Grand Theft Auto III

Grand Theft Auto III

Grand Theft Auto III

2001
Action, Racing
Featuring a fully 3-D living city, a combination of narrative driven and non-linear gameplay and a completely open environment, Grand Theft Auto III represents a huge leap forward in interactive entertainment. For the first time, players are put at the heart of their very own gangster movie, and let loose in a fully-realised 3 dimensional city, in which anything can happen and probably will.

It's a little outdated right now but I can't forget just how much fun it was to do absolutely nothing in this game when it came out, so it still gets a high score from me.

This game is total trash. I tried replaying this one. The controls are awful. No map when you pause. It's just that little radar that doesn't tell you anything etc. Every mission you need to go drive to the save point. If you play this for the first time you'll easily forget where it is. Then you do this mission where you are chasing a car and you get killed because you have a bat and he has a gun. So not knowing that you needed to buy a weapon I died. Shit like that.

It may be pretty tame by today's standards. GTA III was a blast to play and still remains decent to come back to. This was the game no kid was allowed to play and now we all look back on it fondly. Each with our own tale of how we managed to play it anyway.

Respect the legacy, but don’t revisit without nostalgia goggles.

It's a pretty impressive feat to be the most overhyped, overrated Rockstar game, but there you go.

It didnt age well as Vice City or San Andreas but this game was the game changer for everybody. Maybe this is the third game of the franchise but its the defining game for the rest of it. And for 2001 ? Omg an open world this big, and RPG that much freedom. Was bliss. Yes its clunky and laggy but its damn 2001 guys.

Outdone by its same-gen successors, but still a great replay for people who want a GTA game that cares more about the missions than the open world.

With the move to 3D, this series finally discovered what it was really good at: maps. Big, interesting maps you can drive around while listening to fun radio stations. Also silly vehicle handling, always a far more comical and entertaining aspect than whatever "Ooh.... look at us, we've got an M rating, aren't we naughty! Oh, and have you ever seen a gangster movie before? Great, us too!"-grade "satire" the writers can cook up. Shooting also forms part of the package, though it's not very good.

The best game of 2001. Obviously it looks like shit today, but you have to compare it to other games from 2001, and in that regard it absolutely destroys all! I remember playing GTA 2 with my friend and mentioning if they ever make this with 3D graphics, it will be the best game ever. They did and it was. I still remember the first time I got a hooker, had my way with her, paid her, chased after her when she had gotten out of the car, beat her brains in with a bat and got my money back. Classic!

The open world was very fun to play in and explore. The story is fairly unmemorable and doesn't use the world in a completely interesting way either. It actually hurts the game that the most fun I ever had in this was cheating in some tanks, getting a five star ranking and just trying to survive.

Pretty cool concept, but both dated and somewhat lacking in execution. The real treat has been seeing the open world GTA series really pick up from here.

A game where a Donald Trump parody (implied to be a cannibal) orders you to fly a plane into skyscrapers to lower real estate prices, only for this to be cut because 9/11 happened the month before - this is some ILLUMINATI SHIT
