Its been about 4 years since I have played GTA3 but:
The things I disliked about GTA3 were
- Not able to swim in the water
- The shotguns the Mafia has were far too powerful and they could kill you very easily (I nearly broke the disk in half at one point due to frustration of them keep blowing you up when in a vehicle or pin you down with their shotgun fire )
- There were no Helicopters or bikes
- Army could kill you with the M16 in milliseconds
- The vehicle phisics were annoying and unrealistic (i.e - If you had a 2 star wanted level and driving a heavy vehicle such as a Barracks OL, Firetruck, Flatbed, Trashmaster etc and and a cop car rammed you head on - you would bounce off the cop car and not vice-versa unless you release the X button just before the impact )
- Peds in cars try to run you over or attack you if they are foot when you blow up a car with the rocket launcher
- Gang cars attempt to run you over when try to jack one
With all those pointed out I am sure Rockstar was trying to give the gamer a jolly hard time and make the game as frustrating as possible which is why I don't bother with this game anymore. Another I don't like is that Claude does not talk and is very strangely quiet.
