review of Grand Theft Auto 3

Edinbrugh based developer Rockstar North is having a second assault on the blog! This time I review the best selling game on the most successful, longest surviving games  system in the history of gaming- the PS2, so can this game conquer the retro section of the blog or will Rollcage Redux  be left standing? let find out!


okay.... where to start ?
GTA 3 was  the first Grand Theft Auto  to make the jump between 2D, such such as its  previous entry in the series GTA 2 released for various platforms, such as the ill-fated Sega Dreamcast to fully  rendered 3D. you play as Claude, who is thrown into Liberty City's criminal underworld.

Visibility 10
colour blind gamers can easily play this game.  All objectives during  missions is indicated by markers, arrows and blue areas. So yo can easily distinguish where to go  and unlike GTA4 the enemy markers are in a darker shade of red and objective areas are in pink so it's so easily playable  for visually  impaired gamers.

Audibility 10

this game has full subtitles so  hearing impaired gamers can play this game no problems at all! but no subtitles on the radio stations, but it only adds humour into the game. So marking this game down would be downright cruel, considering the game's age, hell its 2001 were talking about here!

Mobility 10
this game has basic controls, which has several layouts, which can be changed via the options menu. But customizable control layouts would(you can in the PC version) would be great in the console version. But , once again its  a retro game.

Gameplay 10

Wow... this game was a work of art! i  remember playing this while I was in hospital. The game has plenty of Easter eggs, one of which caused the game to get banned in  Australia( you know which one i'm referring to, Fraser!) but did you know that the game had to be changed during development? if you don't know why- the attack on the World Trade Center happened during the game's development so the structure itself had to be censored on the game's cover and a mission had to be cut out too but in summary...it seems like the game was the PS2's best seller for a valid reason !

OVERALL SCORE 100%


Sorry Robert Rollcage Redux just met it's match!
