I'm sorry but I don't see how a game with such awful aims, filled with such terrible language and scenes of explicit violence can recieve so much praise. I mean the game literally rewards you for driving on the pavement, mowing down any and every pedestrian you see.
I am of course talking about Grand Theft Auto 3, the most diabolical game to hit the shelves in a long while. The only game I can think that rivals it's unacceptability is Grand Theft Auto 2 and before that Grand Theft Auto 1.
I confess, I did buy it. I was attracted by the reviews and the positive comments made by people who had purchased it. But it was the biggest mistake I think I have ever made (except for when I took off all my clothes and ran into the local shop shouting 'I need peanut butter!'.....but that's a long story and this is neither the time nor the place). As I was saying, I did buy the game but after 10 minutes of play I was physically sick. How can this game have gotten past the censors?!
You are given money for causing the most chaos and destruction as possible! You are given a vast array of weapons to do so! The AK-47 was pushing it, the M16 may have gone too far but the Sniper Rifle is just downright ridiculous. I mean do they honestly think that us 'normal' people will find it amusing to zoom in on a poor innocent person's head and pull the trigger? If they do, I am truly sickened!
And then there is the actual graphic level of violence. It's bad enough as it is, but they have included a 'gore' cheat. A gore cheat of all things! Arms being ripped off! Heads flying up in the air! Blood gushing from open wounds! This is stepping beyond the line. This really is going one step too far. I hope they are put in jail for this outrage! No developer should get away with the things that have been included in this game.
This game can only be classed as an 'anti-rehabilitation' object. It should be banned immediately. It's rated 18 for a reason? IT'S RATED 18 FOR A REASON!?!?! This is sick! An 18 year old would probably be crying for his mummy after a few hours of play. Whether he'd be beyond help is unknown but there'd certainly be lasting side effects!
Thank God that people can't just own guns in this country. God Help America I can tell you that right now! This is gonna have some serious effect on their society. I can see the news head lines right now - "Man ran over repeatedly whilst criminal re-enacts gaming moment".
And I am furious with Michael Madsen. Joe Pantoliano doesn't know any better but Michael Madsen! How can he have agreed to do the voice of a gangster in this outrage of a game?! Has he gone mad?
*remembers Free Willy*
Okay scrap that!
This is the sickest, most revolting, most disturbingly grotesque game I have ever had the pleasure of playing. Pleasure? Did I say pleasure?! You see, it's effected me already. BAN IT! BAN IT NOW!

An unusual reviewing technique I admit and I didn't actually realise it was a review until I had finished but if that doesn't persuade people to buy the game, I don't know what will.

Finnally, someone who agrees with me. GTA 3 is not that good, nor are any of the Gta games
Until I got to the bottom I thought I was reading the Daily Mail. ;-)
I did read it all. Which is just as well, because I was about to start calling him "Potty Votty" and lay into him for being a blinkered fool who can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality.
I should have known better, of course! :-)
I might just start calling him Potty Votty anyway, just for the hell of it. Potty for short.

And the problem is???
It's all just a piece of fun what you do in the game is ebyond fantasy, picking up prostitutes reading posters sayng "Pirates in men pants, prepare for a jolly rogering" and listening to LAzlo on chatterbox FM its all a great laugh.
What i find funny is that they banned Pokemon in some countries and only GTA3 in one :D

Nice "Review"....
I actually thought you were being serious up until the last few lines!
This game truly is amazing..... Without the violence it has, it just wouldnt have been the same game
As for the "Gore Cheat", I think I'll have to try that sometime!

Remember it aint real...only a game...
Just the same as what happens in any normal gangsta movie. Okay, they dont run over innocent people in the same way...but you can play the whole of GTA3 without killing innocent people. What i mean by innocent is normal average people on the street...Killing them is not an aim in the game.
