GTA 3 (PC) Grand Theft Auto III Information
Grand Theft Auto III is a 2001 open world action-adventure computer and video game developed by DMA Design (now Rockstar North) in the United Kingdom, and published by Rockstar Games. It is the first 3D title in the Grand Theft Auto series. It was released in October 2001 for the PlayStation 2, May 2002 for Microsoft Windows, in November 2003 for the Xbox and in November 2010 for Mac OS X. It was made available on Steam on January 4, 2008 and on the Mac App Store on August 18, 2011. The game was released for iOS and Android mobile devices on December 15, 2011. The game was released for the PlayStation 3 in September 2012. The game is preceded by Grand Theft Auto 2 and succeeded by Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
GTA III is set in modern Liberty City, a fictional metropolitan city based on New York City. The game follows the story of a criminal named Claude[a] who was betrayed by his girlfriend in a bank heist and is required to work his way up the crime ladder of the city before confronting her. GTA lll is composed of elements from driving games and third-person shooters.
The games concept and gameplay, coupled with the use of a 3D game engine for the first time in the series, contributed to Grand Theft Auto IIIs positive reception upon its release; it became 2001s top-selling video game and is cited as a landmark in video games for its far-reaching influence within the industry. GTA IIIs success was a significant factor in the series subsequent popularity; as of 2008, five GTA prequels set before events in GTA III have been released, particularly Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories which revisits GTA IIIs setting just three years prior. GTA IIIs violent and sexual content has also been the source of public concern and controversy. According to Metacritic, GTA III and Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3 both hold an average critic score of 97 out of 100, making them the highest-rated PlayStation 2 games of all time.
Story
Claude Speed is a small-time thief working with his girlfriend and accomplice, Catalina. They have been robbing small banks, betting shops and drugstores around the Southwestern U.S. After nine years of this drifting, they arrive to Liberty City, hoping to make it big. On a rainy day in October 2001, they rob a Liberty City bank with an accomplice and a getaway driver called Miguel. They charge in, take the money, and leave through the back. They run, but Catalina shoots the accomplice. Claude witnesses this, but she shoots him as well, leaving him in the alley behind the Bank of Liberty as she escapes with Miguel. Claude manages to survive the wound, but he is arrested, found guilty, and sentenced to 10 years to jail.
The game then starts with the police convoy, transferring prisoners (including Claude) to the Liberty City prison. While they are crossing the Callahan Bridge, a terrorist group ambushes the convoy, but they accidentally drop a bomb on the bridge, which goes unnoticed. They subdue the guards and take out the prisoners. Claude notices the bomb just as it explodes, destroying a part of the bridge and killing everyone except Claude and a fellow prisoner. The fellow prisoner introduces himself as 8-Ball and takes him to a small apartment to change out of his prison jumpsuit.
8-Ball introduces Claude to Luigi Goterelli, owner of the Sex Club 7 and also the made-man of the Leone family. Claude is later introduced to Joey Leone, the son of Don Salvatore Leone, head of the Leone family. Claude starts working for the high ranking Toni Cipriani, Salvatores Capo who helped defeat the Sicilian Mafia years before. During the work, Claude finds himself opposed of the Cartel, who are the dealers of a new designer drug, called SPANK.
Once he is respected enough, Claude finally meets Salvatore at a conference. Salvatore takes a liking to Claude and has him work directly against the Cartel. During this Claude realizes Catalina, now affiliated with the Cartel, is in charge of SPANK dealings. In the process, Maria, Salvatores young and strained wife, begins to take a liking to Claude. Salvatore grows suspicious and leads him to a death trap via car bomb; but Maria saves him, remaining close to him throughout the story line.
He later goes to work for others, including the Liberty City Yakuza leader Asuka Kasen, Marias close friend (and a lover) who gets Claude to kill Salvatore, cutting off all Claudes (and the Yakuzas) ties to the Mafia. Claudes work leads him to allying himself with other criminal sources outside of the Mafia, such as Ray Machowski, who is allied with the Yakuza and, like Claude, is an enemy of the Cartel, Claude later saves Machowski from Internal Affairs, who seem to drop their investigation on him.
Claude also meets the charismatic media mogul Donald Love, who is responsible for causing media fronts to block the conspiracy of his past cannibalism and necrophilia. In an effort to start a war between the Yakuza and Cartel, Claude and Love organize the death of Asukas brother Kenji Kasen and frame the Cartel. While on an errand, Claude finally confronts Catalina face to face, but she eludes death and leaves her second-in-command Miguel to his fate. Miguel is confronted by Asuka, who abducts him believing him to have knowledge of her brothers death. Miguel begs Claude to save him but Claude, remembering his role in the betrayal, leaves him. Shortly after this Love disappears under unknown circumstances.
On the side, Claude works for smaller street gangs, like the Diablos, Southside Hoods, the Yardies and serial killer Marty Chonks. The Yardies leader, King Courtney, is responsible for Claudes falling out with the Diablos and betrays Claude himself after allying himself with the Cartel. This leaves the Southside Hoods to be one of the few allies Claude has.
With the war with the Cartel intensifying, Asuka and Maria learn of Claudes history with Catalina and get him to fight many Cartel operations head on. Eventually, his exploits attract the attention of Catalina. This results in Marias abduction by the Cartel and holding a ransom for her. This gives Claude the opportunity to face Catalina once more.
When Claude makes it to the Cartels mansion, he confronts Catalina who attempts to have Claude killed on the spot. Claude overpowers his would-be executioners and fights his way to the Citys Dam. In the resulting final firefight, Catalina attempts to flee in a helicopter and makes a final attempt on Claudes life. Claude finds a discarded rocket launcher and proceeds to shoot down Catalina. As the game ends, Claude and Maria leave, and Maria starts talking to Claude. He takes out the gun, and a gunshot is heard.
