The reason this game gets on my nerves is because:

Firstly, you can't swim (i mean what good is that)

Secondly, you can get stuck inside the graphics (you get dead far and, it crashes)

Thirdly, the voices on this game are pathetic (all of them)

Fourthly, it's so god damn addictive (thats the worst thing about it)

If you havn't got this game yet and your thinking about getting it there is four reasons above why not to get it. But i'll still admit it is a good game, and i know how to Ghost Town, and you don't..ha ha ha ha!

Thanks for reading
Kram :-)

Chack the link if you want proof. It'll probably be released some time in October, although rockstar haven't yet confirmed a date.

I didn't see Agent under fires response, but its a good idea. I suppose it would be nice feature to swim a tiny bit so you can save your own skin if you accidently fall in the water, but I don't think that not having the ability to swim in the game is a bad thing. The only problem I had with the game is that the cops always seem to go after you and not other criminals. Thats about the only thing I can see wrong in GTA3.

I agree. GTA3 is a fantastic game. When i first heard that GTA3 wasn't going to be a top-down affair like GTA1&2 i thought the game might lose some of its appeal, but it didn't at all. GTA3 is a brilliant game and i also can't wait for the data disc!

Agent Under Fire does have a very good point though. It would be so useful if you had the ability to swim a few yards. This would enable you (if you were quick enough) to climb out of a car you've just crashed into the sea and swim the short distance back to the shore.

If you could swim, then the chances are you could swim to the other islands defeating the point of unlocking them through the missions.

And just what kind of argument is 'you can't swim' anyway. No you can't swim, but you can steal any car you want, complete a wide range of missions from the usual gangs types to those in taxi's and fire engines, and get the chance to explore a huge living breathing city at will which is full of places to explore and tons of secrets to find.

What is it with people looking for flaws in games? Have you forgotten how far GTA3 has come from its predecessors? I love this game, it puts so much in the GTA series that was missing from the first two, and can't wait for the add-on discs and sequel to come out.

I don't know why you are moaning because every game game has mistakes and GTA3 is no exception.

GTA3 is a great game to play for about a month, which is a long time for me, until it starts to get repetitive. The fact that there are loads of missions, meaning a long time until the game gets boring. Unfortunately, the unseemingly dull way of killing people does, eventually get a bit boring. The thing that will keep you going mind, is exploring other ways to create greater acts of crime. One of my favourite ways, is to steal cars and create a barrier outside a set of stairs. Now the way up the stairs is blocked, you can snipe or just let lead rip to slay innocent citizens. Another annoying factr about the game is the amount of helicopters the police own, i mean you blow up three(a realistic amount) but they keep sending them in groups of two. This can get very annoying when concentrating on decapitating someone.
