This game changed everything in the Sandbox category. This game was the reason i bought a PS2, i could not believe what could be done in this game! It was great playing the role of mob worker. I cannot imagine what gaming would be like without the Grand Theft Auto series!

and nothing was ever the same

Pros Cons
Addictive gameplay Lousy camera/viewpoint

The game is pretty unplayable by today's standards, but I will never forget the first time I took a baseball bat to a pedestrian's head. It was the first time I actually stopped playing for a moment and said to my self "dear God... What...What have I done?"

My college room mates and I did nothing but play this game for two days straight.

Arguably, this is one of the most import video games ever created. Before 2001, most games were incredibly linear in nature. After this bad boy showed up, gaming was never the same. Never before has there been this much freedom for players. Taking place in Liberty City, a crime infested New York city, where you can pretty much go anywhere you can imagine within the city limits. You can either follow the story line missions, or simply ignore them and blow s@#t up. As a nameless mute character, your basically an errand boy for crooks and complete goals for them. You can steal cars, and give the police one hell of a collective migraine. The story is pretty well done, but the graphics are primitive and ugly even by PS2 standards. Glitchs and pop ups are not uncommon either; gameplay is serviceable, but would take many installments to perfect the formula. As is, GTA III is one kick ass game and a good time waster. Rockstar from here on, keeps breaking the boundaries of what's possible and keeps improving upon itself.

all time classic

what more can be said of this game? really pioneered the free roaming genre, fantastic amount of freedom, my only issues with it is that it promotes retardedness in teenages

A Classic

This by far is my favorite game of all time. When it first came out I remember the countless number of news and talkshows speaking on the conterversey that was GTA3. Being able to pick up a prostitute pay her for whatever you please then kill her and take your money back. It also opened up a totally new genre of gaming by introducing an open-world enviroment. It was also the best selling video game of all time.

Revolutionary

This game back in the day, set new standards and limits for the gaming empire. This game's sandbox feel and gamplay made it a legend in its own right, this game made what games today are. This was the first game to allow gamers to freely roam the environment and do almost whatever they wanted to do. From this game, more games have copied its style. Great game, allow the gaming industry to take a new direction and change the rules of gaming forever.
