"Grand Theft Auto 3: Shocking Stuff"

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

I just found a ramp and launched my caddy onto a building. However, because the brakes are non too good, I accidentally drove off the side of that and hit the adjacent building, flipped the car and totalled it. Shame, nice car too.

Ummmm Dav1d, if I had a copyright on that then I would sue your AS$

I stole a gang-car and performed a drive-by on several pedestrians...
how do you do a drive by i have tried many times this morning and still aint done one?

Yeah but you would need a pentium 5 million with graphics thingys and gold plated screws to get it to run well.

My PC barely runs Doom, so I don't think GTA3 is an option.

why not wait for the PC version? GTA 1 and 2 were both better on the PC anyway.

Well well well. The Customer Servive thread was full of queries about this and now it's out there seems to be just the same amount of posts about how good it is. I dunno about this game, GTA and GTA2 just weren't my cup of tea but now they've turned it into 3D instead of that awful view it might be worth giving a look.

I might order it, or I might just get Alien Vs Predator 2 instead. Or hell!!!!! Why not just get both?

I cant believe this one game is gonna make me spend £200 to get a PS2!

I is gonna wake up early in the morning(yes somthin i have not done on a saturday for a few years now) and get meself a copy of GTA3.

I new it was gonna be good, but from what I have been reading I had no idea it was gonna be this good.
