    I've played all three games, the first two on the PlayStation and the third on the PC. Great fun, and the third's graphics are exceptional. Gotta love the 3D look.

    They are great stress-relievers. :) :evil: Anyone else like these games as much as I do?

    I played the first two (and the London expansion pack) - they were free to donwload from freeloader.com :)

    They were alright, but I found that they got pretty dull after a while. Haven't played the third yet, but it looks great :).

    I liked 1 and 2, but am I the only one who's a bit disappointed with gta 3? I thought it had lost that simple arcade fun.. all of a sudden it isn't dead simple to drive, and all those sick things you could do to people that was fun in 2d is just disgusting in 3d... Picture for example the infamous russian hot dog mission from gta2 in full 3d... I just think it's a bit too serious now, whether it's the 3d or just the missions and the story...

    [​IMG] GTA 3 is an awesome game. Simply amazing, from storyline to gameplay to setting. The details are fantastic, from people chatting and arguing in the streets to the commercials that play on the radio.

    As for the excessive violence...nothing is quite so satisfying as a game that's point system is partially based on killing cops.

    [​IMG] I've played Gta 1 + London, and Gta2. I loved them all. Gta2 + London the best. Gta1 was too hard in my opinion because the cops were too tough and almost phcycic (is that how you spell it? i mean the one to read minds).

    PS Gta2 - I :love: love :love: the stinger, the only car that can outrun a cop car (the speed of cop cars increases to match your speed if you didn't know)

    I have tried out the new GTA 3 and it's great! I have played GTA 1 only but i got tired of it after a while and in the 2nd i couldnt find anything new to get hooked again, so this 3rd is great to me with a lot of new funny stuff! I like the freedom!

    [​IMG] Just got GTA3 a couple of days ago and it rocks. Just the graphics make it worth while...

    Just did a mission where you are to sink this ship, so I crawled onto a roof with a sniper rifle and covered this bomb guy while he did his stuff.

    Man I love this game!!!:D

    I believe Vice City is the add-on for 3 with two new islands. Comes out for the PC too!!

    More news: The fourth in the GTA series is announced and will have Multiplayer!!!

    :coffee:

    Multiplayer? How is that possible? It will surely be a big change.

    Vice City I believe is a separate game, actually, and is 80's themed. :confused:

    Actually Multiplayer was to be in GTA3 but at the last moment they moved that to GTA4.
    Why?? Money

    Pffft :nolike: Capitalism!
