I'm only giving it a 2 instead of a 1 because it did change GTA |
| Super Gaijin from Charlottetown, PEI says (12/Dec/2003): |
It's still a bad game, though. It's fun for the first little while, and then you realize just how limited you are. The city feels a little small and the missions are repetitive. There's no shooting out tires and so therefore 60% of the getaway strategy (or 90% of the fun factor) is taken away. It also gets rid of a lot of drama in the chases and firefights.
When you're flying 90 mph down a straight road and the cops blow out your tires with a spike strip, suddenly slowing you down to almost a crippled speed. You have to suddenly maneuver the vehicle with much more care, sometimes having to simply bail out and cut your losses, or do the same to the cops. Shoot out their tires and try for the getaway. See, these things can cause sudden swings in momentum for either side and can also level the playing field.
Also, there's no motorcycles in GTA 3 so that put it down the drain for me. There's nothing more fun to escape the FBI with than a dirtbike and some narrow alleyways, sharp turns, and sudden breaks in separators along the wider roads.
All there is to get away in in GTA3 is the cop car basically, most of the other vehicles are too slow or have poor handling.
Vice City is a million times better, just skip over 3 and go on over to VC.

Gta3 is Game of the Century material |
| Mimic (Future Pro-Wrestling Superstar) from San Bernardino, CA, USA says (31/May/2003): |
GTA3 is the best game ever made. I played Vice City before GTA3, and VIce City just doesn't compare. The only things Vice City has better are the graphics and the fact that you can jump out of the car while driving. Other than that GTA3 is way better. Game of the friggin Century, Man.

best PS2 game ever |
| tom from wolverhampton. england says (9/Oct/2003): |
as most did i started my PS2 gaming with gran turismo and thought there could be none better, none were, none that is untill this, it rocks! i love driving really fast the wrong way down a busy road and swerving from the cars, i love doing drivebys and gunning ppl down with machine guns or popping ppls headsfrom rooves with a sniper rifle, i am a delutioned child because of this game and grow up to kill ppl and be evil! sue me! anyway, its better than Vice City, slow cars and crap bosses, i love the bosses on GTA 3, they have a personality, love the way tonys mom takes the piss all the time and love the way asuka is a japanese lesbian mobster (nuff said) i play this still, 3 yrs on and i love it! i love finding hidden packages all over again after iv'e forgotten where they are from a previous save, i love making cops chase me and watch them skid off course and fall in the sea, i love gettin a 3 star felony and blowing up helicopters with a rocket launcher, i love killing gangsters on missions, i love gettin to the pay n' spray to get away from cops, i love compiling expensive cars like the infurnus and leaving them in my many garages across the 3 islands, i love stealing coloumbian cartel cars and uzi'ing the driver and all his little crappy friends with sily hats. I LOVE THIS GAME!!

it's an excellent game i play it for hours |
| VIDEO GAME FREAK from massechusetts, USA says (8/Aug/2003): |
This game rocks people say that they get sick of it because there are so many missions. I think because it has a lot of missions it makes it a good game. It's better when a game is challenging. I also think a lot of missions are good because they make the game exciting. It's exciting to see what kind of a mission you will have next. If you just went around killing people and did nothing else after a while you would get bored. The game does have a lot of violence to it but that's what the people like. If theres no other way to entertain them other than killing cops,doing violent whack jobs for the mafia, having sex with prostitutes, and killing prostitutes then just keep the violence going.

Best game ever on Playstation 1 or 2 |
| David from Dublin ,Ireland says (7/Aug/2002): |
GTA3 is a major improvement on Versions 1 and 2 as it includes first person views and ground level views as well as the standard overhead view.
You can choose to do the Missions or instead you can just take your chances and attack the poor innocent civilians and the police officers who try and arrest you.
There is so much to this game : You can drive a car through the three islands, you can hijack an ambulance,police car or fire engine and get involved in a bit of role playing !
All in all, this game works on so many levels.I purchased the game in February 2002 and literally didn't complete it until July 2002.I am still playing it and finding out the cheats available.
I cant wait for the arrival of GTA : Vice City in a few months time either !

I don't Know |

this game is fun like i really suck at it but i like to just kill people specially the gay fagits who say "call the Y M C A"

A major break through, better than GTA 2! |
| Sean Stiles from Clatskanie, OR says (2/Mar/2003): |
Well, the game it self is great. It has all the cheats you could possibly want along with a great story line. The game itself I think is more difficult than Grand Theft Auto Vice City. So to speak not so relastic to The Getaway. I liked the game because it was on a good sale when I got it which was just two days ago. I think this game can be just for any one. Yes even the little kids. Thanks again station play and RockStar games for making my thoughts possible!

Crazzzzzy Game Boys n Girls |
| MaDeINiTaLy from Melbourne - Australia says (7/Jun/2003): |
I havent played this game in ages (GTA3) but got sick acouple of days ago, so for the last few days i have been playin it flat stick again... I had 4gotten how good it was ;) The gameplay are excellent, as 2 the graphics. I wish it where that easy to steal cars and make fast cash in real life!!! HeHe
But the only thing i dont like in the game are the cops... they are too soft. You can gun it past them, run over ppl and they dont do anything... But the minute u run into there car they are all over you. HeHE ohh well what can ya do.

Sorry not that great to GTAVC (This game is old school!) |
| A gamer from Pikmin World says (21/Jan/2004): |
Well its pretty good but GTA3 Vs GTAVC Vice city would throw GTA3 in the air and blow it up but in GTA3 you can go on subway and go against triads the triads are cool this game would be a 8/10 but poor GTA3 when vice city came to the block there isnt much to say the games pretty good but Vice City is better dont get me wrong though this game is pretty good but the story mode and all these different weirdos you do missions for is weird and Tommy Vercetti doesnt talk at ALL in the game how lamb is that but I'd say this game deserves a 6/10 from me sorry whoever likes this game but I really thing GTAVC Is a whole lot better Well Its ok I like how you can have the subway and get ran over but there are some glitches like when I killed a cop he came back to life even when I shot his head off well I guess Thats All! This game deserves a 6/10 from me maybe not from you but from me So dont make reviews yelling at ME!

Listen up!!! |
| a gamer from california from compton california LA says (3/Jul/2003): |
This isn't as good as GTA:VC. But nothing is as good as the series to it, I guess. I like the way that you can do things like get on the cops nerves and everything, but I like it better on GTA:VC where, it is not just a game that you have missions. You can just do normal things like take a persons money and go by a gun with it. Ofcourse, Grand Theft Auto VC does have missions but when I got on it to play it, it was just going around hitting people. WEll I think I said more about grand theft auto vc then grand theft auto three because it is not a great game.

A Great example of a North - South game... |
| John from New York, USA says (28/Apr/2003): |
What do I mean by a North-South game? Basically it's saying that you'll either love it, or hate it. The problem with this game is that the gameplay is not what keeps you playing for hours: it's just what you can do during the game. Half the people who own the game probably have never beat the game, and about 95% of people who own this game has used cheats. The graphics on this game are alright, nothing spectacular. There seems to be a plethera of cars, but after an hour, you realize that there's actually a huge lack of diversity. Plus, everyone uses the Banshee anyway. What I really liked about the game is that the maps become your own neighborhood. The islands are great, but they could be much larger, and could utilize more areas. There are some parts on the maps that I've been on maybe once. Overall, this game is okay. Nothing spectacular, but if you just like destroying things, killing people, and causing trouble, then this game is for you. Either that, or you have some serious low self-esteem problems. By the way, Vice City isn't much better: it only has a real storyline, and Ray Liotta does the voice of the main character. There are better games out there.

A great game... a truly great game. |
| A gamer from Eugene, Oregon, U.S.A. says (3/Jun/2003): |
I gave this 8 stars. Why? Because 9 and 10 indicate perfection, and while this game was beautifully done, it isn't perfect. But it's damn close, that's for sure... The graphincs, damage effects, sound, weapons, etc. of this game are incredible, and the gameplay is great as well. The storyline is fairly good, though I kind of shun it simply because I'm more of the type of person who goes on rampages, hitting cars and hapless pedestrians to see how many stars I can get without getting wasted or busted. For my style of play, I say screw the fast cars and give me a military flatbead truck. Or a tour bus... ;-) It's quite amusing watching as your tour bus smashes through blockade after blockade without changing course or even slowing that much...

Not impressed |
| Nick Plante Corey from Rawdon Quebec says (21/May/2003): |
When people say that tv desnsitizes young people to violance and then they play GTA 3 the huge hypocrites .This is the kind of game that has a bad outlook on the world you dont go killing people and prostitutes its not the way to give entertainment.
