I'm looking forward to the next one, which covers San Andreas. To this day my favourite GTA game.

That a guy from Eastenders once played Claude Speed is so weird to me.

Watching GTA3s videos always brings some sense of nostalgia... My first days on this forum (technically not this but you get the point) I remember it was a Saturday and me, my brother and two of my friends spent the whole day running rampage across liberty city.

So cool, I feel old now though :)

The top down GTA's :wub:

I remember there was a fella who hung about with us, I can't for the life of me remember his name :fp: , but he used to keep a list of all the cars he got in the game like some sort of mental person.

I remember having to wait for the PC versions, was tempted to get a PS2 at the time, but the wait was worth it, such a better game with a mouse and keyboard, I find it hard to play the 3, vice and SA on a pad.

Yep, didn't realise this until I saw the video clip. GTA3 is and always will be my favourite GTA for it's time. The music and atmosphere were splendid, as was the map design and the characters, were the best ever created, perhaps matched in Vice City.

I may repurchase this on PSN and currently have no motivation playing it on the iPhone with those awful controls.

GTA3 was incredible at the time. I can't go back to it now, though. Same with Vice City. San Andreas spoiled me.

I love the crazy Northern Irish hobo women in GTA3.

Its weird hearing that accent in a huge game, like GTA3.

I preferred Vice City to San Andreas, I felt the game was way to big.

No there isn't. Christ, do you people go outside and get intimidated by how big it is?

No. But having a smaller city, full of life and things to do is a lot better than having a massive city filled with geometry and nothing else.

Small cities are boring. strawberry float all to do when you can traverse the entire landmass in less than a minute.

Good thing San Andreas was full of stuff to do, then. Vice City had next to nothing outside of missions.
