Ok.
This is the game my PS2 was made for. However, it is massively violent, immoral and just plain wrong.
I am an adult and am clearly not affected by video-game violence, so it's ok for me to like this.
Reasons why GTA3 is good:
Variable weather.
During one mission, it rained, then got foggy, then got sunny again.
The rain effects are incredible and affect the handling of the cars/vans etc
Crashes
I crashed many time and ran away to crash again.
This is a good thing.
Police Cars
They go fast with sirens blazing, the other cars pull over and stop.
So I ran into them and stole more cars
Violence
I beat up several old people and stole their pensions.
Then I beat up some prostitutes and stole their money
Then I beat up more old people, because it was funny and they dont fight back too well
I beat up a police man, stole his shotgun and wandered about shooting old people.
I stole a gang-car and performed a drive-by on several pedestrians, then the police caught me.

Ok, joking apart.
The level of mayhem and wanton violence in this game is shocking, the fact you can shoot old people and rob them, or shoot anyone and rob them?
Or run them down?
or set them on fire?
If I wasn't a responsible adult, and secure that people will play this and realise it's only a game, it'd be worrying.
Incredible graphics, gameplay like you wouldn't believe and it IS the best thing to grace the PS2 so far.
Without exception.
And because it is "only a game", it's amusing to rob, murder and carjack for entertainment.
And the voice acting?
Joe Pantiolano (The Matrix, Bound, The Goonies)
Robert Loggia (Scarface and many, many others)
Kyle Machlachlan (Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet etc)
And others.
This game rules, and I can't deny it made me glad I got a PS2.
Finally, a year after launch (almost), it is starting to show what it is capable of.
Expect The Daily Mail to start it's usual "Ban this sick filth" campaign in a day or two.
And I hope none of you under-18s are playing this, because that would be illegal.
Or something

This game sounds absolutely amazing! I haven't got mine yet.
Are you offering to buy it for me?
Grix, are you still getting a PlayStation 2?
Yeah, just read the army ad - showed it to a couple of the other guys in the office, and we all sat there giggling like idiots.
Damn dirty Sony agreement. Can't get it on PC until a year. GTA4 will be out then anyway.
Apparently being compared to Elite. That's a mighty big statement.
Not that in Elite you could steal a ambulance and then go around running people over, but in the same way of having complete and utter freedom.

Read the adverts in the back pages, the one for the army rocks
I now have my copy.
Stuck at work, reading the manual.
Long afternoon ahead.
