Summary
GTA3 is the game that GTA1 and 2 wanted to be
The Good
I'm not that much in modern action or driving games but I always kept a watching eye for the GTA series. The first was good, the second a bit crappy, and well, the third was a revolution in the series, let's see why:
Fun and original missions.
Being in 3D really adds to the experience, it's very realistic, maybe after playing that game, taking a walk through the city at sunset in real life, you will think to yourself: "Damn, those are good graphics".
The plot itself gets more serious, the first GTA games were too humoristic and ridiculous, also there is an objective for your main character, not only going and doing missions for the sake of it.
The music also is very well chosen, you can run through the city listening to some trance tunes, the soundtrack to the classic 80s film 'Scarface', or even some Opera!
The Bad
Some missions are a bit hard or stupid (why shall i kill X number of gang members shooting them from a car? Can't I go there and make them eat some grenades?)
The car fisics sometimes feel a bit odd, but just sometimes.
I have also found some bugs too (which don't happen very often), when driving too fast some graphics don't have enough time to load and just appear in front of you, "ghost cars" that got trapped trying to walk through a wall, and a few more.
The Bottom Line
That's maybe the only action/driving game I have really enjoyed in my life.
