Amazon.com Review
With Grand Theft Auto III, Rockstar proves that not all developers are concerned with toning down the violence in their games. This sequel is even more bloody, violent, and sadistic than its popular predecessors, offering up an enormous 3-D city in which nearly any criminal act is possible. Players are free to steal cars, beat up the local population for their money (or weapons), make time with prostitutes, or simply roam to their heart's content. Those seeking more structure can embark on dozens of plot-driven missions or steal cars that let them play minigames. Nab a cop car and you can go on vigilante missions. Grab a cab and you can play a deadly version of Crazy Taxi. Take a fire truck and you can earn money putting out fires. The game just never gets boring.
As in real life, there are consequences for your criminality. As your random acts of mayhem mount up, the police start hounding you, eventually calling in SWAT trucks, the FBI, and even the army if you continue down the path of destruction. Shaking these pursuers is easily the most fun part of the game, especially when a bunch of friends are packed in the room to witness your narrow escapes.
Grand Theft Auto III is fine-tuned to near perfection in every category. All the vehicles, from slick sports cars to lumbering dump trucks, handle exactly as you'd expect and smash apart realistically when abused. The three islands in the game are rendered in terrific detail considering their size, and are packed with traffic, pedestrians, and hidden jumps. The audio is equally amazing. Pedestrians talk, cops scream at you, and you can tune in nine different radio stations whenever you are in a car. It all adds up to a monumental achievement: the rare console game for adults that manages to get everything right. --T. Byrl Baker

Amazon.com Product Description
You've been betrayed and left for dead. Now you're taking revenge, unless the city gets you first. Mob bosses need a favor, crooked cops need help, and street gangs want you dead. You'll have to rob, steal, and kill just to stay out of serious trouble. Anything can happen out here. Grand Theft Auto III features a fully 3-D living city, a combination of narrative-driven and nonlinear gameplay, and a completely open environment.
Players are put at the heart of their very own gangster movie, in which anything can happen and probably will. With a cast of hundreds, 50-plus vehicles--including sports cars, ice-cream trucks, boats, and buses--three hours of music, (including opera, reggae, house, drum and bass, pop, and disco), a huge array of street-ready weapons, and some of the seediest characters in video game history, Grand Theft Auto III is a sprawling epic that will show you that sometimes crime can pay, and that sometimes it pays you back.
Customer Reviews
A masterpiece - witty, fun, and incredibly well thought out
This game is outstanding in so many ways that it is difficult to know where to begin. It will give you hours (no, make that days, possibly MONTHS) of enjoyment.
Some of its more brilliant touches:
(1) You can choose to pursue the "story mode" missions or simply explore the vast cityscape, stealing cars and committing random crimes.
(2) You can leave story mode at any time and start exploring, then return to story mode whenever you're ready (or when you've increased your driving and police-eluding skills).
(3) Liberty City is gorgeously designed, with incredible detail and realistic layout and architecture. True professionals were at work here, coming up with a city as real as any you've ever seen in real life. (How interesting it would have been to set this game in an actual city!)
(4) The vast array of vehicles available to the player is almost endless. Probably due to the violent nature of the game, actual car makes and models are not given but any auto fan will recognize the ones that are depicted here. You can drive many other things besides cars -- such as buses, firetrucks, boats, ambulances, taxis, and of course, police cars.
(5) If you capture a "public servant" vehicle such as a police car, ambulance, or fire truck then the game offers you the opportunity for mini side missions, such as doing away with other criminals (as a vigilante cop), taking wounded people to the hospital (as a parametic), or putting out fires.
(6) The weapons you get are hilarious and fun -- nothing feels quite as good as using a bazooka to shoot that police helicopter out of the sky after it has been following you around the city, shining its spotlight and shooting you. :-)
(7) The missions are varied and sometimes very involved -- everything from delivering girls to the policeman's ball to eliminating your boss's rival to busting somebody out of jail.
(8) Bonus details abound. One of my favorites is the chance to drive a little toy car around on a side mission to blow up the cars of mobsters.
(9) The game has an easy-to-use status display that lets you know how much money you're making through your criminal exploits as well as how badly the cops want to catch you and how much health you have left. (The more "wanted" you are, the more insanely the cops try to catch you.) There is also a much more detailed status screen that you can pause the game to view at any time. This lets you know your "criminal rating" and your other stats.
(10) You can't really die or be permanently jailed! If you get down to zero health you merely end up at the hospital, 100% yourself again and with just a little less money due to the doctor bill. Similarly, if you get busted you merely "bribe" the cops to get free again. (Which is weird when in many cases you've been arrested for killing the police who have chased you. I don't think real cops would be open to bribes after that.)
(11) The cut scenes are clear, concise, and well directed.
(12) There are some very adult "hidden features" that make you laugh and marvel at the same time.
(13) The game actually rewards you for wrecking your own car and other people's cars, as well as for completing wild stunts while driving. You aren't MEANT to be careful, which feels good.
(14) The learning curve is very quick -- within a few minutes the game has tutored you on how to get around, and it prompts you whenever you need its advice or reminders later.
The team that planned and completed GTA 3 should be congratulated for a superb achievement. This is the absolute best PS2 game I've ever bought. Be warned, it is definitely for mature audiences -- there is no moral code among thieves in Liberty City, that's for sure. :-) For replay value alone GTA 3 is also a bargain -- I'm sure every player will be discovering new details about Liberty City for weeks and weeks.

Everything I love in a game and more...
If you've read any of my other reviews, you know what a huge Driver fan I am. Grand Theft Auto 3 has supplanted Driver as my all-time favorite game. Exploration and freedom of action have always been things I hunger for in a game, and the more immersive the environment, the better. Without my even having really expected it to, GTA3 has surpassed my most fevered dreams of the ultimate interactive experience.
Liberty City is one of the worst places in America, according to the game's literature, and GTA3's designers pulled no punches in depicting this seedy sewer of a metropolis in decay. It may come as a surprise to a lot of gamers that the designers of the game are British, and after playing GTA3 for a few hours, it's easy to appreciate the twisted and sarcastic view of American crime culture that inspired this game.
In this fictional and fully realized world, the player can do almost anything his darker nature inspires, including random and pre-meditated murder, vehicular manslaughter, grand theft auto (of course), armed robbery, assault and battery, and red-light running. The only restrictions involve actually entering structures, although there are a few for which this is possible as required by the game's plot. There are subways, trains, cars (lots of these), boats, planes and of course the freedom to jog anywhere you would be able to in real life. The streets are jammed with other people and cars, some just bystanders and some real bad guys (and girls). There are bridges and bays, a couple of ammo shops, a men's room in a park, a tunnel, and lots of guns. This is the closest thing to a real living city I have ever seen in a video game.
The main part of the game itself is mission-based and plot-driven, similar to that in Driver, but so much better thought-out. The variety of missions is wonderful and keeps the player interested in the plot. The mission structure is mostly non-linear, so if one boss asks you to do something and you don't feel like doing it right away, you can get a different job from another boss and come back to the first one later. Of course, some missions must be completed to advance the plot, but many are simply there to add spice to the game.
What if you don't feel like playing a mission? No problem. Just hop in a car, boat, taxi, police car, truck, ambulance, firetruck and so on, and hit the road. Running around aimlessly is fun, too. You can busy yourself looking for all 100 hidden packages, hitting strategically placed ramps to get a stunt bonus, taking patients to the hospital in an ambulance, being a taxi driver, running down dangerous criminals in a cop car, putting out fires in a firetruck, beating people to death and stealing their cash, stealing specific types of cars and delivering them to a warehouse for money, blowing up gang-members' cars with a radio-controlled bomb, sniping innocent victims from the safety of a high rooftop, making yourself wanted and then running from the police, or just looking around.
There's a lot to see. Just walking down one of Liberty City's streets will expose you to all kinds of seedy elements. Gang toughs will threaten and chase you if provoked, prostitutes will proposition you, drunks will mumble at you, drivers will shout expletives at you, crimes and car accidents will occur as you witness them, and, if you've made the wrong people mad, people will shoot at you.
Or you could just marvel at the detail that went into the city's design. Buildings are lifelike and architecturally interesting, there are landmarks and parking lots, college campuses and warehouses. There is a construction site that I swear has actually progressed in completion as the game days increase. There are parking garages and shopping malls and an airport.
GTA3 is definitely for adults only. I'm sure that most people would not have to be told this given my description of the shenanigans going on, but some people just don't read. Pay attention to that big M on the cover-it's well-deserved in this case.
This game is an escapist's dream come true-it is an immersive interactive experience like none other. If you are like me and liked nothing more than just cruising around the cities in Driver, you will find Liberty City an interactive envirnment that will never bore you.
