In GTA III, you play as a gangster ready to get back to work and take on the various contracts offered to you. Assassination, kidnapping, drug trafficking, vehicle theft and many other missions as illegal as they are violent make up the essence of this rather original game.
Each successful operation earns you money that you can then use to buy new weapons and more easily get revenge on the traitors who turned you in to the police. But you will also have to face rival gangs, hitmen and the police who are after you and will give you no respite.
You will have to complete nearly a hundred perilous missions, in vehicles in hellish car chases but also on foot where you will have complete freedom of action.
Hitting someone, shooting them, stealing a car, etc.: anything goes to fulfill your various contracts! The big novelty is that the action is now presented in true 3D for total immersion and no longer in a top-down view as it was before. The playground is immense as it is an entire city, with its different districts, its traffic and its bustling population.
