The highly controversial Grand Theft Auto franchise moves into 3D in the dark and seedy underworld of Liberty City. You play a crook with link to the Mafia. A man named 8-ball assigns you tasks ranging from delivering an item to killing the leaders of rival gangs. But you don't have to take that route, as Grand Theft Auto III gives you the freedom to go anywhere and cause your own trouble. Some of your activities might consist of jacking people's cars, beating pedestrians, and testing out your huge arsenal of weapons--including assault rifles, shotguns, rocket launchers, and flamethrowers--on the police.

    Newcomers to Grand Theft Auto III would giggle at the primitive graphics, spoiled by the advancements of the past 15 years. For seasoned gamers however, Grand Theft Auto III was the absolute tits back in the day and I really enjoyed playing it again. Sure, I paid out my butt for it but that was my choice, no one forced me to do it. Now, if you don’t mind, I’ve got a platinum trophy to nail.

    Amazing experience, but you have to remember that this game is from 2001 !!
    I enjoyed the crap out of it on my PS4. Controls are outdated,

    Such a bummer that Rockstars are wankers that removed original Trilogy from all stores, including PS Store, and now you have to purchase "rEmAsTeReD" (massacred) version of this trilogy to be able to play the original versions.

    Самый революционный открытый мир, экшен от третьего лица и просто лучшая игра возвращается на PlayStation 4. Порт с PS2-версии можетСамый революционный открытый мир, экшен от третьего лица и просто лучшая игра возвращается на PlayStation 4. Порт с PS2-версии может похвастаться разрешением в Full HD, трофеями и различными "некст-ген" фишками. Отличный повод понастольгировать, а трофея-хантерам - повыбивать ачивки и получить ещё одну платину в копилку. Expand

    A dated but abite romp back to where it all started. Originally played through this game on PS2, well after playing through Vice City and SanA dated but abite romp back to where it all started. Originally played through this game on PS2, well after playing through Vice City and San Andreas. The HDing is obvious, although clearly not a remake or a remaster. Its just been tidied up and polished a bit.
    The controls are, well, 2001 controls, its very, very clunky and the targeting system (or lack thereof) is abhorrent; you're better off spraying and praying.
    The physics are horrendous and the lack of any checkpoint system can get pretty frustrating. The abundance of timed missions is pretty unoriginal too.
    GTA 3 is the quintessential "Errand Boy" game, the narrative drives things along, however everything is a go here do this request mission, however everything works well enough.
    I guess to sum it up and to be honest, this game is old, very old and the tech is just as ancient but you have to take it for what it is, the most ground breaking game of the 00s, possibly of all time

    Not to be rude or anything, I don't like GTA III. The reason is that first of all, it is PS2 graphics on PS4. Second, shooting is terrible.Not to be rude or anything, I don't like GTA III.

    It's the classic game but with the same **** controls. You'd think they'd at least put a "Setup 4" option in controls where all controls areIt's the classic game but with the same **** controls. You'd think they'd at least put a "Setup 4" option in controls where all controls are modernised.

    It honestly feels like there was 0 effort put into porting this to the PS4.

    I mean yes, it's a classic, but couldn'tyou at least have put in updated controls. It's really hard to play and not really enjoyable anymore.
