It’s hard to believe that it’s been 10 years since Grand Theft Auto III was released. I personally remember reading about it leading up to it’s release, and then when I played it — my mind was blown. It was the first time I experienced a sandbox game with the depth, and content that GTA III had to offer. For the series as a whole, it only got better from this game.
However, this was the game that truly brought the Grand Theft Auto to the realm of 3-D gaming, and it did so perfectly. Not many games can say they’ve done that. With at the time, great voice acting, a fantastic storyline, a revolutionary open-world gameplay, Grand Theft Auto III was a step in the right direction for the series, and sandbox gaming.
Happy 10 year anniversary Grand Theft Auto III!
