Grand Theft Auto III PS2 Review

[DonCramon]

so many memories :)

[liquid3600]

What's with the Domino's delivery driver polo shirt?

[Yeevle]

I remember trying to get this to work on my old ass PC. It was sublime at the time.

[clipsryan]

He's talking about probably the most important and revolutionizing game and you idiots are commenting on the reviewers hair, weight and use of the word "ill"? ill is alot more enjoyable than owned/pwned.

[Ashleytb]

@clipsryan Considering Jeff Gerstmann is running one of the best online gaming media websites these days while GTA3's time has come and gone, it makes sense that more people are going to be here to see what Jeff used to be like rather than GTA 3 (Which most people are familiar with by this point)

[clipsryan]

@Ashleytb Lame excuse. If that's the case, go google him for pictures and info.

[Ashleytb]

@clipsryan But I could google for GTA3 reviews as well

[bobafettjm]

Man, Jeff is so ill in this video.

[RyenDeckard]

It just makes the game a lot iller

[nerfsweeneytodd]

It's not coming to ios its coming to Android first.

[zreskhater]

can't wait for this on iOS

[michaeljd500]

was this a review? jesus, maybe he should have written things to say down instead of just winging it!

[187BURNZY]

WTF hes going for the slim shady look

[kylethemerczilla]

@187BURNZY More like fat shady

[BridgeTheGap81]

When he said the most violent game you'll see in a long time. You have to realize when this game released in Oct 01 it was a real sensitive time. So back then it made sense.

[rokkdinface]

Back in the day, man.

[WWFrawiswar1999]

was thinking of trying to pick this up but I do not think I would ever play though it again, even though i love gta series

[Sunburn190]

Nice hair Jeff

[Monumentum616]

Eminem has really let himself go.

[duderme]

@Monumentum616 Hey, it was 2001, so it was cool. Now a days, Jeff sports natural hair.

[novarules100]

i started playing when i was 5

[Callistheneitus]

This review is the illest thing Jeff has done easily. So ill.

[yusefelhalal]

Dat blond hair.

[Jet5Hawk]

3:52 whoa when did the Esperanto have Hydraulics?

[holla9823]

anyone notice his voice is higher?  hahaha jeff should say "iller" more often

[goldenjoeblow]

goddamn has jeff been around forever

[12rickydavis]

im a kid i had it im 11

[Johny40Se7en]

I miss these kind of reviews, gamespot is almost as bad as IGN today =/

Jeff Gertsmann was a decent reviewer until he just went too far with Kane & Lynch. Off topic, I like Kane & Lynch because of the characters and soundtrack especially the main theme so didn't deserve what he gave it.

Anyway I'm so looking forward to GTA V, it's come a LONG way hasn't it =P

I hope the military is back in GTA V, might regret saying this but I miss them and especially the vehicles like the Hydra and Rhino =)

[MrBurgundy76]

iller?!!? LOLOLOL

[TheSilentPhil]

Умели раньше делать игры на совесть,не то что сейчас...((

[bobafruti]

I like Jeff stealing cars Youtube 1911 style with the piano playing, it's classic.

[GamingBeast13346]

u can beat em with ur hand lol 3:27

[thisisntmyname]

Wow, I can't believe Jeff said "iller." He's come a long way since then.

[MrCMURRAY]

HOLLLLLLLLLLY SHIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!! JEFF HAS BLONDE HAIR!!!!!!!!

[csl316]

a lot iller? nice

[sexytimmyquijano]

Idk y ppl say this is a bad game like if u seen ppl play it it's like playin it so there is no fuckin difference u guys that hate gta go fuck a piece of shit

[robert3359]

One of the most revolutionary games ever developed.

[snowball1256]

hey oldgamerstuff i was wondering why do you make a review of smackdown vs raw 2006 why not 2007,2008,2009 or 2010 or 2011 plese reply

[Inextremis]

Anybody know the music playing during the review?

[JonnyFlash80]

Jeff, Jeff, Jeff. What kind of drugs were you on when you decided to dye your hair bleach blonde?

[simaman666]

this guy is a perfect retard

but gta is amazing

[xavierc21]

still love, still play it, still one of the best games ever!!!!!

[gtafanboy32]

its a classic

i have them all

[InternetSurfer1996]

I still have this game

[MarshDanni21]

has anyone notice a guy instead of catalina in the start of the video where they run to the car and if you freeze it at the right moment you can see a man in the suit with a bag of money (duh) weird though I just think that there wasnt catalina til much later

[Se7enBeatleofDoom]

2001 was such a kick ass year!

[IHATEGAYFAMILYGUY]

love how in the game, when you crash a car to car you get cash for it :D

[Castofdreams]

@IHATEGAYFAMILYGUY Family Guy sucks

[ledfarmer100]

other then graphics, this game is boss

[asskakakaka]

one of my favorite quotes from one of the asian guys in gta 3. " I see pain your future!". That never gets old!!! i don't know why!!!

[LCMphantom1575]

Hey does anybody else notice that Gamespot NEVER used real game footage for any of the GTA games they reviewed exept for GTA IV? They never used any actual gameplay, they always used trailers and beta footage.

[Alexander032691]

@LCMphantom1575 Yeah I did, and I wonder why?

[conkerbigmac]

johnny knoxville from jackass sort of looks like the main character of this game

[doublezeroduck]

How many times did he say ill?

[Anonymous473]

jeff is addicted to gta cuz he is tryin it in real life now

[chadheck96]

I like to do "stuff". :)

[TheAge2906]

omg :D i remember playing this when i was 9 with my cousin xD we never did the story just caused mayhem and shit 

[marsshepard]

best game of its era

[HerecomestheCalavera]

The Mafia double crosses you? Guess it's been a long time since I played I don't remember that

[IronMaidenFan65]

guys. when he says "not for kids" he means young kids, like 8 and 9 year olds. If you were playing this game at 14, whatever, i started at 13. If you're parents let you play this at 7 or 8, they are obviously too dumb too look at the title, or know what a grand theft auto is.

[hiscibus]

not for kids? man i was 14 when gta 3 came out and i played it and it was fun so this dude is a fag

[beastboy899]

@hiscibus I know, you know whats sad? My MOM bought me this game, and my dad bought me San Andreas! NOT FOR KIDS MY ASS!!! UPTIGHT PARENTS WOULDNT WANT THEIR KIDS TO PLAY GTA! SO IN YOUR FUCKING FACE FAGGISH CHILDREN!!!!!

[Quakmaor]

oh the memories

[valissi]

@nattzan97 and im a 12v old boy and i have this for PC and ps2.

[lilmattere]

im 13 and ive played this game lots and its sooo fun

[ps2dude87]

Dude, you gave this review not long after GTA 4 came out.

[catclaw357]

@ps2dude87 It was posted then but it was reviewed in late 2001.

[afgaviria]

was that greg miller??

[NikoCRAZYGuy]

THIS GAME IS SOO OLD WTF! I REMEMBER BACK THEN I PLAYED IT.. xD

[spidermanbwee]

what game was tommy vercetti in before vice city

[TBSful]

@spidermanbwee tommy was only in vice city you dumb shit

[mikethehot1]

This Guy Changed every Year

[huhjustin]

@yellowfish32 I'd shoot a kid..

[yellowfish32]

@huhjustin Unless its any of my childhood friends i'm cool with that

[jjuuss10]

@huhjustin Me too

[DarthBlitzer]

"most violent game you'll see in a long time", wow, we were really naive back then weren't we?

[SethMcFartlane]

@DarthBlitzer Yeah, but we were so ill'n.

[RolandDeschain1]

One of the many dubious hairstyles of Jeff Gerstmann.

[g4ngzta420]

wow check out that beta

[thegoldencat7]

"Iller".

[EricNinden]

YO DAWG DIS IS ILLER THAN A KILLER! CHECK IT!!

I feel embarrassed for Jeff. Oh lord. :C

[xenogamerx]

iller

[GorillaKingdomFN]

I own GTA III, GTA Liberty City Stories, GTA Vice City, GTA Vice City Stories & GTA San Andreas. I also own God of War 1 & 2, Metal Gear Solid 1, 2 & 3, Killzone, Black, Midnight Club 1, 2 & 3 & Manhunt 1 & 2.

[HenkieBob]

good for you ? i guess?

[BlueCoconut626]

Thanks ? i guess?

[BlueCoconut626]

Im getting GTA trilogy!!!!!!!

[Thedriffter1]

GTA 3 revolutionised gaming but GTA San Andreas took the sandbox genre to the next level

[chadheck96]

Yeah San Andreas was the best one by far. Ordered it off of Amazon for original Xbox 2 days ago. Played it on PS2 back in 2004 but now I'm going to have to relive the amazing experience on Xbox 360. =)

[Thedriffter1]

yes you have good taste in games, i still have a ps2 to play this great game, if there was one reason to keep a ps2 its gta san andreas

[aloneinthedark6667]

@Thedriffter1 is true and thats why to create gta 3 they doesnt have sufficent money to buy copyrights

[spyder1138]

I like looking back on these graphics and just realizing that they are just (very) high resolution N64 graphics. It's better than the N64, but not quite a good a a standard ps2 game.

[jestes12354]

Most violent game you'll see in a long time, boy the didn't have a clue

[HGJYBRANDON]

hahai remember gta 3 i was 6 when i first playedand beat the whole thing now im 13 and ily gta

[snake99451]

austrila has crap ratings they do'nt have a r18+ for games thats why it is ma and sex and stuff has been cut same for all gmaes in austrila(gta) only in mareica they have r

[NerdyTurd307]

i know he, it sucks epic balls. god dawm jack thompson is an asshole! }:-(

[sims2man08]

This is classic GTA. I love GTA II, and still play it. But I do have all the others such as VC, SA, and IV.

[MrRhysReviews]

I still love this game but its been ages since iv played such a memorable GTA, I found GTA DS veeeerrrry FUN and gave me the same feeling GTA III did when i first played it.

[JPH230]

LOL look at Jeff Gerstmann`s hair he had it blonde =D

[cjs11227]

Instant classic.

[roscoe988]

GTA3 set the standards and in my imo San Andreas took it to another level, just my imo ! :)

[jtgtjtgt]

@roscoe988 not just your imo its a fact that san andreas did that

[123456789million]

i remember this game used to be awesome but now i have gta 4 and one day i played gta 3 because i haven't played it in a whilem, and it sucked, its not because its a bad game, its a really good game, but im used to playing gta4 which is obviosley better than gta3

[Mysterious0Bob]

Thanks for stating the obvious, kid.

[WoWCilias]

I Dont Belive that this game is violent, or any other grand theft auto game, you shoot somebody, and bloood goes on the floor, its not like theres a hole in there head or anything. GTA was amazing and unreal when it was realesed, but if you play GTA iv for an hour then play this youll laugh at the graohics.

[coondogtheman1234]

they need to make a GTA game with geo mod like red faction so you can shoot a rocket launcher at a building and it blows a hole in it like some of the newer war games like mercs.

[jimbo601]

if you want a game that is like you can play it play and play it thengo with 3

[PIGSYMAGICC]

Geff Gerstman !!!!!!

[minimanners]

lol they've had the same "cinema camera angles" when you are driving for like all the games!

[crad650]

thats the only game that doesnt work on my ps2 I tried cleaning the lense but it still doesnt work. any one have ideas

[tylerboy565]

Only thing I can think of is go to your cheapest game store and buy a new copy for around $5 :P

[mardinn92]

Hahaha Recently released xD

[dcom94]

this game is different from pc and xbox

[soldier4ever77]

is this game or gta san andreas better cause i can buy both or dont bother??

[hustleking17]

@soldier4ever77

San Andreas is better, but both are good. Buy both. Get the trilogy pack.

[asskakakaka]

gta 3 = great

this review  = bad

[chum944]

can u do everything u can do on san andreas?

[cpsuperbrain]

Nope

[jozef97]

@chum944 no you cant mate San Andreas was years after gta 3, San Andreas have more vehicles, you can fly plains and helicopters instead of that stupid Dodo and loads more...

[matto95]

Jeff's the man

[odaikabkab]

this is so awesome and i am going to buy this game

btw, the guy was funny at the end lol :L

[Paperbagman555]

cool review, that guys funny. But I just finished it and it wasn't amazing, it was pretty good but nah not that great.

[lazyskater]

yeah but back in 2001 there was no game like it...thats why it was amazing ...

[GTA3Help]

4:40 - is that Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories??

[0212946965]

no it isn't

[tobie1]

cool, theres some of the rare beta in there!

[kacman11]

gerstman used to have blonde hair?????? thanks for posting the review

[CinemaZebra]

Yep, a looooooooooooong time ago lol

[thelamb777]

No...It just looks like he died it or colored it...
