Grand Theft Auto 3 lets you explore the fully realised universe that is Liberty City, and complete gangland missions. You can steal any car you see, from sports cars to taxis, and even boats. There are over a dozen ways to take out other characters, including fist-fighting, baseball bat, handgun, Uzi, rocket launcher, and Molotov cocktail. The game world has unpredictable weather, a variety of pedestrian types who act in unique ways, changing times of day and night, and a multi-tiered, fully corrupt police force. The revenge plot offers strong story elements that are balanced with the game's non-linear freedom-of-movement.

GTA 3, the game that took the GTA series to another level.
Claude the strong silent protagonist. Gets betrayed and is on a mission for revenge, and in the end he even gets the girl.

GTA 3 is a fun and satisfying game.
Some of the missions get frustrating and you have to do them multiple times but when you beat each mission and then the entire game without using cheats, thats a good feeling.

There is something i didnt like though, there is only one main mission on the 3rd island Shoreside Vale, a little disapointing.
