you would always shoot at you.

SUMMARY:
My nephew introduced me to this game in 2001. At the time, I was against the Grand Theft auto series, and wrote it off as a passing fad. Little did I know I would...

THE GOOD:
a lot of things

THE BAD:
some things

SUMMARY:
for the first 3-D GTA game was a huge sucess it had everthing that was so awsome. It was mouth dropping. Well your fido who got in jail and was traveling on the bridge in a transport police vehicle but then the bridge blows up and you escape with another guy his name is 8-ball and you go to your first place luigi's club and thats where you get started. So this game has everything you go on the streets and kill innocent peds or get a hooker and bang them and your health goes up. You have a vast choice of weaponary to kill. you go on a lot of missions and do different stuff for different leaders of gangs. Jacking cars and killing peds is everyday life to make money. The cars are awsome, the graphics are dull but thats how there are since there in the city. I have nothing else to say about it and overall this was the begining of the 3D GTA launch. It has started well and ended well.
