Rockstar Games Grand Theft Auto 3

When GTA3 dropped Oct.22, 2001 I remember it like when MTV aired Micheal Jackson's Thriller. It was a game my homies and I had been anticipating for a long time! And with the tragedy that had happened just the month before....We wondered if it'd drop. But, it did! And the day it dropped one of my closest homies (who was also a co-worker) called in sick that day. GTA 3 originally was exclusive to PS2. Which pissed me off, cause I had a Dreacast (& GTA2 among my games). This game was the reason why I bougt a PS2 shortly after this game dropped....Playing DVD's was fine. But GTA3 was thee S**t!!! The game was revolutonairy for it's open world enviornment. The games world actually mimmicked real world....It'd go from day to night. It'd get rainy or foggy. People (AI) walking down streets would just randomly mug other AI's or jack them for their car! You could pick up "street walkers", carry a variety of weapons. Ranging from bats,pistols,shot guns,sniper rifles,fully automatics,flame thrower,molotove,gernades, & RPG's! You could sniperPeople, rob people, do missions (including vigilante missions). Or my favorite....Just mess around in an open world. You could drive various cars, trucks, buses, ambulance, cop car, fire truck, a tank, & even a ride w/ hydrollics!!! Sure the game isn't as awesome now in comparissum to it's sequals & some other new games. But for it's time it was the new standard for gaming! And it's still a classic game like Super Mario Bros,Sonic 1,2,& 3, Altred Beast,Metroid,ect.... Still fun to play on occasion in my opinion. And can look a lot better played on modern LCD,Plasma,LED TV's w/ the HD cables for PS2!!! I recommend this game to anyone that had it years ago,anyone who plays the newer GTA's or Saint Rows, This is the grandfather of the current gen games of this genre...Respect the elders,lmao!

It was the first grand theft auto that wasn't just a top down view. Its the one that started all the controversy. It was set in the 1990s. The new version has been censored and some of the gameplay mechanics have changed. Like now you have to use gps instead the paper map that came with the game. Also a big one was if you die during a mission you can start over with all your guns. Not in the original. After researching this is not actually the original version. This one was edited after 9/11. I mean take cover and shoot police helicopters down from a parking deck. Work for local gangs. Pick up prostitutes. A lot of the humor in this game is American satire. Some of which applies more today. "Now I can surf the internet while driving or at my daughter piano recital." It was literally a joke back then. Just recently this game that people paid for was removed from their steam account and replaced with the watered down, I mean improved, version. We don't need the Mona Lisas teeth whitened

I like the sealed copy didn’t like it was not a 2001 copy but not mad about it

An OK video game. If you played one of these Grand Theft Auto games, then you have played them all. Mainly purchased just to see what all the "controversy" was pertaining to these games. Played a few of the GTA games and they are the same: you are a THUG and you go around doing thuggish things. Gets pretty boring running around the streets and bashing innocent peoples heads in with a baseball bat just because you cannot make very much money accomplishing missions. However, I really do enjoy exploring the towns/countryside!! Some of the best free-world experience/movement in any game. Purchased via Amazon and game was delivered a few days earlier than promised. Game arrived in great shape. Game gets 3 stars primarily for the free-world experience/movement, otherwise same ole repetitious stuff as in all GTA games.

Grand Theft Auto III is a great game, filled with action & cars, cars, cars. You just run around Liberty City & complete missions. If you like a more laid-back type of game, this is definitely for you. But, just be cautious when you buy a used disc. I bought GTA III used in "lightly scratched" condition & when I got it, the disc had very heavy lines on it, & I had to buy a used disc from a local gaming store because I couldn't play it because of the condition of it.

I used to play Grand Theft Auto 3 years ago when I was a kid. Years later, I had gotten a Playstation 2 and I've been wanting to find this game again to enjoy old times. It's BRAND NEW wrapped in the clear plastic. And what is nice is that it is cheap. So this is a really good deal especially when it new. No scratches, no problems. Just perfect. Thanks guys!

I got this game to replace my sons game after my nephew chewed on the other one! My son is 14 and this is an "older" game as far as he is concerned! However, i play this game with him and I laugh and laugh! I can relieve my stress by running people over purposefully! Its great! Of course this is only a game and with the game you can do things where you could NEVER do in real life!!!! lol

This is for someone who loves the video game and was purchased for the person. I cannot answer any further questions about the game other than the person likes it and there wasn't anything wrong with it.
