Savetehaloz review's the most revolutionary crime game of all time; Grand Theft Auto III

User Rating: 8.5 | Grand Theft Auto III PC

GTA III was the first GTA game I ever played. The game is extremely addictive; even after finishing all the missions. The game itself is a solid port from the PS2, with a few minor aesthetical issues here and there. I used a midrange PC (512 mb RAM) and the game worked perfectly with no graphical slowdowns even when moving from location to location. However, six years after its release in 2002, is this game worth picking up?

GTAIII is similar to GTA San Andreas in most aspects, except San Andreas is better in terms of graphics and gameplay. You can't enter in and out of buildings in GTA III, like specific stores and all and you can't swim. GTAIII also features a small Cessna like airplane called the Dodo, which is terrible to fly. All in all, GTA III is like a smaller and less interactive San Andreas.
Even with the settings turned on to high, the textures were still pretty washed out and the types of cars could be more diverse. There are also no motorbikes in GTAIII. The PC version also features a "rewind" utility (default key is F1) which lets you view up to 30 seconds (i think) of gameplay.

All in all GTAIII is a pretty solid game only worth picking up if you want to dig into the Grand Theft Auto series' rich history of games.
