is gta3 any good on pc
Page:
Umm, some of you don't realise that GTA3 is just like any other game, some people love it, some people like it, some people think its ok, some people dislike it, and some people hate it. Oh yeah, and some people just dont care. Well I personally like it. I dont own a PS2, I just own a PC. I've played it a fair bit on the PS2 but not on the PC. What I want to know is from someone thats played it on both, which format is it best on? I have a 500mhz Celeron, 386MB, 64MB DDR Radeon, 40GB HDD and I want GTA3. Do I get it on PC or do I buy a PS2 or XBox and get it on that? Would it run ok on a 500mhz celeron? If I was to get it on PC I would probably upgrade to 1500-1000 P3 or AMD but would it run on a 500 Celeron in the mean time and would a 1500-1000 P3 or AMD make it run in all its glory with my other current specs?

I have a 600mhz Celeron with 256MB RAM. I'll be getting the PC version soon, so I'll let you know how it holds up on my PC.
I'm considering getting it for the PC despite owning it for the PS2. The only reason I want to is because with the PC version you'll be able to download extra cars and skin as well as other stuff. I have no idea which version is better, or indeed what specs it can be run on, but I think it will make a worthwhile purchase on the PC.
And if you want it on a console then get a PS2. Thats the only console which has the game, plus there is an add-on planned for the console later this year. GTA: Vice city.

Definately get it on PS2. As wll as GTA3, there are loads of other class games like GT3 and, of course, metal gear solid 2. I like this game, but why so much hype about it on pc? Someone reply and tell me some points that make it better on pc, or is it just that the games so big on PS2, that it couldn't avoid the hype. You tell me

Have you ever heard of the xbox! GTA3 is on that too, and has class graphics, but is still best played on PS2.

What are you talking about? You must be insane if you think GTA3 is crap. It's not the best selling game on PS2 for know reason. I think you played it for 5 minutes, Said it was rubbish, played on it some more and when you realised how good it actually is, you had to say all this crap about 12 year olds and nothing new because your too proud to admit your wrong.
