Grand Theft Auto: 3 USA TV Ad

[jorge201021]

Gta 3 ipad

[1990snake]

The music gets me every time, brings back so many memories

[MASKEDMAN712]

Grand Theft Auto 3 helped me mature and learn about sex and violence without my parents having to tell me anything. I was 9 when I got it. YEAHHHH! Lol

[Agoonga]

San Andreas and 3 FTW

[Loader2K1]

Happy belated tenth anniversary, GTA3!

[5o4p0thead]

this commercial brings me bak to wen i waz a kid playn gta3..n i waz lookn forward to dat shoot out dat i thought waz suppose to happen..but it didnt

[Loader2K1]

Anybody notice that the "mob" guys at the end of the commercial about to shoot Claude were actually the Yakuza henchmen from the game?

[Josvdb89]

@Loader2K1 Hehe true, the funny thing is this was just scripted for this commercial as it never actually occured in the game.

[Loader2K1]

@Josvdb89: It's too bad that it wasn't an actual sequence in the game. It would have made an awesome shootout scene in my humble opinion.

[tony1985ize]

the king of all gta

[mexicandude971]

it was cool just shitty graphics

[markosdangerous]

@mexicandude971 well that was like GTA IV when it came out...

[MrCaine10]

I am a big fan of GTA series, and I don't see anything good about this game. And I don't care about graphics. But the city is small, the sounds are shitty. Cloud Speed is without character. Interiors, customization, nothing of it is there. How the fuck would you think this game is the best gta??? He couldn't even speak omg :D

[Inhue]

I hate it when kids and teens say GTA IV is the best because of graphics or San ANdreas because of huge customization....Can't they see just what GTA III meant?? How groundbreaking it was?Every other sequel is just a build off of this one. This is THE definitive GTA masterpiece imo...I still enjoy playing it every time, and as I do, it's like I'm back in 2001. No sign of better times.

P.S. I remember watching the commercial on Smackdown on thursdays, good show, good ad.

[MluvD08]

@Inhue They played this commercial like every commercial break lol. They also have a longer version.

[Inhue]

@MluvD08 yeah, i remember that, i also remember the chef boyardee ads. i love this game.

[JoeyLeone1000]

GTA3....STILL THE BEST VIDEO GAME EVER...LONG LIVE GTA3...

[JoeyLeone1000]

THIS GAME WAS FUCKING AWESOME!!!!

[51rickjames]

damn i wish it was still like this the commercial is just awesome, and it was funner to play games back then.

[CCCPvory]

i can still remember the first time i played it. that was almost 10 years ago. i was with a friend and he had it on ps2. i was immediately intrigued by the open game world and graphics. for me the best game series at all.

[BigLTheBestMC]

The first time i played this shit i fell in love with it, when blockbuster was in Tops, damn that was awhile ago where does all the good times go?

[DenverCholoX3]

I teared up during this ad. I was like, "beautiful". I got that shit Christmas of that year. Classic

[aaronjarvis1]

Gr8 game (Y)

Claud: ANY F**KING REASON I'M RUNNING AWAY FROM A TRAIN WHEN I COULD JUST BE SAFE ON THE OTHER SIDE SINCE A TRAIN NEVER RUNS ON THAT SIDE!!

[KyleElliott7]

I first played gta 3 when I was 8. Fell in love with gta ever since……

[DEADDUCKGAMES]

@KyleElliott7 Same with me, now i want to create my own games.

[ElectroGilberto]

[THEPRINCE310]

[unreal3010]

[ripppking]

[thekjkjkjkjkjkj]

good times

[Raulio50000]

[Mister5050]

@Raulio50000 Giacomo Puccini - O mio babbino caro as sung by Angela Gheorghiu

[Kudoskhan13]

yeah... this game doesn't suck. whoever says that is really close minded. it revolutionized open world gaming and set the standard for crime games, hence the term GTA clone...

[VVWEtitantrons]

One of the best games ever created

[MyYoung1234]

this game suck

[PaulieRomanov]

No, Final Fantasy sucks. Now go home, drink your sake, and jack off to your hentai, you dumb otaku.

[FrostSalonica]

[PaulieRomanov]

@FrostSalonica Fuck off, otaku.

[FrostSalonica]

What's your fuckin problem shitface?? I SAID I LIKE GTA!! R you RETARDED??

[thisbro1]

[TrinityGardenRyda]

[pacmanghostx]

GTA III STILL kicks ass eight years later.

[lazrpo1nt3r]

When I first seen this ad, I thought this game looked like crap...

Boy was I wrong when I got it 4 years later!

[ihateihop9]

the name of the song is o mio babbino caro.

[playfromam2pm]

i remember when i first saw a gta 3 ad with my brother.......we were in shock for a few weeks until we got it....Gta is such a great series....near perfect

[PitchDarkShadow]

ya, me and my brother were in shock too...then we were like.. "we gotta get this"

[markosdangerous]

[addisonpeterson]

[TeVReal]

GTA3 was a great game! ;]

it was popular for a long ass time

0-0

[RavenMichaels]

2001! Last great year...except for 9/11 of course...

[MrScottydabody]

@RavenMichaels i agree totally with you and i would add that 9/11 is the reason that 2001 was the last "great" year.

[macdaddy4591]

@RavenMichaels 2001 was one of the greatest years of all-time. just fun from start to end. great video games, great music, great movies, great wrestling, what more can you ask.

[RavenMichaels]

@macdaddy4591 Aside from the Invasion, which produce some great moments but still was horribly managed, 2001 was an amazing year in Wrestling. Greatest WrestleMania ever and an amazing Royal Rumble and great Summerslam. Power Trip, Hardyz, Edge and Christian, Brothers of Destruction, Dudleyz, Benoit and Angle. Some great tag teams...

[macdaddy4591]

@RavenMichaels true, the invasion was horribly managed (ex. only a few big names like ddp and booker t) but it was still fun to watch. hahah, i just assumed that you were a wrestling fan because of your name. raven as in scott levy and michaels as in michael shawn hickenbottom.

[RavenMichaels]

I respect Raven and his great promos, but I love HBK. Hes one of the best ever...

[RavenMichaels]

@macdaddy4591 I really like Ravens promos, but I love HBK. He's one of the best ever in the ring and also amazing on the mic. Check out my "Only God Knows Why" HBK Tribute on my page, and tell me what you think sometime if you want/are bored...

[twannie1997]

@RavenMichaels My little brother ruined it all, being born on 9/11

[brwhizz]

'My hands are all messed up, so you better drive, brother.'

[AlphaEndgame]

This wasn't a game... this was a REVOLUTION!

[carnal85]

Man, this commercial brings back memories...it seems like yesterday! This commercial played during EVERY Monday Night Raw between December 2001 and May 2002.

[humbuckersNcoke]

The good old days!

[mgohitman]

[iceblitz]

one of the greatest games of all time

[deenage]

Man I can't believe it's been seven years when Grand Theft Auto 3 was advertised on TV; time sure flies huh?

[Allen913369]

[CreepyBastard55]

Loved the commercial for Fusco's song. Didn't that ad play during every Monday Night Raw of 2001?!

[deenage]

Yes I totally remember this; I was 12 years old at the time, they sure did play this ad of Grand Theft Auto 3 on TV during every Monday night Raw back in 2001.

[eza1]

[DeekGTA]

O Mio Babbino Caro by Maria Callas

[mjimmy]

I'm pretty sure it's Cecilia Fusco. The song is called "O Mio Babbino Caro."

[robs70986987]

thanks man

much appreciated

[animeloverryan85]

the last part of the commercial, where "Claude" pulls his shotgun on the Don's Leone family...Can you actually do that mission?

[YoungTails]

I don't think so...I've never seen it...

[animeloverryan85]

well then I don't know what they were thinking then

[RockstarWatch]

What do you mean by "what they were thinking"?

[animeloverryan85]

I mean, I really thought it would have been just an awesome mission to have a "showdown" with the made men of the Leone family. I mean they kind of teased me or something, so yeah. :)

[RioGiovanni]

maybe in the beta version?

[animeloverryan85]

Yeah probably, I guess the Leone Family doesn't die easily...does it?

[holtzac]

Liberty City, USA.

The worst place in America.

yep

[xirvin92]

mmm i dont remember the last

part

[dragon619]

number 1 best commercial!

[TheManAbove]

Man, this brings back so many memories.

[ginfuu]

or try Gianni Schicchi - O mio babbino caro

[5umn3r]

Giacomo Puccini - O mio babbino caro

[BRSTARR101]

What I WANNA KNOW is who the lady sing that Opera song in the backround and was the name of that song?

[ginfuu]

omg i wanted ti know the same thing. thats how found this. searching.

[saintsisterkate]

The singer is Maria Callas, I'm 90% sure.

[TaintedHeavens]

a game i'll neeeeeeeeeeeva forget...... :']

[HungryBeast]

The name of the song is "O Mio Babbino Caro" by Maria Callas

[bittersalty81]

Seriously, what is the name of that opera song playing over it!?! Isn't it that same thing I just watched Paul Potts sing on Oprah? ANYBODY?

[scuba191]

the song paul potts did is Nessun Dorma

[bittersalty81]

Yeah, after I wrote that comment I went crazy and watched a bunch of "Nessun Dorma" videos on youtube. I'm not big on opera, and I don't speak Italian (that IS Italian, right?) but wow, pretty powerful. IS it the song playing in the GTA trailer?

[mrmafia72]

i wonder who wins at the last scene...not that hard to think

[lilross2k6]

i don't understand the GTA hype..after 3 i was over it...and i only played 3 to see what all the fuss was about...i took me 4ever to beat it cuz it was so boring to me.  i just loved the commercial for it so i wanted to check it out again.

[dnelons123]

0:17-0:24...

I wonder y they didnt make that

a part of the game.

[anythingnew]

I've always wanted that part to be in the game. Back in 2001, I used to believe you get to kill Joey, Toni, and Luigi along with Salvador later on, but that didn't happen....

[TheTalibanShow]

you do kill salvadoor :P

[anythingnew]

But each killed at different parts of the game.

Salvatore (you already know)

Luigi at his club, sometime after you meet Donald

Joey trying to take over the family business dies once Shoreside Vale is unlocked

and Toni dies a few mission before the end of the game.

[a1ez11]

how do you know ??? they never said

[anythingnew]

I said, I wished.

[a1ez11]

oh, sorry

[anythingnew]

Ok, I meant to include all four.

The first one dead should be Salvatore, then Luigi, then Joey, then Toni.

[braro442]

There is a different commercial in which it ends with a car and police chase off the unique jump. Anyone have it?

[rachie69876]

dat game was my first for ps2 bak in 01 and it chnaged my life

[talldude123]

wow, shows how old the ps2 is! I thought it came out at first for the PC, because thats when i first played it.

[H3KRY84]

00:11 LOL

[macsftw]

i never finished GTA3 got about to halfway of the staunton island missions then stopped.....

[Ledatru]

What's the name of the opera song

[ghtyvn]

It is a song on one of the Radio stations in the Game,

The Classical station I think

[Driv2r7]

i didn't see the last scene in the game...hmm probably it was to impress people to buy the game!

[mackelite900]

this commercial was awesome when i first saw it, thanks for the post

[Mantra98]

that last scene those were yakuza in salvatores mansion but i guess thats still the beta version.

thanks for posting this i really liked that last scene :D FIVE STARS!!
