10 years ago I went to the mall with my mom to get Metal Gear Solid 2 & another game I had yet to decide upon. It was between GTA 3 & Tony Hawk 3, the game store clerk said GTA 3 hands down! I reluctantly went with GTA.
Got home decided to check out GTA quickly before emerging myslef into MGS 2... To this day I think MGS 2 still has the plastic on it!
Its scary how technology have evolved, many years ago we could only play this game on our fat screen tv on PS2 I even refuse to go out back then sometimes because of this game lol.. And now years later, we're playing it on our palm not a PSP but our slim/light Apple/Android Smartphones and Tablet with equal graphics?!?! Love the fact, that we can play this old school game again
i heard the end of gta 3 was supposed to be you flying a plane into the twin towers 9/11 happened and then guess what us government threatens to ban the game unless the dull it down a bit and this i what u get still as violent as EVERRRRRRRR
they should put gta3 or vice city on the xbox marketplace including PS store im not asking but its my first time.. Thumbs Up if u agree bout what i just said
@appleman1324 We can't be sure it's Claude in GTA V, there are also theories it's Tommy from Vice City but he was 36 back then, he'd be a grandpa now. But I'm pretty sure it won't be any of the earlier guys, Rockstar has enough new characters and stories to tell without doing the old one's again eve though many fans would like to at least have earlier characters appear in the game as mission givers or something.
@JustMeOllie Liberty City was always supposed to be like NYC, so thats probabaly why. And I guess it was cut out/changed (Cant remember) to keep as far away from looking like New York as possible. Then they put it in IV.
мусарки синие. А гта 3 особенно тем крута что там пешеходы громко и реально орали от ужаса(хоть и качество аудио было не на высоте но страх в их голосе чувствовался)
excuse me i have to go clean up the goo all over the floor after watching this. but anyways, THIS GAME IS AWESOME!!! first gta game i played, i played it so much i know the liberty city map in and out. just amazing
gtaIV is too realistic, whether its getting into vehicles, shooting ur gun, running, or anything else. the old gta's were easy to control and the driving and flying mechanics were always very realistic.
Grand Theft Auto III, the best game of all time! It doesn't matter how many GTA games Rockstar is going to do in the future, whatever they do is awesome! But nothing will be as good as GTA III...
I havent yet played gta 4 but as far as i have played vice city is the best. You could say san andreas had many things to do. but carl johnson just do not have that "essence" to become what tommy is.
@dakidakov Wow yeah gta 4 raped vice city , i beat both and 4 had those downloadable campaigns ballad of gay tony and lost and damned thats what tipped it over for me , then gta san andreas beat vice , so in your opinion vice is this juggernaut but i didnt like vice that much when i had it in 2003
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The most overrated gta was vice city . what makes it overrated is ppl tlk about it like its like MGS of the gta series VC was good but wasnt the best SA was. It Had everything u wanted and more
it's so nice to see that frank vincent was a part of this project from very early on. i wonder if he did this voice over for the trailer only or if they would have used it for the final game also but then refused it.
There were some pretty wellknown voiceactors in gta 3. For example Kyle Maclachlan who voiced Donald Love, or Michael Rapaport who was the voice of Joey Leone. Not to forget the alway wonderful Joe Pantoliano (Luigi Goterelli) or b-movie star Michael Madsen as Toni Cipriani.
Yeah I knew Madsen voice Cipriani. I never knew Joe Pantoliano was in GTA either! You gotta love GTA, My favourite voice actor from the GTA series is Ray Liotta (Tommy Vercetti). He was perfect for that part. Roll on next GTA.
hej, do youve got this version of gta 3 ? ive been looking for this version for a long time. Could you upload your GTA3 folder with the game itself on somekinda site or someting. So i can download it :P ( please i really want the first version )
The cars are blue because that was the New York colours. It was reported at the time they were changed at last minute to avoid offending the NYPD (this game was released 2 months after Sept 11th).
@DarthSaiga because after 9/11 they changed the game they turned the police cars black censored it and they cut the missions by some guy named darkel which his missions were to blow up a school bus with children in it and to attract pedtresdions by blowing up a ice cream truck but the mission was givin by el burro instead of darkel and to kill the mafia instead of peds
@theCeilingPancake They say that Kenji Kasen survived that assasination attempt. Donald Love dissapeared. which means that one of them might appear in GTA 5 ?
i can see why State of Emergency got more attention at E3 then this game, the gameplay in this trailer looks very buggy. but wen this game was released, it was amazing!
now that this game is on android, we are all back to 2001 again :D
that was the good old times
