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It's a little outdated right now but I can't forget just how much fun it was to do absolutely nothing in this game when it came out, so it still gets a high score from me.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

Solid game with fairly high replayability (for the first half), this game has aged shockingly well I have no clue what people are yapping about, the driving works much better than the later entries, the visuals are fantastic it has a very unique early 2000s look to it especially when it's raining or foggy or night time the game has a unique ambience to it at times almost looking like a Gamecube game, and this one doesn't have a game ruining missions right at beginning unlike San Andreas

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.
