This game is pretty awesome but heres a word of advice for everyone who's game is lagging go to options then display setup and then turn off the trails and fool around with the options. To make the game have better graphics change the screen resoulution to the highest possible.
Incredible!

This game is incredible. You run around stealing cars, and completing missions for cash. If you are seen by the cops, the chase is on, which is full of narrow escapes, that often cause your car to flip over, then explode. You can also become a police officer, a taxi driver, a paramedic, and more by stealing those cars. Violent, yet highly entertaining. I recommend it to those who are not disturbed by blood pouring out of bodies, or taking the property of others.
SOME OF THE BEST GAMES I HAVE EVER SEEN!

Rockstar has made GTA3 the most perfected game EVER. It is one game with infinite replay value. I mean it's like 50 games in one. Hop into a taxi, play crazy taxi(but crazier), hop into an ambulence, do hospital missions, hop into a firetruck, police car and missions ect. ect. You can work for ANYBODY you wish. Plus the ENORMOUS levels to explore and to reck havoc amungst. BUY THIS GAME NOW!!!!! FOR ANY PLATFORM!!!!! NOW!!!

GTA3 is the best one out of the series because it was the first to utilize the third person view. Ive played GTA2 briefly and although they got the idea right the gameplay just felt a bit lacking because of the top down view. Even the later titles like Vice City and San Andreas didnt make as deep as an impression on me like GTA3 did. Both were equally as fun but Vice City's map was too small and basically is just one long drag strip. San Andreas had too much open spaces, I didnt like the layout of the map and it just took too long to get from one side to the other. GTA3 though also has a few features missing. You cannot buy property like you can in Vice City and San Andreas which gives you multiple save points. Also you do not get the better aiming scheme, swim, personalize your character with clothes or planes you get with San Andreas. There are just so many things to do in San Andreas which will surely keep you busy and adds alot of value to the gameplay. But in the end GTA3 is still my all time favorite and was a landmark in gaming history for me. Its actually one of the titles that got me into PC gaming. The open-ended gameplay, graphics and overall size of the city was very impressive when the game was released. Without a doubt my all time favorite single player game.
Great Game

Grand Theft Auto is now in 3rd person perspective! No more overhead camera. Well, at least it's not the only mode of view. That in itself makes this game great. You're an escaped convict that's trying to establish a name for himself and make some money by completing missions. The cities are virtually yours. Vast, easy to explore, no limitations. You can jump and hijack any car, beat a poor old lady with a baseball bat, even steal police cars. But don't go too trigger-happy, or else the feds will be all over you.
You take on various missions and upon completing them you receive credits and advance onto more interesting and complicated ones.
GTA3 is great fun to play. Good graphics, a lot of missions to complete, very many cars and weapons.
this game is hard!

Having played and beaten GTA Vice City and San Andreas with ease i bought this game and it is alot harder. With enemy gangsters shooting at you every other block in the city get used to dying despite cheat codes if you decide to use them
for the players who are used to the in game map with your player location on it this game does not offer one which makes getting lost a lot easier
Game does not function

The man walks to the left constantly and it cannot be STOPPED.
It takes just about a magician to drive the vehicle, it won't turn wheels to the right with the letter "D"
The CD is worn out or incompatible with Windows XP. I hate to give anyone a bad review but this game is terrible because the games CD seems to be either physically flattened or scratched, I did not take magnifying glass nor even look for scatches.
I tried my standard cleaning my turning it in a circle in a very soft cloth on playing side in attempt to fix the problem but it remains so I am not happy with the game at all, it is NOT PLAYABLE.
It is so worn out or incompatible, to me(?), it does not matter what the reason is, I bought a GAME THAT DOES NOT PLAY, I must rate that zero happiness, you would do same no? I mean I am not trying to hurt someoone here, I just want a game that works.

So many people did not play the original GTA games, that that is alright. This was, when it came out, the most advanced and risky engine for a game yet conceived. This game changed the way we play video games.
Really, the first GTA (plus it's expansion) and GTA II were so much fun to play that we thought at the time that no one could ever top this. Since then, Rockstar has proven us wrong and gone above and beyond to create GTA games that almost consistently topped the one before (I do not count the PSP ones, they were weak and were only created to sell PSP's).
So if you have played any of the GTA games and want to try more, this one is a classis, a legend if you will, and will be forever.
The replay value of all of the GTA games is astonishing.
