Product Description
-------------------
Grand Theft Auto 3 lets you explore the fully realised universe
that is Liberty City, and complete gangland missions. You can
steal any car you see, from sports cars to taxis, and even boats.
There are over a dozen ways to take out other characters,
including fist-fighting, baseball bat, hand, Uzi, rocket
launcher, and Molotov cocktail. The game world has unpredictable
weather, a variety of pedestrian types who act in unique ways,
changing times of day and night, and a multi-tiered, fully
corrupt force. The revenge plot offers strong story
elements that are balanced with the game's non-linear
freedom-of-movement.
.co.uk Review
-------------
Ever fancied being a tooled-up hoodlum, living on the wrong side
of the law and mixing it up with street gangs in a war over turf,
drugs and cold, hard cash? Welcome to Grand Theft Auto 3 on the
PlayStation 2. Big brother of previous outings on the PSone and
PC, GTA 3 has gone fully 3-D to bring the fictitious environs of
Liberty City to life. Any worries about graphical speed on the
PS2 are quickly dispelled the first time you carjack a taxi and
take off like a lunatic, mowing down the innocent and incurring
the wrath of law . This is silky-smooth stuff and the
graphical details are truly awesome--all the vehicles are fully
deformable and ripping off car doors reveals a driver complete
with steering wheels inside.
Sonically, GTA 3 cannot be beaten; in-car tunes are provided from
one of nine radio stations, each with its own distinct feel, and
the sounds of the city are all here too; walk around for a while
and you'll hear far-off sirens, motorists abusing one
another and general chit-chat as people go about their business.
The game is very open-ended. Its major focus is the mission-based
goals--start out as a convict accidentally sprung from jail and
work your way up to become a shining light in one of the city's
controlling gangs. If that gets dull, hijack a cab, car,
ambulance or fire engine and carry out missions suitable for your
mode of transport, and if all else fails, find the ludicrously
dangerous looking ramps and hit them hard for some big air and
big cash bonuses.
It has to be said that GTA 3 fully warrants its 18 certificate,
dealing as it does with mob warfare, indiscriminate murders, auto
crimes, prostitution and more. The language gets a little
"fruity" from time to time and you can't help but wince as you
watch innocents get in the way of a good firefight. At the end of
the day, though, this is a game and nothing more; thankfully,
it's a good game, a very, very good game in fact, so buy it now.
Or we'll send Luigi and the boys round. --Chris Russell

Review
------
"Cross Gone In 60 Seconds with Reservoir Dogs and you'd probably
knock up a tame version of GTA III. 9.9/10." -- Loaded
"The best game in the world." -- Play Magazine
"The most gleefully sociopathic slice of fun since Mr De Niro
asked us what exactly we were looking at. 5/5." -- Maxim
