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

Sorry, that question is far too Zen for this time of day.
Are you for real?
Maybe, but that be relieved by shooting bag ladies and beating up kids.
I reckon.

I've been reading in a couple of reviews that it can get a bit tedious later in the game.
You know, until now, I thought that this game wouldn't appeal to me, not at all. But now, after reading all of your delighted posts describing how good this game is, I think I....might....just...get IT! HAHA MWAHAHA HAA!
*Runs off down to Blockbusters to buy GTA3*
Well, not quite, I might rent it, and unless I win GAD, I don't think I'll ever get it :(
SHOCKY

I think I'm going to turn to a life of crime if I DON'T get this game by tomorrow!

Well you can't be as weird as yourself. When the winner of the EEGAD was The Fog Nan but on the winners list it says Goatboy, then you start to realise that there is something going on :)
