GTA 3 - Thurs

And the game that marks the passage of the GTA series from 2D to 3D, with outstanding results.

It 'almost impossible for every video game he had never heard of this series was born in 1997 and has sold nearly five million copies around the world.

Like all fans of the saga already know, we wander in the game in a big city on foot or by other means, in search of new missions to be done that will give us the chance to earn money to purchase them and we slowly reveal the plot of game.

Unlike previous chapters, we could do this in environments in three dimensions, which will bring many new possibilities.

The game is set in a metropolis called Liberty City, a sort of New York version of super violent, with a high rate of crime and prostitution.

The city is in the hands of three major Mafia gangs (Mafia, Yakuza and Puerto Ricans) who divided the three main areas of Liberty City.

The beginning of the game shows us John (the protagonist), a criminal of low relief that the coup attempt of his life in a bank, but something goes wrong and he was arrested, then manage to escape.

During the attempted escape of John taking control and start the flight in the car with 8-Ball (a fellow prison.)

At first, we find ourselves a bit 'out of place before the vastness of the city, fortunately, the map is easily accessible and not difficult to find the place where you can start a new mission.

What stand out is the incredible freedom that is granted to a player, we could in fact decide to explore the city (only the first section, however, the other two are locked at the beginning) or go in search of new missions to accomplish to go forward in the plot, will be up to us to choose.

The missions have a variety of situations to be addressed, we pass from robberies to the sniper missions, drug trafficking and so on.

Graphically the title Rockstar is well built with changing weather conditions and excellent lighting effects, but it also has flaws like the sudden appearance of some buildings.

Special mention should be made to the soundtrack of the game, in fact when we are driving a car we can change the radio frequency, from song lyrics to rock songs.

The view is third person and character control are good, well arranged on the gamepad and allow good management of the character.

As for longevity, GTA III unrivaled in that it has about 73 main missions that will ensure many hours of gameplay, plus the freedom of action granted to the player, the hours may increase significantly.
