"Cool Grand Theft thingies"

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 dont believe that GTA3 really exsits...

Its just something PS2 owners made up...

I wouldn't normally say this as it's quite a cheesy thing to say, but it really is worth buying a PS2 for. It completely caught me by surprise, and that just made it seem all the more enjoyable. Possibly (and I mean possibly) the best game I have ever played, and one of the only games I've played to actually make me excited to go home and play it. Sad? No. Just excited.

No Grix don't succomb to the PS2 we'll have our turn bragging about the Gamecube and X-box GTA3 we'll be petty to teh gaming enjoyment we will endure shortly.

Again?

Grr... damn it all, need a PS2 again.

Driving your car up a ramp onto the train tracks and playing chicken with the Liberty Chicken trains.

The 'slo-mo' pickups that make everything including the sound go in slomotion, great for shootouts.

Shooting as many policemen as you can before an FBI truck runs you over.

Using the Juggernaut at the docks to pull off the special slo-mo stunts.

Getting your car really damaged, then nudging a police car with it and running away before it blows up taking the policemen with it, then stealing the police car and driving it into the river.

Using the dogfood compound to avoid chasing police cars and lowering your wanted rating.

Finding routes from A-B that involve driving on anything but the roads themselves.

Using the remote control buggy to blow up the Diablos' cars, making the grade, then using the remaining time to blow up police cars.

It's enough to make me want to join my local neighbourhood watch.

Another subject I know nothing of... but hey I have got GTA2. Did you know that if you have a problem getting all of the Wang cars then get one save and then get it again, you get the bonus aswell... cool!

=B0p

FIRE TRUCK :)

With the yardie car if you move the right analogue stick around the hydraulic suspension goes up and down - this makes it my favourite car.
Oh yeah, in Shoreside Vale there is a mini-game by the 'fudge packing corp.' (!) - by Cochram Dam. It tells you to get all the cars on this list but I can't find one - the 'BF Injection'. Does anyone know what this is? Thanks.

Humm...that's a great idea to heighten my criminal rating from Cleaner.
