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.

Where are the Harish Chrisnas(can't spell it) that plagued the first game. Are they in there? Cos I didn't come across them. They were great fun... :/

THE TANK!
You storm through the town shooting stuff and get to a point where even pedestrians are trying to get you out of it.
Also the slowness of the prostitutes. Take your time love is all I could say as she walked to my door on the corner of a road. Sadly a car ran her over :/ probably got fed up waiting. That was a classic :D
And to think I could be playing it for real this week every night on a new PS2!!

Those are the steelworkers, in the pink-ish hard-hats, check shirts and shorts. There's something about all the steelworkers of America being gay - it was also the subject os a Simpsons episode.

Yep, but he leans over and closes it when you let off the accelerator!

You can only get the Yardie cars on the second Island (Staunton Island). They are maroon in colour, with a beige roof and leopardskin seats. Pressing L3 while in one activates the hydraulic suspension, and using the right analogue stick will tip the car.

I like it when the door stays open whilst driving as you said and knock it off when you bang into a wall or something...
I need to ask can Americans keep tabs on those planes? Not a joke but it is getting silly now.
