A must play for everyone that can handle it. GTA III is the perfect game!
When you played GTA III when it was new you couldn't find any flaws. You can find things that you want to see in the game now after San Andreas and Vice City but you didn't thought of these things when you played GTA III. This game was an instant classic and is now at the same place as Super Mario Bros and other classic games that everybody loves.
Liberty City is fantastic, it's the worst place in America but you still love it to death. You get so hooked on just driving around the city that you'll eventually know every bit of the city extremely well. I suggest when you have played GTA III to the max and won it to buy GTA Liberty City Stories just to re-enter Liberty City and drive through it again (it's a bit different but not that much).
The graphics in the game is the same as in every GTA game nowadays. It was fantastic back in 2001 and for me, it's still great, but I don't think too much about the graphics. I want the game to have good storyline and a great gameplay.
The storyline in GTA III is awesome and for my sake, the best story in all GTA games. This game is just fantastic and a must have for every gamer. Even though you just liked the DOS games then you should own this game. This game is going to be remembered for years to come.
Rockstar games, you are now a legend!
