This game,Grand Theft Auto III is deffinatly great and has LESS glitches then Grand Theft Auto Vice City & San Andreas and them 2 games are even newer a great 2D to 3D jump and a very good start.
Story Line:Your Charicter(remains unnamed) arrives at Liberty City bank in a Banshee sports car armed and it happens to be that Catalina(Cartel Head) is with Miguel(the 2nd best head of the Cartel) and is also robbing the bank you turn around and "BANG!" she shoots you and escapes with the stolen money that you requested for and you are at the back of a S.W.A.T. van with 2 men 8Ball and the Oriental Gentleman as well as a Copper but the Colombian Cartel hold up the van to kidnap the oriental Gentleman and gives you and 8-Ball a chance to escape and then the Callaghan Bridge blows up leaving Portland disconnected from the rest of Liberty City because 1)The Calaghan bridge is destroyed 2)the sub-road is still being built 3)the subway has shut down for a while and you are stuck with the L1-Mafia to give you work to pass time and the Diablos keep an eye on you until they contact you for work and the LC Triads start of not caring about you and then they hate you for destroying there trademark properties that include the LC launderette and the
"Belly-Up" Fish company.
GRAPHICS:7/10:The graphics are a bit cheasy but has less glitched then Vice City and San Andreas and are good for its release year,2001.
SOUND:The sound is great with 9 Radio Stations in every car except for Police,Ambulance and Fire Trucks ect. and the voice acting is great 9/10
StoryLine:8/10:A Great story line but its 2 short.
Comparrisants9for the time 1)GTAIII 2)Driver 2 3)World Scariest Police Chases(in my oppinion)
FAMILY:The GTA series in clude Grand Theft Auto 1 w/GTA London GTA2,GTAIII,GTA:Vice City,GTA:San Andreas,(still mor to come i hope)
Future Predictions:GTAIII,GTA:V.C. & GTA;S.A. are all set on the 3 cities from GTA1(Liberty,Vice City and San Andreas) and the possibilities of ROCKSTAR-games making there next GTA(If) they might make an other city to shoot there next GTA into or they might set it in London(i think this because of GTA1 s Expansion pack is set in London) i hope they set it in London though because it will be a newer culture of crime different cops,different cars and i hope this is the case it won`t probably be in a real-like London like in The GetaWay,more of a fictional London because most of the features in a GTA game are made-up like the Cars,gangs ect. and if the next GTA is in London they won`t have licenced cars because GTA isn`t like that and i hope they have not ran out of ideas for an other GTA game so if you GTA fans want them to make another GTA game send RockStar your ideas of an other explosive GTA.9I DON`T CARE IF YOU DISAGREE with me because it my oppinion)
Bye!

In this game, you play a lowly thief, left for dead, but now you've been set free and with the right connections to mobsters, gang leaders, and corrupt business people, you can somehow manage to survive after stealing cars, running red lights, and doing whatever you have to do in order to survive.
In GTA 3, if you look closely you can see a movie poster that says "Badfellas", obviously poking fun at the mafioso hit "Goodfellas". Well, in this you're a psychotic, murdering nut job looking to survive by any means necessary. It's just like "Goodfellas", with a pulse!
On a serious note, the stylish story line only adds to the many games that Rockstar has written up. The quarky characters, revenge-driven protagonist, and amazing idea of succeeding in crime or just running a muck...it goes beyond words.
I'm just an average H.S. student, but I'll tell you one thing that doesn't take much thought...in comparison to Vice City, Manhunt, and Midnight Club, this is one of the only original concepts I've seen come out of Rockstar Games. I love their work, but to me it seems Midnight Club is to Fast and the Furious as Manhunt is to the Running Man...and ultimately Vice City is to Scarface and Miami Vice. Now if you want a good storyline in a Rockstar, ultra violent game, go with GTA 3, Max Payne, Max Payne 2, or the upcoming Red Dead Revolver.
THE ONLY FAULT I COULD FIND IN THIS GAME IS THAT I DON'T KNOW WHO THIS MAIN CHARACTER IS? WHAT DO I CALL HIM? FIDO? That's what made Vice City just a little bit better, a humanized character, not just a emotionless, ruthless, killer in a leather jacket. IF I WANTED THAT I COULD HAVE BOUGHT TERMINATOR 3, RISE OF THE MACHINES.
FUN+

Opened up a new line of genre, very unique gameplay and expansive environment. But riddled with glitches and imperfections. Enough so, to make this very frustrating. Almost seems impossible at times. Fun for a few hours, but afterwards i wouldnt ever play it again. Not worth the money.
ROCKSTAR ROCKS WITH "Grand Theft Auto 3"

Never before have I been able to follow a games outline or go out on your own and just have fun. Crash cars, steal any type of auto, even police cars and military tanks. Run over, mame, and kill all padestrains in your way on the streets, side walks, and mostly any where you can get to them. You know, what you feel like doing every day during rush hour, but can't? Watch out mame to many and the cops are after you. Great fun trying to elude them. You certainly can take out a lot of fustrations. Some easy tasks and some hard tasks to do for mob bosses and the like. Even pick up a hooker or two. Watch your health metter rise. Some adult language and racey remarks. Suited for the "M" rating it carries. Played the PS2 version for some time now and haven't gotten tired of it. In fact I liked it so well I just had to pre-order the PC version. My son is getting tired of me barrowing his PS2. Won't go wronge with this one. In vest in some fun.

I first bought this game for the PC having no idea about the game. When I hit some one with the baseball bat, I was shocked; I couldn't believe you could just run around and kill people. As harsh as that sounds, it's just a game, and a fun one at that. The missions are really good, and it seems that every inch of land has some use to it. The do-what-ever-you-want style game play is very cool. One of the best features of this game is the gang fights, they just randomly occur when the two different gang members see each other, and from then it's an all out war.
The plot of the game is that you were robbing a bank with your girlfriend and when you get the loot and are about to escape she shoots you. You end up going to jail, but on the way their some gang members stop your convoy and take one of the members back and blow up some of the bridge your on. You and another guy named 8-ball grab a car and he tells you to drive to a safe house, were you can store one car and were you can save your game, and get a baseball bat. After you get to the safe house 8-ball tells you to go to this one guy's club named Luigi, and Luigi gives you a job, and your Mob work begins, and the story unfolds.
The great thing about this game is the twists and turns, one minute this is going on the next this is. I recommend this game if you about 13 years old and you like cars, guns, and fast paced game play. Grand Theft Auto III is great and I can't wait for Grand Theft Auto IV to come out.
BEST GAME EVER!

I own this game for playstation2, and when I got it, i couldn't stop playing it. I love this game for ps2, but for Pc it's better,just in terms of graphics, which I will say are awesome forPc. I will say one thing, the character models are just a little bit to cartoonish. This Game is very adicting, so rent it first. This game rules in terms of graphics,sound,gameplay, and replay value. Advice to all younger gamers: DO NOT PALY OR RENT THIS GAME UNTIL YOU ARE 17 or older. GO ROCKSTAR!
