And lo, it is good. In fact, it's the most blinding game I think I've ever played. I'm talking of course, about the wonder of Grand Theft Auto 3. If youhaven't already got it, then buy it (unless you're a youngster). Top moments so far:
Finding some Docks and a massive boat at about half 12 last night, which I didn't notice for about 5 hours.
Stealing an Ambulance and driving it up a ramp, landing it on a Paramedic, treating the man I just beat up.
The 'street race' mission.
The insane stunt bonuses.
Joe Pantoliano doing a voice.
Running over everyone.
Stealing a bloke's car, then having him run up beside me, pull me out and steal it back. Git.
Seriously, I expected it to be good, but I never expected it to be so flipping massive, I could spend hours not touching any of the missions. The best game I have played in ages, go get it, even if you haven't got a PS2, buy both - it's worth every penny.

Its the best game I think Ive ever played!! I like running over all the tramps in the tunnel repeatedly!!
It sounds sooo good. But I have absolutly no cash. So if anyone is willing to donate a PS2 to me I will be happily obliged :o)
Buy a PS2....Buy a PS2....Buy a PS2...
Really though, it's a good time to invest, with the excellent WRC,Burnout, Jak and Daxter, Devil may Cry coming out before christmas and many more top class pieces of gaming coming afterwards.
And I wouldn't say it if it wasn't true.
Trust me, I know what I'm doing...

I have heard rave reviews of Grand Theft Auto 3 for the Playstation 2, which means that the PC version should also be good. However, Grand Theft Auto 3 isn't released on the PC until March 30th 2001, so I have 2 choices. There is the easy way, or the hard way.
The Easy Way - Convince yourself to buy a Playstation 2 and buy Grand Theft Auto 3 with it. This is considerably more expensive than the 2nd and final option.
The Hard Way - Hold out until 30th March, with your money saved. Go to Special Reserve on the day of release and buy the game. This may be less-expensive, but it will kill me to wait 5 months. Let's jsut hope that the release date is brought foward, not back!
All have fun playing Grand Theft Auto 3, while I must wait those precious 5 months to get my greedy, grubby mits on it. By the time I get it, it will be yesterday's news and everyone would have completed by then and that eliminates the excitement of a new game. I am very disappointed that I have to wait this long and it makes me re-consider getting a Playstation 2.
Thanks for reading.

Nice tagline there pb, I came online yesterday from 4pm til around 12. But suddenly around 10pm my life flashed before my eyes, SR was down and no one was online to fix it, I was just about to reach for my gun and walk into the light........
It was awful, I couldn't even buy a game from them so I had to go else where cos I'm an impatient sod.

Bless SR for providing my copy of this game. The fates have dealt me a cruel blow though, with a severe lack of time to play this wonderful game. Even this weekend looks full from here...
Great isn't it?!
Just looking at the surroundings and comparing this instalment to the previous just shows how much technology has advanced.
The thing with GTA3 that really bothers me are all the gangs, Triads especially. Everytime I drive/walk past Chinatown they start pelting me with artillery. They're everywhere and I hate them!
I recently past the mission where you had to kill Salvatore Leone 'cos he tried to kill me with a booby trapped car. Now all the mafia are against me turning like the Triads. Bummer!
Anyway, great game that you can't help, but keep on playing it!

It is soooo good, I managed to do the last mission in the game the other day (quite tricky but brill when you pull it off)
Best moment is shooting the helicopters down until the FBI and army come (On the casino roof is the best place as it is hard for the cops to get you) then stealing a tank and causing major mayhem throughout the city.
