One of the most enjoyable games I've ever played (views may vary)

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

Childhood

Oh my god, so much nostalgia and lot of memories on this game. I remember the first game i ever played on my pc is this game. My first impression is how very amazing this game and looks so real. Until now i still loved this game and i never forget about the memories i had with this game.

Great evolution of TPS games.

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.

Happy 20th Anniversary to this game

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.

This game didn't break the mould

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.

Trivia
The 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.

Goofs
In 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 credits
After 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.
