is gta3 any good on pc

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

i wouldn't get it for the pc as well. It's almost the same, but it's good if you dont have a games console. it's kind of hard to control i think. What about everyone else?

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.

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.

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?

GTA3 is a good game. To slate it on the pretence that it's main appeal lies in it being an escape from reality is to slate just about every computer game around. If it's not your thing, then fine. It may not be everyone's cup of tea.

However, so long as people like to kill in games, and like the freedom of exploring a virtual world, then GTA3 certainly has aspects in it's favour. It allows you to do as you wish in a dynamic reality-based world. What's more, is that it allows this to be done in ways not previously explored to the same level of interaction.

I played it for about an hour, which was more than I could take, I was bored after about 15 minutes.

who's exaggerating? The average person on these forums doesn't own a PS2. Go figure.

Your logic really is laughable. You say you haven't got a PS2. That means you must have played it elsewhere, and in doing so you have obviously not explored the game fully. To tell you the truth, i honestly think that you have never played GTA3 and are still trying to defend your earlier 'GTA3 is gay' comment.

And you know that the average age, and intelligence, of these forums is considerably higher than you make out. Wild exaggerations won't help your cause.
