In the puzzle game Lemmings series title that has been developed from Scotland of MA Design, which is known in the development of, the first of his primary, which was released to the PC / PS for the 1997 GTA is top-down in was a crime action game that is deployed (in the early stage of development, the player had been planned as a Race n Chase hunt down the criminals become a police officer).

The attitude of founder GTA is seeking a strong degree of freedom as 97 years at that time, at that time David Jones said was the co-founder of MA Design is, and has come from the fact that prefer a free game than linear game 1997 He says at the time of the interview. The PC / PS version of the sequel to 1999, two years after Grand Theft Auto 2 has been released, it has appeared Dream cast / Game Boy version of the following year.

Although whether the development of the GTA III was started from the time not to clear at the moment, according to the interview with Leslie Menzies who is the GTA III director that took place in early October 2001, developers although the taste different from each other, the title affected than other games Microsoft racing game Midtown Madness and, you have a variety of FPS and the like, which was led by Quake of id Software. In addition, in the development and design stage of, yes there was also continued to watch a member of the team a crime film, such as Bullet and Scarface at a pace of once a week.

For the technical field to other, in order to correspond to 32 MB a memory capacity of PS2, without time-consuming automatic generation processing, employing streaming technology. Streaming technology, which was going to use only the geometry of the original music and maps, pedestrian and textures As the effect is obvious, it has been told that it has added the cars.

In an interview about the PC version released in 2002, Dan House said is back with the music of GTA III, raised the game music to a new level, about the same as the film music from the magnitude of the echo in the PS2 version also added to have influence. Besides, although the look back to be a very innovative about the single player experience, it says that did not also record in the PC version from the fact that it is not possible to achieve the same kind of progress in relation to multiplayer.

Also affected by the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, the release that had been scheduled for October 2, postponed for various reasons, finally it has been released on October 22 in North America increase. This change to the content is added to the time, and one of the missions associated with terrorists, conversations and radio talk pedestrian is deleted, also change the package design and a police car design. However, the affected are the answer to be about 1% of the total at the 10th anniversary of the Q & A.

On the other hand in Japan, but overseas PS2 version of GTA III at the time of the December 18, 2001, was sold imported, the GTA III is now in earnest attention in March 2002 from the PC version of the announcement. So far the PC version is also released considerable attention in There is also a country that has been localized from the Zoo, GTA III was the domestic market is in the form of Japanese manual with English version, Release Date, 2002 in North America from May 21 was about 1 month June 28, days after. Japanese official site of GTA III by this time crafted Zoo is possible viewing today.

Japanese version of the launch of the implementation by Cap com and Take-Two has a partnership in June 2003. Together before GTA III sale will be held the over-the-counter experience event for the more than 18 years of age, it is about to put the forces that open the bar in which the GTA III the theme for a limited time at Shibuya. From that other also is a radical content as at that time, for it to be released on September 25, 2003 PS2 nihongobanga, was accepted with surprise in some game shop.

It should be noted that the franchise at the stage before GTA III has appeared has achieved 450 million units of sales, is not a totally anonymous in Europe and in the United States. GTA III while also taken up as a problem work in the United States and Europe area, including such as the United States not only in Japan, we have achieved about 1450 million units of sales.

Story of dry hero continues betrayed GTA III

Story of GTA III also hero was one of armed robbery (there is no name at the time) is caught by the police betrayed by colleagues to be led by Catalina, plays an escape by convoy vehicle was attacked, those that field of activity by undertake a variety of work based in the hideout of Portland spreads.

When attention is paid to the story, the main character from Luigi and Tony Salvatore family in Portland, repeatedly, such as assassination and sabotage against the other gang, confidence is rising inside the Salvatore family. However, although the request is the main Salvatore is attempted assassination from distrust of the hero, it elicits a conspiracy from Maria of her mistress to escape with the help Asoka hand is her friend to Stoughton island.

Then either Asoka assassination and to a previous request Lord is Salvatore through the hands of, such as the hostile work of the gang each other by businessman Donald Love is extinguished the leader of each force is deployed, ringleader leaves the land of Liberty City we will completely change by (Kenji and Asoka also killed, considering that leave even Donald Love and Ray, only not remain part of the sponsor who is in the final Portland).

Including to achieve a revenge to the final in Catalina who betrayed the hero, the story of at least GTA III from many of these events is having emerged that revenge and betrayal is the driving force to move the story. This theme of revenge and betrayal after a series of work Vice City and San Andreas, and you will notice also that are drawn by changing the form in, such as GTA IV.

Cold impression with a thin, et al. And dry in the GTA III is the part that seems also to have appeared by the hero is not the in any intention display as reticent mercenaries and killers in addition to that you do not talk at all.

violence, freedom, open world shown music... in the GTA III

Game play, limited as long as the clear first mission which also serves as a tutorial even without it is possible to move freely, we should be able to complete the mission in a Favorite later timing. Anything in between from the mission of the mission without restrictions, and to re-procure such as consumption and gone ammunition and lost vehicles, to explore the city, is also possible, such as increasing the number of weapons collected a hidden element.

The GTA III is a feature, and that a certain number of appearances in residents how the sidewalk of the city, where you walk around the all over the island in the absence of a nearly loaded by the seamless map configuration (However, from island to island have read in the movement).

Of this work is characterized seamlessly with not only the vast island, is the height of interactivity with the passers-by. The firefight is Himarë where there are passers-by, and fled up the fighting or cry, onlookers is dense if the car explosion. The other also, and that passers-by to resuscitate the passers-by arrival of ambulance if to sacrifice in the accident, also exist reaction to residents, such as fire engines if the burning car comes doing to extinguish. If seen only reaction of passers-by, none has been the exaggerated movements, it will be visible to somehow comedy tick.

MA of Leslie Menzies said about the violence of the GTA III is a prelude to and at the end of the interview in February 2001, violence resistance is suppressed much by the comedy, this film is a pure fantasy in city and while, is a work that this work has focused on crime rather than indiscriminate violence, does not mean it never obtained something even violent to passers-by, giving a sufficient degree of freedom without it, I mentioned that can not be.

The contents of the mission is on the one hand tie is also small is simple, and can be repeated a rear-end collision by using a heavy, heavy-duty truck if the mission to attack a particular vehicle, use the mission if high antiballistic vehicle assuming a betrayal you can also use a variety of means such as cheats. Car racing and boat action not only shootout by mission type, car stunts, this work because it is a variety of genres, such as helping others due to ambulance and fire trucks have led to seamless, that none vehicle has become a subject It seems that embodies the features of the.

Besides, it also packed with charm of this work in the place where the car radio in the game that does not inferior to the reality of the radio if Noisome the car is flowing. Who is as the direction of the recording music also is not necessarily hit song is on to know, but as the thing insufficient made if in the second half of the game for fewer songs stands out, hip-hop from classical music, and the movie Scarface It was the variety genre, including that there is also a radio song that flows play in a song of.

Although there was no camera to move freely in the PS2 version, it is possible to freely aim by a corresponding to the mouse + keyboard operation in the PC version of the late, while riding in the car corresponds to the MP3 is taken in by such as a CD song It was one of the features is also possible that the flown to car stereo basis.

-delimited called GTA III 20 anniversary to re calmly staring at the

GTA III is and that there is no forced into action in the interval of the mission, such as to enjoy seamless and boarded a huge map in the car or boat drive, including that this work has achieved the unprecedented huge hit, PS2 now also in freedom game of the monument that expresses in the generation of the game.

Also, if you look as numbering, GTA III mission start leading to the primary and also while followed the hero does not speak, including the II, after the Vice City and later in the series operation of the San Andreas since it was incorporated and before the cinematic cut scenes, you will notice that is a new element and works of flavor is mixed transition period of past work. This balance, it seems also to be one that can be precisely because of the stage before obtaining an evaluation recorded a worldwide hit.

Also, can not be avoided in terms of look back on the GTA III is the topic of bashing for the game. Zero age was released the GTA III is adversely affected by the game which lasts from 1990s was the era, which has been a concern strongly from the public.

This was also seen with a strong interest in Japan, and in Japan, and in 2002, Game brain fear was also shaped. Among them, as a major event of GTA III connection, it is said that the same measures were taken in Santana Prefecture and Osaka Prefecture, at the beginning of the designation of harmful books by Kannada Prefecture in 2005. You have also been pointed out for later discussion of deliberation to this.

Since 2021, there is no excessive controversy, such as giving up with GTA III until now. Even though one of many studies is one of the many studies, the result of the GTA series, etc., the result that the adverse effects on highly violence games is not as a result of 20 years of age.

GTA III was sold to the Xbox version and PC version in addition to PS2, but for iOS / Android released in 2011, Grand Left Auto III: 10th Anniversary Edition is Japan Version Although there are fine regulations that can not be chased in, but not only the resolution and frame rate improvement, but also the original version is upgraded, as well as the realization of retry functions and death / arrest penalty. It is adjusted to play.

On November 11, Grand Gift Auto: Trilogy: Detectioned Edition is PC / Currently As it was released for the purpose of the essence of the first, it is easy to play.

For those who know the enthusiasm of the time GTA III is an older work that has passed since 20 years, it is not easy, but it is a full-fledged movement from GTA III such as open world and freedom While remembering 20 years, how about playing?
