I borrowed GTA3 when it was new. I rented it about 3 months ago. I finally broke down and traded for it last week. I guess the third time truly is the charm, because I am absolutely loving this game. It has been a long time since a game has given me so many choices of things to do that are all enjoyable. There are the countless missions, the search for the packages, the insane stunts, and the random mayhem of trying to achieve wanted level 6. I can't figure out why I wasn't sucked in the first two times. I think it may have been that I was having fun pissing the cops off but wasn't doing anything else. Once that got old, I thought the game did too. No such trouble this time. I am on the second island after 12-15 hours of gameplay, and I can't wait for the third. Thank you to everyone who kepy touting this game's praises. Without you, I would have written it off as mainstream media idiocy.
