    10 years old and still more fun than GTA4

  • kgthatsme #2 7 months ago

    Still my favourite ever game!

  • Raiko101 #3 7 months ago

    Easily the greatest game of its time and one of the greatest of all time. I spent years playing this. I can't imagine the number of great PS2 games I missed out on because of my addiction to this.

  • RawNinjaKid #4 7 months ago

    Are they re-releasing this??!

  • ZizouFC #5 7 months ago

    Hope they release an HD version to mark the occasion.

  • deez #6 7 months ago

    Yup, on Android & IOS

  • Ron_Justice #7 7 months ago

    It was good but it's no Vice City

  • alexbulluk #8 7 months ago

    Perhaps the GTA V rumours were wrong, and they're re-releasing this for current gen consoles.

    That would be excellent.

    Wasn't too sure about this but after seeing the trailer I'm quite excited now!

  • fletch273 #13 7 months ago

    Such a revolutionary game. I remember playing this at a friend's house and I was simply amazed at all of the things you could do in this one computer game. Vice City was my favourite though. The best video game soundtrack ever.

    now THAT was a nice gesture. Hey Rockstar, as long as you produce masterpieces I will be loyal ;)

  • MrE26 #15 7 months ago

    Still know my way around Liberty & Vice City better than i do my own hometown!

  • Mkwone #16 7 months ago

    I feel more connected to GTA3 than i do any other game in the series. i think it's because it was such a leap from anything I'd played at the time. Simply amazing game

  • TheBusterMan #17 7 months ago

    Ah,GTA 3,great times.This made me love my PS2.Remember the increased gore cheat? Lets see the paramedics patch em up after you put that cheat on! This got me into Lazlow,opera and Giorgio Moroder.Where's the PS3/360 HD update,Rockstar?

  • dangerousbrian0 #18 7 months ago

    yeah i know what you mean after playing the original gta and then gta2 then going to this and seeing it in 3d for the first time it was like an oh shit moment we then knew that it was a massive leap from last gen to then current genand even though it looks crap compared to todays standards its still amazing in a nolstalgic way to say this was when gta first came in to 3d because we all was probably wandering what would gta be like with next gen graphics and in 3d and i hope as well rockstar rerelease gta3 gta vice city and gta san andreas in hd for ps3 and xbox 360 with trophies and achievements

    Anything you want...

  • karaokequeen3 #21 7 months ago

    Amazing game when it came out, was the big reason why i ended up with a PS2. And to think that 10 years have passed. God that makes me feel old!

  • dadrester #22 7 months ago

    Does anyone remember Edge magazine's massive blunder? They miss-printed the review score. Gave it 6/10... then had a quarter page apology in the next issue.

  • karaokequeen3 #23 7 months ago

    "Lazlow, life does not have a reset button"

    "Right, but this show does."

    CLICK

    "Aaah, I love that button"

    Just visited the GTA3 website again. I remember spending ages on there before the game was actually released, it just seemed amazing that a game could have so much. Took forever to load each section too, now it's instant. How times have changed.

    The Dormatron website's music is still great too.

  • Totza #25 7 months ago

    Rockstar ftw!

  • coolbritannia #26 7 months ago

    I was so addicted to this I saw GTA in my dreams, and on my computer screen at work....

  • Jolly_Armadillo #27 7 months ago

    Don't know what it was but GTA 4 was abysmal compared to GTA 3

  • Sildur #28 7 months ago

    Vice City is still by far the best GTA game.

  • Br0ken_Engli5h #29 7 months ago

    I still remember this more fondly than just about any other GTA game, despite all the additions to it since.
    High speed car chases with Double Clef FM blaring on the radio never got tired.

  • TheBusterMan #30 7 months ago

    Citiizens Rage Against Phones,The naturist guy and the tofu eating hippy that tries to bresk the desk in half,brilliant.Classic Lazlow.

  • dadrester #31 7 months ago

    High speed car chases with Double Clef FM blaring on the radio never got tired.... in the banshee nicked from that garage.

    GTA3 really was a game full of "moments". I think that might be the problem with some of the newer open world games. They try very hard to construct moments and in doing so, as impressive and involving as they are at the time, they are too structured to become actual memorable moments.

    I think to truly be able to create moments like these in games it has to come from the player. You can't design emergent gameplay, you can just give the player the tools to do it for themselves. A perfect example of this is super scribblenauts. While the tasks are fairly simple and usually have an intended solution, if you think outside the box a little bit as a player, you can have way more fun. I will always remember the Halloween level where you were supposed to scare the kids, and rather than "ghost" or "monster", I typed "psychopath". A knife wielding maniac appeared and chased the kids off screen winning me the starite.
