The Grand Theft Auto series has always had a buzz of controversy surrounding it. With Grand Theft Auto III, DMA Designs has taken the series to a whole new level by bringing it into a fully 3D world, with all of the hard-boiled violence that you've come to expect from these games. GameSpot's Jeff Gerstmann details just about everything you need to know about this over-the-top game.

I remember first playing this back in '01 & thinkin to me sen "there's no way anything will ever top this" the graphics, the cinematics, the sounds of the city... all while listenin to RISE FM. ace, ace days. Exept when you crash into an invisible wall and get stuck.GTA V, MAY2012 --tennerbet.

The only problem with this game is your character. He doesn't say anything, so there is no character development like in San Andreas and the other later games. This is still an excellent game though.

man... back then this ffx, max payne, and metal gear solid was the decade of gaming for me. Playing this game, while it rained, with a blanket over me was so fun and carefree. Sigh.... now with school and work.

This game would have been good or great if the controls were at least remotely responsive and smooth.

@Homefree122 I totally agre wih you. The old Gamespot reviews were much more fun and relaxed. You got to actually feel how the reviewer felt about the game, and his enthusiasm for it. All the more recent video reviews seem so rehearsed and dull. These were the classics.

for those who say the game is 'good' Im sure you're too young to have played it in 2001 but you gotta understand when this game came out there was nothing like it. to this day, its wit and humor along with story and gameplay is some of the best ever and was truly groundbreaking at the time. this game is still fantastic and its a bummer not every gamer had the opportunity to appreciate this title during its inception. the memories I have of switching between this and MGS2 late at night give me a warm comfy feeling. ahhh to be young again. "they don't make em like the used to."

Cool game but lacks the features of san andreas or vice city. By now it's way outdated.
