If you’re an action gamer like me you will probably play every last penny of this AWESOME game!

GTA 3 is the crack cocaine of gaming: You know it's bad for you, but you keep using it. [Sept 2002, p.74]

The perfect gaming experience. Anyone who doesn't like it is a pansy wuss who needs sense beating into them with a baseball bat, and that's a fact. Capiche?

The interaction between player and environment sets the bar so high for other games, that it is nearly inaccessible.

Armchair Empire
A stunning, involving experience that, though not for everyone, will appeal to both the gamer looking for a long, structured action/adventure game and the one looking for loosely organized chaos.

PC Gameworld
I hope you’re not some sissy, the sort of guy who’s afraid to commit crime or see a little (bleep)ing blood splattered around every once in a while. It’s part of the job. If you don’t like it, I hear there’s a new (bleep)ing Barney game and a nice Britney Spears action-adventure out.

Game Informer
Instead of desperately switching through the clumsy auto-targeting, now you're capping fools with a simple flick of the mouse. It's awesome. [August 2002, p.89]

It's a game you could play for weeks -- maybe even months -- and still discover something new every day.

IGN
It's simply huge, and just gets better and better as players dig deeper into it, and the intense open-ended gameplay, believable Artificial Intelligence, pumpin' soundtrack, and total immersion in the cityscape make GTA 3 a delight to play.

GameSpot
Other than the addition of mouselook--whose beneficial impact on gameplay cannot be understated--nothing much has been added...But--and this is a big "but"--GTAIII is a faithful port of a truly exceptional game.

One of the very best things about this game is its almost total lack of any visible interface. [July 2002, p.56]

The sound in GTA III is phenomenal - nothing was overlooked in this department.

ActionTrip
GTA3 suffers a bit from console porting syndrome, and the designers could've worked a bit more on the whole side-quest concept, but I think you'll find that in the end, this is one addictive, intelligent and original game that's definitely worth your money.

Electric Playground
The number of different ways you can play GTA III is astonishing.

What started out as a 10-minute compatibility check turned into an all-night rampage, after I got past all the bugs that is.

All Game Guide
Fun with impressive character development, replay, variety, and gore.

One thing the PC version does have over the PS2 version is the fact players can re-skin the main character, and no doubt in given time people will create modifications and new missions, cars etc for the game.

Game Over Online
It’s not deep and it’s not teaching our children good things about being productive members of society, but it’s fun, and personally that’s all I expect a game to be.

FiringSquad
There’s more senseless violence in GTA3 than there are bleeps in an episode of "The Osbournes."

G4 TV
As shocking, unsettling, and addictively compelling as a viewing of HBO's "The Sopranos." It's just that brilliant of a game. Capiche?
