| The first few missions are easy to handle, but as time passes by and you get better, the missions get harder; so there will be a million guys waiting for you; all of 'em with itchy trigger-fingers, nice! A good new feature is that there's an actual time, the clock ticks on, minute by minute -which is a second in real life though- so you can experience day and night; this will be accompanied by some cool weather effects such as fog and rain. One of the coolest features in GTA3 has to be the music, when you grab a car and split, a pre-set radiostation will fill the room with vibrant sound, with a single click on the L1-button, you can choose from several other stations all with different music style and chatter. All sorts of commercial, deejays and songs, ranging from rock to disco, it makes you believe you're actually listening to your own radio! My favourite station is where classical jive and opera-sonnets guide you along the streets, it ain't over 'till the fat lady sings, right? And she never stops. Stealing cars, driving over people, killing pimps, collecting hookers, doing road-trips, this game has it all. It's still a mission-based game, but it does it with so much style and class that you just can't resist doing the things that make this game the best game the planet has ever seen, it definitely comes extremely close... If you don't feel like driving, just walk around city watching grandmas getting mugged, fat guys picking up prostitutes, the mafia shooting a two-faced rat or simple bash the living daylights out of Chinese warlords, or Italian scum, pick one. Don't get too scared when the police, or even the army comes running after your sorry ass though: these guys aren't to play around with if you haven't got decent protection! All those things you can do, GTA3 is certain to let you play for 70-80 hours if you want to complete the whole shebang; it's a true filled package with nothing more than perfection in it, hmm, that's the word to describe the game; "perfection"; cars lose bodyparts and smoke emerges form your car when crashing too much, GT3 eat your heart out! The best part is that for all your violent missions, you get paid, how cooler can it get? The guy you're controlling also sticks out his middle-finger to lads who are too rude and to the coppers, it's in the little things that make this game so vast and give it such a large long term. Yes, I think all of you have guessed it by now, Grand Theft Auto III is simply amazing, this game deserves more than ten actually: it makes every other game look like something the cat dragged in; it's really that good. Do mind not to get as bloodthirsty and violent as in GTA, but if you don't really care, dig in as fast as you can!! You'll be hooked from the second when you' see this pure gem; I know I am and when you get pulled in, nothing can stop you from becoming the ultimate crime.. guy...type of thing. Now go buy it, and rule like a king, damn hell as kings!! Rikki Van Gas 9.8 The greatest game ever made, and it's on PS2! Opinions Round-Up |
