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.
Bought, Shoot, Hooked

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!
The game of all games

If you are looking for a good game to buy, you have to buy GTA3. This game is the best game out for both PS2 and the PC full of action, adventure, racing, excitement and music. YOu can do just about anything. Steal a car, kill a cop, listen to music, pull of stunts, drive-by shootings and even pick up a hooker from the streets. This game is defienetly a game worth buying! Especially at Amazon.com.
the ultimate game if your pc is right.

The game is worth [the money]. This game delivers everything it promises. However, if you don't have the right PC, then forget it. The minimum requirements as it suggests, is just for seeing the main title. The maximum requirement is basically the bare minimum for seeing major slow downs. I've tried this on two different systems and ran to the conclusion that the minimum system for no slow downs is due to the specific hardware that you have in your system. The minimum system is as followed: Windows 2000 SP2 Fat32; Ultra-DMA 52X Speed CD-ROM; Soundblaster live gamer card; 800 Mhz non-amd Processor; 32 Bit 3d Accelerated Video Card with reliable drivers; Direct X8.1; 7200 RPM Hard drive; 256K Ram; and a dang usb gamepad. Every system seems to have it's own bug, Good Luck.
Best but Demanding PC Game!

Grand Theft Auto Fan rejoice! GTA is back with a vengeance on PC. Awesome graphics, large cities, hilarious radio. Be Warned: This game requires a heck of a PC to play (I have a 32mb GeForce 2 MX and it struggles some!) I recommend a P4 with a 32MB video card or better. You should keep this game away from children, it has intense violence, language, and sexual subjects. Overall it is a great game and can acheive better graphics then on the Playstation 2 version. You can cruise the cities listening to any style of music (Hip Hop, Rap, 80's, Talk Radio, Reggae, etc.), I recommend the Talk Radio station, it is so stupid its funny. I recommend this game to all users as long as you think you can handle it.
Awsome

I got this game but i had a little trouble. First of all i would like to identify those people making a fuss about the graphics and how "The Could Of Drawn it" and theres only a few of them anyways. Mabey if you people would enter the 21st Century and get a good Video Card then you would find the ultimate pleasure that millions around the world find in this game.And ecspecialy the one comparing it to Elmo's World? Come on. This game is extrodinary with few problems but those problems are correctable with patches that should be coming soon. Note: I found out that this game dosent do very well on Nvidia Graphics cards. So if u have one and notice a stuttering and slow motion thats because of the compatibility problem. Patch, I dont know yet. Im just getting a knew graphics card anyways Great game Definately Buy it.
System Requirements Are Higher Than You Think...

While this game is a blast to play, I think the system requirements are understated. If you have a sub-700mhz computer with a 16mb graphics card or less, DON'T BUY THIS GAME YET! The graphics are very detailed and your computer will not be able to play at full- or even half-speed. If you're cooking with a pentium 3 or better, have a 32mb graphics card, and don't have children running around, you should definitely check it out!
I was able to play this game on a celeron 500 system with a 16mb graphics card, but it was pretty choppy. Running on a Pentium 4 with a 32mb graphics card was much more fun.
Overall, GTA3 seems to be pretty reliable. This game has NEVER CRASHED on any system I've played it on.
There are great cheats available in case you get bored or frustrated trying to accomplish the missions. ...
Also note... there are known issues with certain models of graphics cards that have not yet been patched... for more information on patches and bugs [search the internet].
instant classic

gta 3 is a fantastic game, and it's tough to find for PC these days, amazon shipped it to my house in 2 days, very impressive.

My brother and i used to play this game when it first came out for PC. I wanted the game because it brings back good memories, and its so easy to mod. you can personalise everything, including what your charachter looks like. you can put your favorite cars into the game, and even some of your favorite buildings. Love the game. I reccomend it.
