Now might not be the most appropriate time for a topic like this, but talking about games tends to take my mind of more important matters. Anyhoo, now that I own the lovely Grand Theft Auto 3 on PS2, I was wondering what nice little touches you have found in the game. Here are some I've found:

The pedestrians occasionally shout lines from Village People songs (listen carefully)
The door on the car doesn't shut if you drive off before you close it.
The Banshee in the show-room next to 8-Ball's place.
The massive slow-down jump moments.
When it gets dark, you can see your car turn its lights on.
People going into sex shops.
The radio stations are, I think, what make the game. Favourite by far is Chatterbox, I've parked and listened to it for several minutes on end. Genius.
The drive-by Uzi thing.

Any more I may have missed? A mate says you can bounce the Yardie cars, but I've not seen this yet. Enlighten me, chat-a-holics.

i don't own it but found some cool things when i played it at a freinds

you can sell emergancy vehicules at the docks. Find the magnetic lifter, stop under it and get out, wait a sec and then get cash as you vehicule is hoisted away.

also look out for ramps.

there is one in frount of a row of trucks near the docks. Use a police car to jump it for a bonus.

he he

its the best game on the PS2

yes i admit it

lol, is there an end to the brilliance of this game?

i shot the moon, nothing really special in what happens, nowhere near as good as gunning down the Cartel.

Has anybody tried shooting the moon yet with the sniper rifle? Try it and see what happens.

I found this out yesterday. When the chopper comes after you, the guys inside start yelling things like:

"We're going to kill you.." "Dude, you can't say that!"
"Does anyone know how to read the manual for this thing?"

Any more little cool things I missed? My fave radio station is definitely Chatterbox, I could listen to that for hours.

hehe. It IS worth buying a PS2 for this game. Thats what I did on sunday. I used to play the original GTA and that was fun but all that carnage in first person mode, could it get better?
