Millions of people have fond memories playing Grand Theft Auto 3. Rockstar’s award winning open world game, first released on PlayStation 2 in 2001, went on to sell over 14 million copies and helped kick start the sandbox genre, resulting in numerous copycat titles, including the publisher’s own Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto IV. Not only did it resonate with players seeking a means to let their inner criminal run wild, but it also served as a shining example of convergence between Hollywood and the video game industry.
As the oldest entry in the GTA trilogy, GTA 3 is often overlooked, but time has shown that this may be the title that has aged the most gracefully.
SA aged best to me, especially after you max out your skills, shooting especially becomes far closer to something modern.
Always loved GTA3 the most. Everything has personality, the islands, the areas, the gangs etc.
Being a huge Scarface fan. Both the movie and PS2 game I like Vice City the best. I'm also a sucker for the 80s so I'll always give that GTA an edge.
The iconic radio station Chatterbox FM in GTA 3 was slap-dashed together, but the end result was magical.
Take-Two Interactive have issued a DMCA takedown for the removal of the recent fan-created Grand Theft Auto Vice City and GTA 3 source codes.
Too late. They're already online. Might be a little harder to find now is all.
I can't stand virtual analogs on touch screens. Would have to be really desperate for some GTA action to play this.
