Developers take note: This is how you introduce and improve a franchise when transtioning to a next gen console!
My Breakdown:
What's Good:
- Graphics (for its day)
- Amusing
- ^ Even the glitches add to the humor
- Fun free roaming experience
- ^ High Replay Value
- Great story
- Collecting cars and stuffing more into your garages than your "suppose" to
- Fun missions
- Kidnapping people and either doing a driveby with them still in the car or trapping them in the car under the metro station so a train can hit the car!
- Riding on the back of a scared pick up truck while the police are casing you
What's-Not-So-Good:
- Some missions can be a pain in the @ss
- Claude can't swim
What's Bad:
- A half @ss Dodo is the only plane you get to use on the game
- No motorcycles
In all, there's a certain charm that the free roaming captures in this game that none of its successors have been able to even duplicate. Seriously, me and my best friend would spend a whole day taping the madness we would cause by just goofing around. To this day, I can go back to this game, goof around and still have just as much fun as I did 9 years ago! Its sucessors obviously do a lot of things better but as far as causing chaos outside of missions, GTA III is the best in the series imo!
