"Gorgeous, Terrorising, Angry (3)"

When someone goes on about something for so long that it makes you want to scream it usually means one of two things:
1. It's a complete pile of pants.
2. It's the best thing since, well, something really good.

You know what I'm talking about by now I'm sure - yes, it's another blimmin' GTA3 post.....

When I first spied this title several months ago I wasn't really all that fussed. I like the original version quite a lot although it wasn't exactly game of the decade.
Controversial? Yes
Different? Yes
Best game ever? Certainly not.

Screenshots of GTA3 didn't really look particularly impressive and in many ways I still stand by my initial reaction - Driver 2 with an 18 licence.

I've played it now though and I'm going to retract everything negative that I've said about this game so far - it's absolutely fantastic.

The thing is, I don't really know where to begin. Yeah so you can shoot people, you can steal cars and then run over the owner, you can beat people to death with baseball bats and you can even kill Police officers. That's pretty much the controversial part of the game and yes - it's all quite grim and disgraceful depending on how you look at it.

In reality though - it is just a game. The point is that you CAN go and do these things and it's not going to result in a lifelong prison sentence. To cover that the game has even been given an 18 licence.

So is it just being controversial for the sake of it?
I honestly believe that this is not the case at all.
The vehicle handling in GTA3 is superb - I've played driving games in which the vehicles handle less realistically than in this title!

Radio stations (several of them) can be accessed, you can even nick a Taxi and raise some money by picking people up like a normal cab driver would.

GTA3 is genius, the first part of Liberty City is huge and there is an intelligent game underneath the obvious violence.
If you're not 18 don't buy it, if you're going to go out and pull people out of their cars after playing it then don't buy it either - if you've got a wicked sense of humour and enjoy a superb game then go and get this now.

I honestly thought that this was going to be a case of "If you liked the first two then you'll love this". It's just not so - EXCELLENT.

If he says no I wouldn't worry about it too much. Respect his decision and go for something else.



GTA3 isn't really that good a game anyway.....



WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
