Editorial Review:
Amazon.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 enforcement. 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 police 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, police 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

GTA is not just a video game, it is a phenomenon. No other game as had so much unniversal praise, media attention and just simple become so massive. But upon playing the game you can see why. The first of the new generation GTA games in 3D on the PS2, the first thing that strikes you is just how big the game is. The world is massive, and filled with all kinds of madness.
Steal a car, drive around, speed crash, kill people for money, get into fights with gangs - all these are staples of GTA 3. Ignore whatever anyone tells you about the game setting a bad example for kids, what a load of rubbish! This is a game, pure and simple, it the amount of innocent fun you can have on here is nothing to do ... Read More:

What can I say, this game rocks.
The basic story is you are a criminal on the run. Your girlfriend and partner set you up after a bank robbery by shooting you and leaving you for the cops. You are busted but during the transportation to jail the Columbians (I think) bust out one of their men from the van, you and another convict (8-Ball) escape too. He sets you up with with Luigi and you start you work in the criminal underworld. The city is made up of three islands. But you can't just go from island to island right away. Yet the story makes sense why you can't. The bridge from the first island to the second is destroyed in the break out. So there is a huge gap in it. And the underground tunnel system project isn't finished yet either. ... Read More:

Looking back this game transformed the PS2. You could justify this game as being the sole reason why the PS2 was the best console. It is the most revolutionary, original and enjoyable game made. Vice City was a better game, but for originality, this made the PS2 what it is. From the ability to roam freely across 'Liberty City', to the detailed and fun missions, this game was brilliantly done. GTA3 was one of those games that you could pick up for five minutes and explore, or just sit tere for hours doing missions. It's a shame San Andreas was overhyped and definitley overrated, while most people will agree that Vice City is the best GTA game, this revolutionised gaming.
How can you give it anything less than 5 stars? To anyone who has ... Read More:

The first time I set eyes on the game was on a massive billboard poster just outside liverpool - since the game was released, everyone was hooked, and its now the best selling PS2 game ever. But why?
Quite simply, 2 things. Firstly, nothing had ever been produced quite like it, or in the same depth. Sure, there was GTA 1 and 2, but to have full size 3-D environment, in which you pratically own the place was new. The game is based around a straightforward plot - 2 guys escape from a Police Van at night after a bomb on a bridge is plotted, and its up to you to gain respect through completing missions - around 75 of them in fact, and thats not counting other features/tasks in the game.
The game is set in modern times, but deep in an New York ... Read More:

Bought a new playstaion +20 games to get me started
+The rest are idle +All I play is this
They will have to change the title i suspect. The game originally emerged from stealing cars but has come a long way since then - Although stealing cars is a main element there are lots of other ways to play this game whether you follow the missions or just wander around - I've enjoyed just being a Taxi Driver (see the city and still earn a few bucks)
It's very realistic from the attitude of different vehicles to the attitude of different people in it - I think it has got a lot in common with 'Sim' cities scenario
So how much fun is it? well I still haven't got a memory card yet, so every time i play it i have to ... Read More:
