- The One That Signaturised the Sandbox Genre!Grand Theft Auto III or GTA3 as we commonly call it is simply out, a masterpiece, being the third chapter in the GTA series, but GTA and GTA2 were just little 2D driving games on the PS1 back in the late '90s, but we must agree they sucked for a PS1 game, that time Driver and Driver 2 were kings of its kind back then, and I could play Driver 2 for hours.
But Driver 2 was about to get a slap in the face by GTA, Rockstar games and DMA Design(now called R* North) deicided that for next-gen(at the time) PS2 they would release a 3D GTA, being proclaimed by Gamespot as the game "Driver 2 was meant to be" this was none other than GTA3.Today Driver has been trying to get back its place, but DRIV3R sucked donkeys and Driver:Parellel Lines even though it was great, it still had that GTA wannabe feel, but R* has GTA IV planned for PS3 and XBox 360, while Ubisoft has bought the Driver franchise off Atari and is developing Driver 5 for PC/360/PS3, has the Driver series driven to the right ally, or will its dark generation come back to haunt them(which is last-gen, PS2 and XBox)?
GTA3 is about a thug who was hitting Liberty City Bank with his girlfriend, but as they run for an alarm, she betrays him and shoots him, but the shot may have missed and put him into a state of shock, he was captured by the Police who have him under Maximum security by having the SWATs drive him and two other criminals to jail after sentencing, he was given 10 years.But the SWAT van gets ambushed by Colombian drug dealers, who hold up the van and rescue and old man prisoner, this gives him and another man to escape.However a bomb goes off and destroys the Callahan Bridge and luckily him and the other guy survive.
The other guy is a career thug called 8-BALL who has got your guy to drive him to a friend of his, while in return work so he can earn money.The game kicks off from there
The guy you play hasn't got a name, nor can he actually speak or even react properly, so he hasn't really any form of identification other than all the crime boss's lap dog, being loyal to whomever has signed him up for service, regardless of who they are.
However in GTA:San Andreas, his girlfriends name is Catelina and his name is Claude, I know thats him in San Andreas because he doesn't talk and he has the exact same clothing and same attitude as he does in GTA3.The GTA don't do cameos off other GTA characters, it contributes to the story.
