May 19, 2023GTA 3 was a groundbreaking achievement in gaming history that was so fresh. It blew everybody's mind back in the day.
-
Jul 23, 2020When I was younger GT3 blew my mind when it 1st came out. It was my 1st experience with the GTA franchise and the game was an amazing product for it's t's time. I still play it every once in awhile.
-
Aug 30, 2021The game is so good, that other games feel outdated, what a big step for the game world
-
Aug 21, 2021And the world was never the same again... That is what should be said whenever talking about GTA3.
-
Oct 3, 2022Il terzo capitolo rivoluziona la serie con il 3D.
Perde l'originalità e la crudezza del primo episodio, ma stravolge in positivo per impatto grafico, giocabilità e maestosità del progetto. -

Aug 27, 2022once again this game has a cool premise and atmosphere, and bunch of other cool stuff, and the music/radio stations are one of my favorite things about the game.. but there's a inconsistent difficulty yet again, and also yet again it caused me to never beat this game.. I guess maybe the older a GTA game is, the harder it becomes..
-
Sep 6, 2022The case when the first real try is not a mess, but a huge hit. Truly the origin of the future best seller of the gaming world

Mar 6, 2023Este juego aún no lo eh jugado o completado, así que pondré una reseña y nota diferentes cuando lo haga.
-
Jul 28, 2023Inevitably a little simplistic and crude compared to the later incarnations and some of the missions are frustratingly difficult thanks to the combination of dodgy AI and vehicles that are far too fragile, but it was a game changer at the time and was the genesis of the modern sandbox game.
-
Jul 19, 2023The overall score is based on how much fun I personally had with every component of the game
and the overall experience. -
Aug 22, 2023What can i say that has not been said a thousand times. Despite its obvious old age and crappy graphics, I have such good memories about it.
-
B.S.Oct 8, 2002You know what I hate people using critic sites like this as a chat room, so I'm not replying to any messages! there is a fourth city but it has nothing to do with a black smith! The graphics are shooty and the game has a cumple glichs other than that it's perfect ( and I should know I'm a real hard ass).

SquirtB.Nov 6, 2004Dyam.This Game Is F-ed Up Good.Although Having To Feed The Character Every Once In A While Is Quite Annoying,But Overall Its Good.Story Line Is Great.Graphics Are Neutral.Met Up To My Expectations.But They Really Have To Do Something About Those Ugly Characters Of Theirs.Well,Basically.This Game Is Definitely Worth Playing.

AndrewD.Oct 9, 2004Doesn't get 10 from me because it gets a bit repetitive (kill that guy, run from cops,etc...) and I think that the fisrt island gets boring after being stuck on the same mission on shoreside vale for 1 month.
-
-
JasonB.Nov 16, 2005The criminal underworld backdrop is always fun to have as a storyline, but the gameplay of GTA 3 is fun with or without it.
-
-
JohnS.Feb 24, 2007This game is pretty good, but not perfect. Good use of open-endedness though. Cool Am Ivan, there is no Boggsville. Theres a ghost area that was used for the opening act of GTA 3, but it isnt solid and can be gotten there by dodo going north of shorside vale. There is no blacksmith and no swords and no boss battle there. Don't believe this liar. And the game doesn't suck, either.

Jan 1, 2014Grand Theft Auto 3 was a huge leap forward for videogame history as it featured one of the first fully 3D open world environments and a good story mode.
-
Oct 30, 2013the two firsts gta games were nothing special,but in the third game and with another generation they made something really special and terrific,this game would change this series forever.
-
Nov 18, 2014THIS GAME IS SO AWESOME ! The only thing I complain about is the controls other than that this game is awesome ! It has cool graphics great gameplay and variety for weapons ! GET THIS GAME ON THE PSN

Jul 18, 2023This was my introduction to the GTA series. I enjoyed the story & characters. I also liked just driving around and reeking havoc on the civilians.
-
Dec 3, 2021Groundbreaking game and decent storyline. Would definitely recommend for those who haven't played a GTA before
-
Jan 12, 2019The best part of the series, the atmosphere of real city. The main character is like a hipster, but in fact it is a very charismatic character.

Dec 7, 2022The original open world sandbox game. 21 years after it's release GTA III holds up and is just as playable today as it was then.

Feb 26, 2023GTA III - самая недооцененная часть гта и самая жестокая гта с хорошей атмосферой

Jan 26, 2023Hello, this is a default review because i'm forced to use 75 characters. I'll edit this review in the future talking about the game, don't worry ;)
My final rate is: 8 -
Dec 28, 2022O começo de algo pica, mas não é nem de perto perfeito. A gameplay é datada, sendo o principal problema deste jogo.
-
SuperDudeFeb 11, 2002It is a really great game, it's just that I can't seem to wanna play it more and more. When I get killed or busted I just feel like quiting.
-
-
AndyS.Dec 29, 2004This is definitely a great game, but when it comes to the story, just like the other GTA's, it's not to addctive. All in all, the gam is good, but it needs more color. Comparing it to the new GTA's, Vice City, as well as San Andreas, it doesn't even make a 6.5.
-
-
JesusC.Oct 9, 2007It's a decent game, but it's also a little stale a little more than 4 hours in.

Mar 10, 2012This Game Is Alright For Gamers. I Would Rather Play This Game If I Had Nothing To Do Though. But It Is A Good Game. i Just Wish The Voice, Sound And Lighting Would Improve.
-
Dec 16, 2012Amazing game. Good graphics and big city, for its times, and very good plot. The gameplay is great because you can do a lot of things (although it isn't even comparable to GTA San Andreas). 100% recommended.

Apr 12, 2020GTA iii was a revolucionary game, except, it didnt aged too well. The game has an ok story, the driving system is nice and the graphics were the best of 2001, Claude is a cool character even though he doesn't talk, makes him look cold. But, playing it in 2019 is a bit weird, the combat is very hard, and the car is very weak, still, a great game.
-
Feb 19, 2020GTA III foi uma experiência legal que tive na era do PS2, mas o jogo pra mim não é lá dos seus melhores, sinto que ele envelheceu muito mal e com razão, o jogo possui algumas missões bizarras ao estilo GTA mas existem exageros na polícia e em outras missões, os carros tem uma dirigibilidade péssima, mas é divertido.

Aug 31, 2023Graficos para su epoca: 7/10 los personajes les faltan dientes y tienen manos con dedos pegados
Jugabilidad: 8/10 un apuntado automatico porque aun no habian juegos que adapten bien los shooters en consolas asi que fue bien implementarlo
Mapa: Mundo abierto 9/10
Misiones: 7/10 estan entretenidos
El juego esta bueno pero envejecio mal por sus posteriores entregas por eso un 7 -

May 17, 2021gli metto un 6 solo perché è stato il primo gta in 3d e perché è uscito anni fa, ma giocarlo oggi è veramente noioso ed è privo di contenuti, idem la storia, interessante ma neanche piu di tanto
-
Nov 12, 2022He oido mucha gente diciendo que este juego es maravilloso por su censilleza pero a mi la historia me parecio muy mediocre. Hay que admitirlo es el gta que lo invento todo y se ve bien para tener mas de 20 años pero no me gusto y tiene la peor radio de toda la saga
-
Apr 2, 2023oynarken çok fazla hatayla karşılaştım ve san andreas oynadıktan sonra oynadığım için eğlenemedim.

JakeH.Jun 3, 2004ok man here it goes they need better fighting styles better mini shitty game things or whatever the RC shit stuff plus whats with two stars when you kill one cop totally gay man get em to fix it I might not bust the games in half like GTA 3 and vice city peace it...

PhoebeR.Jun 21, 2003This game was ok. Ok so the gameplay and freedom is fantastic, but the graphics are SO PLAYSTATION ONE. Rockstar should maybe put a bit more effort into the graphics and make a better storyline with missions that arn't all the same!

KashiK.Oct 22, 2006This game sucks. Yeah, it's fun to "explore" the world but THE WORLD IS SMALL. It's interactive, detailed, and has alot of people to kill for no reason. Killing people gets fun for about 1-3 hours then you will TRY to get past the story. I was in shock on how lousy the story was. This game is recommended to people that are just stupid only. DO NOT GET THIS GAME!
-
-
GaborA.Nov 11, 2003The most overrated game of all time (besides Vice City). Elements of every game are adapted, but in the most pathetic and simplistic manner. Driving is boring, and racing impossible. Combat is like a pathetic platform game. If you want large environments play Tony Hawk where at least interesting play can be done in them.

JonasW.Feb 4, 2002The game is straight up stupid and dull.

coolamIvanJul 5, 2003like i sed before, i was really excited to be able to go to the fourth city but when i got there... it wook forever too load and even though you got to use sqords... it had very bad collision detection. first 3 cties are ok but 4th city sucks. after all i went through to get there and it was a let down... and thats the bottom line cause' i told it to you!

BrianD.Jan 4, 2006Horrible game. The controls are clunky and the story might as well have been made by a 5 year old. It gets 1 point because killing random people is fun for about 4-5 hours, but even mass homicide gets old quick in this game.
-
-
AdderJun 15, 2002It's a very bad game. When I started it, it worked very SLOW. It shocked. And it even went stock. So if there is someone who had the same problem, please HELP me with this so I can rate this very good game much higher!
-
-
Jan 15, 2023This game is awful. GTA3 is one of the most boring, unplayable games out there and it does not deserve the score it has. If the game was really a 10, it top GTA4 and GTA5 but it fails to put a dent in either of those games. Would not recommend
-
KanameS.Dec 20, 2006This game royally sucked. This had to have been the worst game I've ever played. Aside from the fact that the game is totally overrated, there was no real plot to it and I believe that this game should be burned and never seen again. I stand with my rating.
-
-
SomeguyMar 22, 2003The most horrible game ever!!! When i used the tank i already got busted and when some guy fights me i have to fight back rite?once punched him i got a wanted level like wtf is this sh*t it should be in the toliet. The graphics suk. Stay away from this game when u see it!!

DennyD.Dec 25, 2001The action is great; graphics are great; machine response to player action is superb, but the sexual content and foul language were not necessary to make it a great game. I rate it in the toilet where it belongs.

Apr 12, 2016For this game's fault i haven't touched videogames in 20 years, the characters are ugly, the driving sucks, the shooting sucks, the roaming sucks, this game is about nothing, thanks to this game, the industry it's in the sorry state it's in now.

The end-all, be-all of console action games. Period...For me GTA3 is the best action game I have ever played on a console system and I highly recommend it to adults (the intended audience of this game) who know the difference between good and evil.
-
An insanely deep game that offers a lot to do outside of the 70+ missions. If you understand that it's just a game and that these selfsame actions are not healthy in the real world, you'll enjoy a well-developed world disguised as a deviously fun game.

Next Generation MagazineAdding to the frustration is the fact that your targeting system is practically useless, and the vehicle physics model is annoyingly floaty. [Jan 2002, p.78]
