The reason I got a PS2
Grand theft auto 3 is the first time the series went 3D. One and two were top down 2D. It’s also the First time the game has a story. Some guy (never gives a name is the story) get betrayed by a woman during a bank robbery and goes to jail. When he and a few other prisoners get transferred one of the prisoner’s guys comes and breaks him out and letting you and 8 ball free. 8 ball helps you find work and thus the journey begins. You start with missions of pick up a person to saving the woman you love from the mob you worked for. The story is great but has a few to many twist and turn that make it confusing at times.
Besides the mean missions there are the now common side mission like taxi, police, fire fighter, and ambulance driver. Also don’t forget the hidden packages, car finding, ultimate jumps and rampages which have not been in the last few GTA games. With all this to do it will keep you playing for maybe over 50 hours.
The graphs are the best for a game from 2001. All the shapes and edges look sharp but everything looks real and has a lot of color to it. Loading screens when you go to inland to inland are fast still a pain to have them.
The sound is great not all the cars sound the same, people you walk by say thing but they make no sense like "in the navy" and "my money my problems". It sounds like a brunch of phases from hit songs. The music in the game is some what good, there some you will like and not like. All the music was made for this game, there is a channel called flashback I would swear that some of those song are from the 80’s they are the good.
I played this game for a minute at knew I wanted this game and system. It is the reason I got a PS2 in the first place. Seeing Grand Theft Auto evolve in each game shows you that games are getting bigger and better each year. If you have never played a GTA game I would recommend Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. If you have played San Andreas and loved it try this. You may not love it but you will like it. This is a must have for all GTA fans and video game collectors.
