Sorry, but a game that is this darned difficult should offer saving at all times. And saving can only take place at designated locations, which you'll only get more of when you get further in the game. No swimming, no getting out of the car in the nick of time to get the less than two meters back onto the shore. If you hit water, you still drown(if you are far enough out, of course), no matter what water it is. The game is pretty good, but has much too few features compared to how far it has gotten(time-wise as well as compared to the technological achievements within the field of video games) since the release of the first Grand Theft Auto(which is basically the only game in the series that I have played). I have the PC version of the game, so if something I say is a good feature and you don't have it on your console version of the game, yep, once again, you already know the reason. Great cast, superb design, wonderful story (if one can call it that), and you've got a game that's about as fulfilling as the best chocolate you've ever eaten: you want to put it down, but why carp?įirst of all, I haven't really tried playing Grand Theft Auto III, so if anything I say is good or new in this review is also in GTA III, you know why. Or, if you're not in the mood for a run, let your own personal psychological 'Id' go insane: one of the pleasures of the game is that it's exciting in a social setting, with a bunch of friends taking turns while pummeling the crap out of their cars, killing as many civilians (or cops) as possible before the star rating goes sky high, and just doing nonsense like gunning down gangs in malls and listening to corny 80s pop and new-wave. You run missions as the Ray Liotta character, you move on up in the gangster world, and it gets more fun (and more challenging) the further you go along. It's the ultimate in fun, wild run-amock games, while also being fantastic as an RPG. I usually don't comment on many video games on this site, but even after the fact of it being six years since this game has been in existence (and since then other GTA games, most notably recently GTA 4 for the new consoles, have come to fruition) I must make this about as high as a recommendation as I possibly can.
