  • The Grand Theft Auto series has always had a buzz of controversy surrounding it. With Grand Theft Auto III, DMA Designs has taken the series to a whole new level by bringing it into a fully 3D world, with all of the hard-boiled violence that you've come to expect from these games. GameSpot's Jeff Gerstmann details just about everything you need to know about this over-the-top game.
    "Grand Theft Auto III is, quite simply, an incredible experience that shouldn't be missed by anyone mature enough to handle it."

    The fact is, GTA III is the video game equivalent of Nirvana's Nevermind. This is the one that broke the mold and changed the entire industry. Love it or hate it, you have to appreciate the fact that GTA III is just as important as Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Pac-Man or Space Invaders.

    Guys keep in mind, this review was recorded before RUclips went online, before facebook, 9/11 was still very fresh topic, Apple was on Microsoft's life support, and a lot of people in most developed parts of the world like North America and Europe still didn't have access to the internet.

      GTA 3 came out in 2001 bud. A lot of people in the "developed" parts of the would you are talking about actually had broadband by then. If you didn't have at least dial up internet around that time you were either completely out of the loop or just poor af.

    3:25 The odd camera angle in this specific stunt jump suggests that the version being recorded here was either the incredibly limited 1.40 PAL version of the game (with pre-9/11 content in it) or possibly a slightly earlier preview version of GTA3. [EDIT: The footage has some funny slow-down and other minor details that make me think it’s probably a debug build of some sort.]
