I was a very good game and i only ever finished it 97%

Anyway back to the really thing

what was your favorite part of GTA 3 ?

My favorite part was when i first played on it i remember it so well it had just loaded up and i skiped the start so i had missed it unknowingly (sp) and so i carryed on playing. Right at the start on the ver first mission i thought 'oh great its one of these games where your allways in a mission, thinking of GTA 1 & 2, i thought i suppose it would be a good change and carried on playing soon to realise that it wasn't and i should have watched the start and i ended up watching the start about 50 times when i just got onto the last island and thought i wounder where that bank is i looked for hours on end and i eventually gave up went on the internet and had a look if anyone knew where it was and they did.

So behind the cliff's i went to find this place taking about 100 attempts to get round i eventually got there and acctually landed on the island got out thinking i've got to be careful because the ground ist solid and guess what. i could have sworn i saw and alien thier. anyway GREAT GAME.

i used to like jumping on the back of cars and letting them drive me around, use the gun with crosshair and fps view, was great, fire and the car speeds up.

You forgot fitting your car with a remote bomb, then letting it roll off a cliff, then blowing it up before it hits the bottom. That way nearby pedestrians run towards the car, therefore falling off the cliff. Much fun.

It's the same when you steal 2 cars then use one to knock the other into the sea from a height, do this near pedestrians and they'll run right into the ocean and drown themselves.

Yeah, the Yakuza Stinger was my favourite car in GTA 3 too. I loved just driving around the islands as fast as possible with the rock radio station on. A superb feeling.

However, one of the best cars was the Bobcat. Just outside the hospital on the second island, there was a set of traffic lights. A Bobcat would always pull up and stop there within a minute of waiting, so all you had to do was hop into the back. Hey presto - you've got your own vehicle to shoot from. It was incredible fun just gunning down lots of people, chucking grenades into the paths of passing cars and what have you as your unsuspecting driver just carries on taking you around the city. Then the police started chasing/shooting you, and the car sped up to breakneck speed as you stuggled to stay on. Brilliant.

Which brings me on to my next point - wouldn't GTA online be incredible? Having your friend driving, with you "riding shotgun" on the back would be so much fun.

10 great things to do in Grand theft auto.

1. smash up cars.

2. smash up planes.

3. plant car bombs and drop them off near your enemy.

4. remote bombs and wait for people to step on them, then blow them up.

5. try and fly the dodo.

6. get cash and buy weapons until you have loads of ammo and then go on a killin spree, try and get 100 people 50 seconds.

7. drive cars off cliffes and watch them go in the air and crash.

8. kick some cop butt.

9. free driving (free running in a car)

10. collect packages

You have to finish all of the film studio missions first. Once you've done them, look for a door at the rear of the studios and you'll find the sea plane in the water.

Yea I can understand you from that point of view, it certainly was a challenge.

But the best thing about helicopters? Hovering over pedestrians then landing on their heads. Try it.
