Descripción del fabricante
With Grand Theft Auto III, Rockstar proves that not all developers are
concerned with toning down the violence in their games. This sequel is even more
bloody, violent, and sadistic than its popular predecessors, offering up an
enormous 3-D city in which nearly any criminal act is possible. Players are free
to steal cars, beat up the local population for their money (or weapons), make
time with prostitutes, or simply roam to their heart's content. Those seeking
more structure can embark on dozens of plot-driven missions or steal cars that
let them play minigames. Nab a cop car and you can go on vigilante missions.
Grab a cab and you can play a deadly version of Crazy Taxi. Take a fire
truck and you can earn money putting out fires. The game just never gets boring.
As in real life, there are consequences for your criminality. As your random
acts of mayhem mount up, the police start hounding you, eventually calling in
SWAT trucks, the FBI, and even the army if you continue down the path of
destruction. Shaking these pursuers is easily the most fun part of the game,
especially when a bunch of friends are packed in the room to witness your narrow
escapes.
Grand Theft Auto III is fine-tuned to near perfection in every category.
All the vehicles, from slick sports cars to lumbering dump trucks, handle
exactly as you'd expect and smash apart realistically when abused. The three
islands in the game are rendered in terrific detail considering their size, and
are packed with traffic, pedestrians, and hidden jumps. The audio is equally
amazing. Pedestrians talk, cops scream at you, and you can tune in nine
different radio stations whenever you are in a car. It all adds up to a
monumental achievement: the rare console game for adults that manages to get
everything right. --T. Byrl Baker
Pros:
- Offers an enormous world for players to exploit, rendered in staggering detail
- Equally fun whether you go on plot-based missions or run around as a freelance
crook
Cons:
- Ultraviolence, foul language, and adult situations mean you'll want to keep this
far away from kids
- It takes too long to get from one island to another, making some missions
tedious
You've been betrayed and left for dead. Now you're taking revenge, unless the
city gets you first. Mob bosses need a favor, crooked cops need help, and street
gangs want you dead. You'll have to rob, steal, and kill just to stay out of
serious trouble. Anything can happen out here. Grand Theft Auto III
features a fully 3-D living city, a combination of narrative-driven and
nonlinear gameplay, and a completely open environment.
Players are put at the heart of their very own gangster movie, in which anything
can happen and probably will. With a cast of hundreds, 50-plus
vehicles--including sports cars, ice-cream trucks, boats, and buses--three hours
of music, (including opera, reggae, house, drum and bass, pop, and disco), a
huge array of street-ready weapons, and some of the seediest characters in video
game history, Grand Theft Auto III is a sprawling epic that will show you
that sometimes crime can pay, and that sometimes it pays you back.
Grand Theft Auto 3 has you in a new adventure in the seedy underworld of Liberty
City! Avoid damage and bad weather to get away clean, or else!
