Grand Theft Auto 3 for PlayStation 2

Pros: realistic city mayhem, tons of missions, original gameplay, amazing graphics

Cons: auto-targeting is glitchy, excessive violence?

The Bottom Line: The controversial hit by Rockstar is a must-own game for the PS2 for the amazing graphics, gameplay and city mayhem that you will not see anywhere else.

Review: Grand Theft Auto 3 (GTA3), Rockstar’s controversial hit was banned in Australia due to it’s excessive violence, disrespect for elders, as well as the unrestrained mayhem the game promotes. This is a video game that draws great attention, because...

Pros: Umm, yeah, the police are pros, I suppose. And the mob too

Cons: Hell, this entire city is full of cons, and ex-cons!

The Bottom Line: I'd like to do a drive-by on the bottom line.

Review: Back when the original Grand Theft Auto was released for the PlayStation and PC, I remember looking and playing the game, and thinking “this is a game that’s well ahead of its time” – all the ideas that DMA Design (now Rockstar North)...

Pros: This game proves that gamers love doing what ever they want in a video game.

Cons: The lock on system is a bit out dated.

The Bottom Line: It's cheap now so you have no excuse not to pick up this awesome but gritty action game.

Review: GRAND THEFT AUTO III (Rockstar Games, October 2001) For many gamers part III here was their first Grand Theft Auto video game they ever played. The previous GTA 2D games had all the wild and therefore very controversial content of the newer ...

Pros: Killing people... oh, and jacking vehicles.

Cons: The dialogue from the city's people kind of becomes too redundant.

The Bottom Line: Grand Theft Auto III leaves much room for hours and hours of gameplay. Parents: be aware that this game is also one of the most violent titles in existence.

Review: Genocide, mayhem, anarchy.... With these tools of destruction from within the social system of life, Rockstar Games and DMA Design are taking their creative genius and turning it inside out to show everyone what makes a dangerous thought real. It's Grand ...

Pros: Sex, drugs, and graphic violence equal one highly addictive game (for mischievous gamers)

Cons: Game slows down occasionally; visibility at some points in the game, content is VERY graphic

The Bottom Line: A must play for mature game players. One of the greatest games ever designed, its attention to detail is amazing. Highly addictive.

Review: GRAND THEFT AUTO 3 is THE best video game I have ever had the oppurtunity to play. The translation from a standard one dimiensional game (GRAND THEFT AUTOs 1 and 2) to a completely 3-D game landscape is probably among the smoothest I've ever seen, and...

Pros: Everything

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: The Best Game of the Year.

Review: Note -- Over the weekend I saw Ali and A Beautiful Mind. Ali bores like few films can. I’m not saying it’s terrible, in fact it is quite good in parts, but it is so over done -- easily at least 45 minutes could have been trimmed....

Pros: Freedom to wreak havoc - anytime, anywhere.

Cons: ..No, Rockstar will not con you out of $50

The Bottom Line: Yessssss...

Review: Liberty City is vast and bustling, a perfect environment to blend into while you're running from the law. You begin as a small-time crook who gets screwed over by your girlfriend during a bank heist. She leaves you to be picked up by the cops, but you...

Pros: Do whatever you want! ANYTHING!!! AHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Cons: The targeting just plain sucks

The Bottom Line: Got a watch? Swing it in front of your face. You are getting sleepy, Sleeeeeeepy.... Good. Now go buy this game. And slap yourself whenever you hear the phone ring.

Review: Pop quiz, hot shot: You're sitting at a traffic light, and the light just turned green. It's been about ten seconds, but the old guy in front of you hasn't even started to move yet. What do you do? What do you do? Do you a: wait patiently, b: give...

Pros: Smash cars, kill people, pick up prostitutes, suffer no repercussions

Cons: $50, and will seriously cut into your sleep time

The Bottom Line: You need Grand Theft Auto 3, do these things in real life, and you'll die young.

Review: I just can't wait to steal cars, run people over, beat people with baseball bats, shoot people, and then celebrate with a prostitute, and maybe take some drugs.

Grand Theft Auto 3 lets me do all those things and more from the comfort of my own...

Pros: see review

Cons: some minor graphical problems

The Bottom Line: I'll talk to you later, chum

Review: We don't get many games like DMA's Grand Theft Auto 3 anymore. Games you can just start playing; anytime of the day, for as much time as you want. Have five minutes to kill? Boot up GTA 3 and take a Barracks OL out for a superbly destructive spin....
