    If you’re an action gamer like me you will probably play every last penny of this AWESOME game!

    The perfect gaming experience. Anyone who doesn't like it is a pansy wuss who needs sense beating into them with a baseball bat, and that's a fact. Capiche?

    A stunning, involving experience that, though not for everyone, will appeal to both the gamer looking for a long, structured action/adventure game and the one looking for loosely organized chaos.

    One of the very best things about this game is its almost total lack of any visible interface. [July 2002, p.56]

    What started out as a 10-minute compatibility check turned into an all-night rampage, after I got past all the bugs that is.

    The number of different ways you can play GTA III is astonishing.

    As shocking, unsettling, and addictively compelling as a viewing of HBO's "The Sopranos." It's just that brilliant of a game. Capiche?

    I first played it on PS2 and couldn't get enough. When I saw it on PC, me being a PC gamer, I *bought* it without hesitation. At first, I first played it on PS2 and couldn't get enough. When I saw it on PC, me being a PC gamer, I *bought* it without hesitation. At first, I was sorta flustered about the lock-on system, or, rather, lack thereof, but after a while, I came to find the aiming system was far better. Rockstar made the right move. And with the option of skins, mods, and the very cool mp3 radio station, it makes the PC version better than even its PS2 counter-part.… Expand

    Third game in a series I love as much as Vice City. I probably played it even more than Vice City.

I never had a chance to play on PC until 2 years ago. Even today, I still think it's a good game. Of course, it's an old game, but I still think it is playable. For those who used to play, the game plays itself with a feeling of nostalgia. It may be a bit boring for new players, but it is still not a disgrace. Gameplay-wise It's a pretty easy and fun game. Until they removed it from Steam, BRUUH. Rockstar is soo annoying sometimes.… Expand
