Grand Theft Auto 3

Has anyone here played this game yet? It freakin rockz!!! 100 times better than the first two. I've been playing through the missions, but there is enough interesting things to do around town to keep you busy.

Here's a sweet shot of me going for an insane stunt bonus in my beat-up (stolen) cop car:

There's a ramp at the other end of this row of trailers - and a long straightaway in front of that.

I made it (believe it or not) and got $5000 in cool cash for risking my life.

Ive been playing it on Playstation 2 since it was released some months ago, and the PC version gets released down here tomorrow, which I will also be purchasing.

I love the game to bits, it never fails to amuse me.

I can't wait to get it, for thoose who have it a and it and are having problems you need to download a patch from MS

I've already beaten the game on PS2. Absolutly best game I've ever owned. I won't buy the computer version as they havn't added anything new (to the best of my knowlege). But if you don't already own it, and your computer will support, definatly get the computer version. The graphics look even better.

Got to test run this game on a customer's computer. Now I wish I had the money to purchase it.

i am still learning game and dont have map or instructions for any assistance....

and is there any cool things i should know about the game....

Okay, I will add it to my "must have" list.

Is anyone in here using a steering wheel? If so, which one would you recomend?

**MacGyver** · June 3rd, 2002, 02:02 PM

As far as racing wheels go, I'd recommend <a href="http://www.epinions.com/cmhd-PCGameDevices-All-Interact_UltraRacerPC" target="_blank">The Interact Ultra Racer PC</a>. It's basically a handheld controller with a rubber knob on top you use to steer, and a trigger underneath you can use to accelerate or brake. Plus four buttons on top. It's good if you don't want to sink a lot of money into a full-blown wheel and pedals. Only thing is, I don't know if they make it anymore.

I'm saving mine for the upcoming release of Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2... {drools}

<hr /></blockquote>Looks interesting. Do you know if they ever made a model for the PC?

Edit: Okay, the title says Ultra Racer PC but the picture shows N64

To talk to the hookers, you must be in a car.

Drive your car up next to one of the 'ladys of the night', and stop next to them. They will come over and talk to you. You can then drive off to a secluded spot, and ..uh... have them recover your hit points, in exchange for cash.

And yeah, I am thinking about buying it, but without a multiplayer option, I might not. I hear that the next GTA game is going to focus heavily on the multiplayer aspect, which should be great.

thanks man...i think i figured out that everytime i tried to do that exact same thing i was never low on hit points....i was 100 so they dont come talk to you....

**Raven** · June 6th, 2002, 01:02 PM

Oh Yeah.....BTW - you must be in a descent car too...you cant be in an old car or truck...they only come over to you if you are in a nice car or hummer....

**Can't Catch Me** · June 6th, 2002, 01:05 PM

Please don't hit me...I don't want to end up road kill!!!

**Tazdrummer** · June 6th, 2002, 01:46 PM

I love this game! I just got it working yesterday (its problems with XP... simple patch from M$...) and this game rocks!

I suck at driving games myself and this one I cant get away from. LOL
