Featured reviews
To put it simply, Grand Theft Auto 3 is one of the very best video games, or any form of entertainment for that matter, ever made.
You've probably heard about how graphically violent this game is, and there's certainly no denying it. People (criminals, gang members, cops, pedestrians, etc.) can be murdered in a variety of entertaining ways, but GTA3 isn't about mindless mayhem. The game is actually story driven, and that, combined with awesome gameplay (driving being a main factor of course) is what really puts it over the top. It's quite an experience as you rise through the ranks from petty Jack-of-all-trades thug-for-hire to a millionaire. Chock full of tons of fun missions, from carjacking to assassinations to body disposal and anything else your employer needs you to do.
Enough of my pretentious praise though. If you haven't played Grand Theft Auto 3 yet, what are you waiting for?!

Superior big game with real good graphics. The game has cons but this was one of the biggest games of its time. And its story is also real good mafia story. It may deserve 10 points but I thought 9 is better for this game. I'm but it has real gloomy air. It is good someways but with dark weather and blur effect it becomes a terrible looking visual.
Grand Theft Auto 3 is a violent, no holds barred (with cheats of course), racist and audacious video game. While people who have a taste for these video games will enjoy it more than others who don't, I think that's the point. But for all ages, big or small, tiny or large, black or white even, this is reccomended if you have PS2- worth it alone for the radio. A
Twenty years ago today, Grand Theft Auto 3 came out for the PlayStation 2 and I really hope that this game gets remastered for the PlayStation 4 and maybe the PlayStation 5 today or soon.

It destroyed all the previous ones.
This game is one of the true landmarks on gaming.
Grand Theft auto was a superb gaming idea hobbled by the lack of computer power. Don't get me wrong the 2D versions was really fun but I'm sure that everyone who played it realised that the first attempt at sandbox innovation needed something more.
Then after fading away for a few years I heard on the internet about GTA III. OMG I thought, "what the hell is this" Then I watched one of the first 3D trailers and I was hooked by just the idea of a true 3D GTA game.
GTA III is a truly groundbreaking game, it has lifted gaming to a new level and laid down a standard to gamers that developers have been chasing ever since.
This game might be dated but it will forever hold it's place at a true innovation in gaming that will be remembered for a very long time .

- TriviaThe main character of this game, Claude, does not say a single word throughout the entire game, though you can hear him grunting when he falls after jumping and groaning if he ends up drowning in the river. Rockstar Games later admitted that the decision of a non-speaking character was made so that the player could identify more with him.
- GoofsIn the mission "Under Surveillance", Asuka's dialogue doesn't match the subtitles in every other version except PS2. The script was changed to the FBI and the subtitles don't reflect this. In the mobile version, the Mafia subtitles were changed to the FBI, but the other lines still don't match.
- Quotes
Pedestrian: Yep, I've been drinkin' again.
- Crazy creditsAfter the screen fades to black, Maria bickers over breaking her nail. A gunshot is heard and we are left with the impression that "Silent Guy" has shot her.
- Alternate versionsThe iOS and Android versions have enhanced models and textures from the Xbox version and a map.
