A mafia masterpiece that will keep you busy for a long time.

User Rating: 9.6 | Grand Theft Auto III PS2
This game is a real step up from Rockstar's last GTA game. First off now it is in 3D and while the graphics aren't spectacular, they get the job done without ruining the experience. The guns and cars have really good physics and the reactions of the people are also well done. There is a lot of variety in the missions as well as very good and interesting side missions if you get bored of the mainstream missions. You play as an unnamed tough guy straight from the joint. You begin to take on missions that deal with the mafia and as the game progresses you take out your enemies as well as your bosses as you make your way to the top in true gangster style after the Godfather series and the Scarface movie (I can't wait for these games to come out after seeing what can be done with this genra). Overall this game feels great and has a good enough storyline to keep you hooked for a long time.
