fear_the_kat's Full Review: Grand Theft Auto (GTA) 3 for PlayStation 2
We've all been in the same situation. One minute, were robbing a bank with a few friends and a girlfriend, and then as we come around a corner, the girlfriend takes a shot, and the next thing you know, your in the back of a Police Enforcer headed to a maximum security prison. But while your being transfered, an attack is launched by a gang on the police convoy, and you and a friend escape. You manage to find a change of clothes, a hideout, and some work. Maybe if you play your cards right, you can get more work, and the more work you get, the closer you get to payback on your 'beloved' girlfriend.
Grand Theft Auto 3 is a game filled with action, excitement, and revenge. It's a huge step-up from the previous two Grand Theft Auto games. The graphics are a bit edgy, but it doesn't slow down the enjoyment factor one bit. With a variety of cars to choose from, and a variety of weapons to utilize, you can easily rule Liberty City. You've just gotta have connections. And you get your connections. Through the span of the storyline, you befriend a bomb expert, and you work for gangs such as the Yakuza, the Diablo, and even the Mafia.
The range of cars is amazing. Whatever you want, you can just steal. The cars range from old clankers, to high-speed hot-rods. Steal police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and if that sort of work is your thing, pull a few jobs in the emergency services. After all, you've already stolen the vehicle. Need even more money? Get a taxi and pick up a few fares. Just don't scare away the customers.
Of course if you want to survive in the city, you'll need weapons, and you'll find them scattered all over. Utilize such tools as a Flamethrower, pistol, AK-47, Rocket Launcher, and Molotov Cocktails. If you thirst for even more power, just hijack a Rhino, a.k.a. a tank.
You break the law, the law follows you. It's a known fact. First, the police will follow you on the ground. Last long enough, and they'll bring choppers and swat teams in. If the police give up on you, you'll have the F.B.I. on your tail. And if you manage to outlast even the F.B.I., the army is called in. If you don't find a Pay 'N Spray soon,you're toast. Yes, the Pay 'N Spray, the place that will quickly change the color of your car and the plates so you can wander about the city looking for more victims.
Of course while your driving, you'll want something to listen to. And Liberty City has a range of radio stations to listen to. You like 80s music? Then tune in to Flashback. If Opera's your thing, then listen to Double Cleff FM. If you want to listen to a hysterical public broadcast show, then tune your radio to Chatterbox.
Whether you want GTA3 for it's vengeful storyline, or you just want to ride away killing and destroying, it's a good game to play. It's also challenging, so if your a hardcore gamer who doesn't believe in cheat codes, take your time and try to survive.
