Grand Theft Auto III Wiki

I’m not the best at video games but I was still able to get through this game pretty well. The story doesn’t really throw you for a loop but it’s still entertaining to follow. The missions aren’t super hard but not too easy either. The final mission I had a hard time getting through, but rightfully so. In my opinion they’re near perfect difficulty wise, at least for someone who doesn’t play video games very much. Every once in a while it gets a bit laggy but clearing other apps and restarting the device usually fixes it right up. Once finishing the game, all the cars, boats, weapons and the fun to fly dodo plane, keep the game entertaining. I recently finished the game but have still found myself coming back to drive around or start a police chase in a tank. Amazing game, highly recommend!

This game is a classic and is totally worth the purchase. No other installment has been able to replicate the feeling of GTA 3. The soundtrack is incredible, the visuals are dark and stunning, and the voice acting is top notch with performances by Frank Vincent , Goodfellas (1990), Joe Pantoliano, The Matrix (1999), and Michael Madsen, Reservoir Dogs (1992). For a title released in 2001 that set the standard for future 3rd person gameplay, the amount of attention paid to narrative structure is just as impressive. The controls can be a bit cumbersome at times but what else can you expect on a touch device. Playing this game after swearing by San Andreas as the best pre GTA 4 installment for years, I have to say that GTA 3 will still give San Andreas a run for its money any day.

I remember the day my dad and I went to Babbages and bought a copy of Grand Theft Auto III on PS2. It was a very memorable experience. Liberty City became this perfect place for a corrupt individual to reside in. The sights and sounds filled everything with life. The mobile port is perfect for someone like me who has to share their TV with the rest of the family. It's great that Rockstar puts their classic collection on mobile phones. I've always tried to reason with people who questioned why I played GTA. And it's because I've always had a wonderful time playing this series. Rockstar puts a lot of hard work and detail in their games. I'll always remember this series and the games that came after it.

Man what I can I say about this game, brings back good memories. GTA III is the first game I had with my PS2 back in the day. Still enjoying playing it in this mobile format. Game play is good, overall it’s easy to play, control functions are okay and needs some getting used to, camera angles on some cut scenes as well as in-gameplay can be a bit off and cut off sections of the characters. I still give this game 5 stars because it’s still pretty original and not much different then what I remember playing all those years ago. If you loved the game growing up, buy this one you won’t regret it. I bought the bundle so I’ll be spending lots of time in the GTA world 😃.

I've played just about every GTA including this one, but I never would have dreamed of a GTA game actually being on my phone. This game was an essential buy because I always will love that old nostalgic feeling of replaying a GTA game and GTA 3 on my phone runs so smoothly, without a single issue. I will probably be playing this game for decades before I get bored of it. I definitely would even recommend this to someone who's looking for that nostalgic feeling from an old video game from their childhood and to new gamers looking to find the roots of GTA and how Rockstar created this controversial blockbuster called GTA 3 to start their 3D universe of Grand Theft Auto games.

I love this game but I have an iPhone X and I fill like the full screen isn’t supported and there’s a lot of the screen that isn’t used which makes for it more hard to play. I think it’s great all it needs is a full screen support for the iPhone X series with like an update. Please please please make the app full screen supported on iPhone X. If I didn’t spend money it wouldn’t be a big deal but please do that and the app is perfect in my eyes. Also make it to where you can use a controller like the San Andreas one. Thank you so much. Make the bluetooth controller button layout like San Andreas too.

I really enjoy the GTA series along with this game. This game is good, but a bit glitchy. I would guess it's because it's on mobile, but the steering I guess "sticks" where vehicles will steer to the left or right while you're not even controlling its steering. Another glitch is I went into the safehouse to save the game, but nothing happened when I went in. It went into that high camera angle aiming at the door and the door closed, but the controls and stuff were still on-screen. I closed the app and then restarted it, but I just spawned in the safehouse. I can't get out and can't do anything about it.

I love grand theft auto III just I want the graphics to be better and can you add motorcycles and bikes in the game and aiming to ally guns thanks also I want physics to take over the death pose in stead of a death pose how about when you murder someone :> they free fall same with falling in game and also can you shoot with all weapons in the car oh and can you choose who you want too shoot cuz I had 4 stars and I was in BIG trouble so I tried shooting a cop but instead it killed a citizen ☹️and also can bold go freely too and pls don’t let ncps despawn there you have it these will help meek the game a lot more realistic

The game is still good and fun but when I would the into a vehicle sometimes it would randomly steer to either the right or left by itself I couldn’t control it I had to go back and forth in controls it would flip, and also sometimes when I stole a car Claude wouldn’t get in he just throw the person out and he stay, had to tap 2-4 times, and also when I would aim a weapon like the sniper or rocket launcher I would turn around and I had to turn back and aim forward again, also lastly you can’t throw grenades right you can’t aim.

My only complaints are that once I got to the third island, my game would constantly freeze for a few seconds, and it ruined my immersion a lot. It got worse the longer you played the game. I’m currently on an iPad Air 2 running the latest iOS as of writing this review. There’s also a few texture bugs where sometimes things would turn into weird gray squares, but they're nothing game breaking. Gun controls could be better as well, but they’re enjoyable for the most part. The game gets a bit repetitive the more you play it too. But besides all that, it’s a solid and fun game. Interesting story and characters, nice soundtrack (although there’s only 4-5 songs per station), decent graphics for a mobile game, fun gameplay, and plenty of things to do besides missions. Be warned, though. The game has definitely showed it’s age. Overall a solid purchase and I’m happy. I just finished the main story and got everything I wanted to do done. Go ahead and buy it! I think it’s worth it.

So I have been playing the game for 3 hours on and off and I noticed a couple of things you can't do. You can't do drive-by shooting and you can't aim wherever you want when shooting people. It was kind of a let down even though those are minor flaws. I'd love to see a update in the future where these two things might be addressed. Other than that, the game is amazing. Oh and it'd be neat if there was a way to enter codes to access all weapons, armor and to be able to drive the tank. Update: if you could make this game full screen and fix the bugs that are making it freeze up that would be great. I noticed GTA Vice City got an update and it looks way better in full screen for iPhone XS Max

I loved this on ps2 and have finished the game probably 10 times now since it's release so I love that I can take it with me and play it anywhere. It is on a phone so it's far more difficult to do anything but that's as expected. Truly appreciate the free floating controls for steering and movement though (makes moving a dream as opposed to stuck controls that u might miss pressing on the screen which happens a lot). The only issue so far is that when I am driving with the analog controls the vehicle pulls to the right consistently, forcing tiny corrections the whole time. It effects slides and cars that are actually fast more. If you guys could fix that on Saaaaturday that'd b greeeeaaaat okay?

This game is good, but like other users have noted, once you reach the second island, the game becomes extremely laggy. The maps don’t load properly, and what gets me frustrated the most, is how the car you’re driving always pulls to the right. Aiming controls aren’t good, and it’s hard to pan the camera around corners which consistently gets me killed in some missions. Currently, I’m on the mission ‘Decoy’ with Donald Love. The objective is to divert the cops attention for about two and a half minutes in an armored truck. Around the 30 second mark on the timer, the game freezes and restarts itself. I have tried to complete the mission about ten times now and the same thing happens every time. This has kept me from progressing in the game. I’ve tried everything to remedy this and nothing has worked. What a bummer since I literally bought every GTA game on iOS. I’m playing on a new 10.5 iPad Pro. There should be no excuse for this. Please fix this!!!

Highly recommend to not buy this game unless U want to smash Ur device against the ground. Camera angles are horrible. The guy never shoots the targets right in front of him but he sure knows how to shoot a wall. Driving is horrible. The cars jump out of no where while Ur on a impossible mission just making the game even more frustrating. The map is super off. U will get lost constantly. Missions are extremely impossible especially with the horrible Controls and camera angles. You try to make the guy look around him to check for enemies around the corner but the camera keeps fighting Ur finger and wants to stay where it wants to . Theres no free aim option available. And don't destroy your bullet proof patriot before U get to that horrible mission called "fertilizer to go." Just some advice in case U decide to torture yourself with the most frustrating Gta ever created on this planet.
