Unlike the first two, I actually bothered to finish this one. This is also my first time beating a GTA 100%. This was also my first GTA.
GTA III is a good game but it suffers from being the first 3D entry in the series, with it's biggest shortcomings being the lack of a map screen and a lack of camera controls. This next issue mostly affects during rampages but the sniper rifle aiming controls like shit on PS2, the worst example of this is in the Columbian headshot rampage.
As I said, it's a good game, the story and actual missions are quite fun, but unfortunately it's just dragged down by those other stuff, and whenever I'm in the mood for some classic GTA, I'll usually play either Vice City or San Andreas. However, I will always respect it for being an extremely important game because the open world genre today owes itself to this one.
