Great classic! This was my first time actually finishing GTA III instead of just driving around, and it was definitely fun. The missions were interesting, obviously, they weren't even close to the missions we see in the other GTA games, but they were still an interesting experience. Playing this game, you can really see how much GTA has evolved over the years. I loved how ridiculous the driving is, the gameplay where you shoot someone in the head and their head just falls off, and how if you go into the water, even ankle-deep, you drown to death. It's just fun and really unserious.
Rating: Nostalgia / 10 I honestly cannot rate this game as bad, even if in this day and age it isn't great. But when this came out in 2001, it was insane, just absolutely mental. There wasn't a game like it, and as a teenager, it was the perfect time to be playing it. I remember System of a Down's "Toxicity" had released a month before, so we'd be blaring that in my brother's room while we played this game. I also remember that the Dodo was supposed to be flyable, but due to 9/11, they clipped the wings, either out of respect or pressure from their publisher. I would say as far as the Definitive Edition goes, this was the best of the lot, but that's not saying much. There were a lot of bugs and perf issues. They missed the opportunity to modernize this, just like remake it in the GTA V engine, and you'd be golden, but they didn't, so here we are. I almost wish I had left the member berries alone and not played it, but like I said, because it's GTA III, I can't rate this bad. If you're like me and played the original 1/4 of a century ago, don't play this version. Just keep that memory there.
A lot of nostalgia was wiped away with the new graphics, but it's still in there, flawed and charming in its own way. But GTA III walked, so that the others could run, you can clearly tell they were just starting to figure out the world of Grand Theft Auto, in the 3D space. You need to have atleast one playthrough of this, to truly appreciate the series. I for one completed the game a looooong time ago (i feel old now), my mom bought the PC version on release, original CD and all. This was actually the first game i ever played with my (long deceased) step-cousin, i still remember the first time we booted up the game and i saw the death animations and screeching, good times.
Just finished 100% completing this game on PC and honestly, I'm glad I ignored all the negative reviews and bought it anyway. I'm not sure what game some of these reviewers were playing, because my experience was completely different. I didn't run into a single bug during my entire playthrough. Performance was smooth from start to finish on my pretty average gaming PC. The AI behaved normally, combat felt fair, and at no point did my car get randomly one-shotted. Everything worked exactly as I'd expect it to. Could the game be perfect? No. But based on my experience, a lot of the complaints seem wildly exaggerated. I had a great time, completed everything the game had to offer, and never encountered any of the major issues people keep talking about. Seems like a skill issue.
The year was 2001, friend had PS2. Every day after school we would sink hours into the magical 3D world of chaos that was emerging in front of our eyes for the first time. We certainly broke at least two dual shock controllers inputting the cheats :D Action is fast for todays standards, missions are quick, but it throws me back to that times of no worries except where to run over another hooker... Played on Steam Deck.
