   What can I say? You gotta play the game to realize that the hype isn't only all true but actually doesn't do the game justice. The What can I say? You gotta play the game to realize that the hype isn't only all true but actually doesn't do the game justice. The world is so organic/chaotic that there are always several ways to complete a mission that the developers probably never even considered. One of the few games I've ever played where it's just and fun and addicting to lose as it is to win.… Expand

   I first played it on PS2 and couldn't get enough. When I saw it on PC, me being a PC gamer, I *bought* it without hesitation. At first, I first played it on PS2 and couldn't get enough. When I saw it on PC, me being a PC gamer, I *bought* it without hesitation. At first, I was sorta flustered about the lock-on system, or, rather, lack thereof, but after a while, I came to find the aiming system was far better. Rockstar made the right move. And with the option of skins, mods, and the very cool mp3 radio station, it makes the PC version better than even its PS2 counter-part.… Expand

   This classic game is still fun even 17 years after release.
   The story takes you to the world immediately and is interesting after hours also.This classic game is still fun even 17 years after release.
   The story takes you to the world immediately and is interesting after hours also. The dialogues are well written, the only mistake was that the main character doesnt speak anything.
   The gameplay is a milestone of the PC games and was a big improvement to GTA 2, one of the few examples that 3D is sometimes better than 2D, because it changed the gameplay a lot.
   The graphics are of course a bit old, but there are some mods in internet, that improves it a lot. I can still enjoy the graphics.
   Music and Sounds fit perfectly to the game, but there could be more music.
   
   But there are some frustrating elements in the game:
   The controlling of shooting is very bad and consolebased. No free mouse view.
   The physic of the cars is unrealistic,the police is too fast and the traffic system is unrealistic, they change the line stupidly.
   There is no free saving, so you lose a lot of time to do the same things again, if you load last savepoints.
   Rockstar was too lazy to release patches to fix some bugs and improve the performance. It reminds me to Bethesda and their Elder Scrolls and Fallout games.… Expand

   It is undoubtedly a revolutionary and a genre defining game. Spent a lot of time in this game.

Still, the mood of liberty city and the music on the radio save the game. The missions have vague instructions and many are impossible to do on the first few attempts due to limitations put in by the game makers. Overall, the radio is great, some cars are nice, graphics not too good, and too many bad missions. The map is extremely bad and doesn't help that much. Great voice acting by the street characters of liberty city and talk show radio people. A nice game overall, even with its issues. Rockstar games is one of the worst game makers out there. The metascore is way too much. Should be around 72, not more.… Expand

   GTA 3....simply put....hasn't aged well. At least the PC port of it hasn't. I've heard it's pretty good on PS2, so I reckon you should playGTA 3....simply put....hasn't aged well. At least the PC port of it hasn't. I've heard it's pretty good on PS2, so I reckon you should play that version instead. The steam version (which I am reviewing) is just terrible. While it's easy to run, the controls are horrid and the driving is just awful. The shooting is just plain bad and the game has an unappealing artstyle. I'll admit the soundtrack is good, the cutscenes are well done and I enjoyed the story, but besides from that, I'd say skip this one and go with Vice City.… Expand
