What good is a game that has you bored to tears after playing it for so short a time? It offers me nothing. It really doesn't light my fire. If you like unoriginal, average looking, listless games, then GTA3 is for you. Personally, I like some playability, startegy, and involvement in a game. GTA3 seems to offer none of this. The "only reason to buy a PS2" doesn't inspire me to bother.

Having played on it for only an hour, if that, then you are not entitled to an opinion. What friends you are racking up here for slagging off a game that you have barely played. (notice the sarcasm there?) Pathetic!!

No. I think it's an absolutely apalling game. Sorry. I won't go near it with a ten-foot pole, and I'll avoid any and all sequels simply because I have found the first three games to complete crap, despite the amount of praise they've recieved. As far as I can tell, the only thing the first game had going for it was originality, and press coverage. The shock factor is gone, as is the originality. What's left then? A mundane, and unoriginal game with okish graphics, no strategy, and less than half the gameplay required to keep someone like me involved.

No. I think it's an absolutely apalling game. Sorry. I won't go near it with a ten-foot pole, and I'll avoid any and all sequels simply because I have found the first three games to complete crap, despite the amount of praise they've recieved. As far as I can tell, the only thing the first game had going for it was originality, and press coverage. The shock factor is gone, as is the originality. What's left then? A mundane, and unoriginal game with okish graphics, no strategy, and less than half the gameplay required to keep someone like me involved.
I'm sorry to dissapoint you Jez, but rockstar announced through the week that the PS2 will be the 'only' console to have GTA3. This is until 2004, so even if the game is coming out on the x-box, it won.t be for 2 years.

I'm afraid not. GTA3 is now an exclusive titles on the PS2 until 2004 including the new add-on game planned for october. Its on the PC, but the PC isn't really a console so it isn't in direct competition with the 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 no 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.

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