The third installment to hit the playstation 2, from their multi million selling predecessors GTA: III and its follow up GTA: Vice City, this installment had alot to live up to.

With the incredible growth rate in game production today it is not a surprising fact to see such a diverse quantity of content in games such as GTA. From its first release, it gave a completely original concept to game play, controlling a character in a whole system of different scenarios, the game required you to learn more than just one skill in order to achieve its full potential. From initially controlling the character in a third person perspective, to then learning the elements of shooting, fighting, driving in a number of different vehicles, from a bicycle to a aeroplane.

As well as all these number of scenarios the game also included a variety of mini games, which i personally spent quite some time playing, as well as customizing your characters appearances, just to add a personal aspect to your free roaming. This expanded across a diverse variety of features such as, clothes, hair, jewellery, tattoos and even body mass. If you didnt give your character the proper amount of excersice, abesity was just around the corner.















Though with the huge expectations of this game, rockstar did indeed produce a game that lived up to this hype, and have only expanded on their lucrative original sub genres creating a more all round playable and fun atmosphere to this masterpiece of a game.
