- on November 18 2013, 12:24pmPlaying GTA 3, Loving the lag Rockstar! Great job making a ps2 game run worse than gta iv
- on October 5 2013, 6:34pmnow that gta 5 is released...could you port gta vice city (and possible) gta san andreas to the vita please? i would really appriciate it if you could! please rockstar
- on January 27 2013, 5:24pmJust bought it today reliving old memories, but as I was entering a cheat the game just froze and my system turned off out of nowhere.
- on December 16 2012, 1:22pmFor best graphics on a widescreen TV, do this:
* In the in-game graphics menu select Widescreen On and Trails Off.
* Press the PS-button, and go to Other settings. Make sure Screen Mode is set to Full Screen, and Smoothing set to On.
(This also gives the best graphics for GTA San Andreas for PS3. Trails setting does not apply).
Game runs smooth, no lag, and looks beautiful. Loving it. - on November 23 2012, 8:21pmSo uhh....GTA3 isn't playable on PS3....It needs a fix. PS2 games had 60fps, ps3 only has 30fps. How did Rockstar stuff that up?!
- on November 27 2012, 4:56am@ShadowAven Hey, this is an emulated game. We should be grateful Rockstar even took the effort to release it for PS3. I hope they do the same for Vice City and San Andreas.
Turn Trails Off in the in-game menu. I found that helped a lot.
- on November 8 2012, 5:45pmi just finished bioshock2,first time,and just started dishonored. i am ready for a game in a "normal" world like in a gta game. bring on gtav open world with fast cars and motorcycles as soon as possible.
the 5 ps2 gta games with improved graphics for the ps3 would be great. ps2 owners got the worst graphics and even with hd cables i still only get 480i. - on November 7 2012, 10:43pmI've downloaded GTA3 from the UK Playstation Store, everything's fine with the game other than there is no map. The mini map is there but when I press start it's the only tab missing from the menu. Will I need to re download it or something because it makes the game pretty hard when you can't find ammunation.
- on November 27 2012, 4:40am@SJDisko There isn't supposed to be a map.
- on October 11 2012, 11:17pmOh, how I wish this was in HD and had trophies. i would be pay again for it
just like that

- on October 8 2012, 4:37pm@Daniel_0393 HD remake? I don't need it, I think GTA SA and GTA VC should vome in the original version too at the psn.
They must programming GTA 5 ready, thatg we can buy it, that is the importantest.
- on October 10 2012, 12:36pm@Stormbreaker771 As recently said in the previous Asked and Answered Article, there are no plans to bring GTA III or GTA: Vice City to the Xbox Live Marketplace, due to compatibility issues.
- on October 7 2012, 1:32pmwhy does luigi assume im going to even consider touching misty she sounds like a rusty bear trap and probably has teeth as sharp as one too lol
- on October 7 2012, 12:22pmJust finished the story for the first time ever! I really loved GTA III, And, yes, I'll admit it, I started to well up during the final cutscene =) I love GTA, bring on GTA V! I hope it's longer than 100 mission =)

Rockstar Games for Life, Grand Theft Auto Forever! - on October 7 2012, 10:32amSome offtopic, R* you said: More info about GTA Five, please wait ("few weeks"). Few weeks ? FEW (1 - 10 weeks) so today it's about 7 - 8 week :D J think you not lie us.
- on October 7 2012, 3:22amFor some reason while driving shooting isn't working when I press circle, so I changed the controller setting and R1 doesn't work either. What should I do?
- on November 27 2012, 4:44am@BitterMarston You can only drive-by with the Uzi. Press R2 + Circle or L2 + Circle and your character will shoot the Uzi out either side of the car.
