Back to Where It All Began

GTA 3 is the third installment in the GTA series, and in this game, your well-loved and love-to-hate characters are back to where it all began: Liberty City. Only this time, the sprawling crime city has more danger and bloodshed than ever before. It follows the story of Claude, a bank robber betrayed by his girlfriend and accomplices. In a botched robbery, Claude was arrested and sentenced to ten years in prison. But while being transported, he and a fellow prisoner are inadvertently freed. In his quest for vengeance, Claude got entangled in a world of gangs, crime, and corruption

During the game, Claude will meet various new characters from the gangs. Players must control him as he roams the game map and completes missions. Completion of these activities will grant players context-specific rewards, including allowing you to bribe police after committing a crime. 

GTA 3 is an action-adventure game played from a third-person perspective. Players can run, jump, or use vehicles to navigate the game’s world. As for combat, players can use auto-aim to fight enemies. They can also use body armor to absorb gunshots and explosive damage. If they take damage, they can use health pick-ups to completely restore their health meter. GTA 3 gives the player a wide arsenal of weapons, which they can purchase from the local firearm dealer or pick up from the ground and loot from dead enemies. 

The Open-World in Your Small Screen

The GTA 3 mobile version will bring everything you love about the game, including the stellar voice acting, the darkly comic storyline, the stunning soundtrack, and, of course, the revolutionary open-world gameplay. The app ensures that mobile players can enjoy all of these in HD quality resolution

Rockstar Game optimized the gameplay for mobile devices. It features new video display settings that allow players to tailor their visual experience. The controls are also customized for touchscreens. More of GTA 3 is integrated with Immersion Haptic Vibration Feedback, featuring gamepad support for select USB controllers. 

However, before you enjoy hours of gameplay, note that you need at least 1GB of free space before installing the game on your phone. Rebooting your device after installing the game is also recommended. Furthermore, to ensure optimal performance, players must ensure no other apps run in the background when playing. 

Still Needs Work

GTA 3 game is a faithful mobile port of a classic title. It brings back everything you loved about the game. You can surely have a huge bout of nostalgia. However, like most mobile games, aiming can be a bit wacky. The game console needs some time to get used to, and the game tends to slow down. Of course, you might also experience stuttering and other streaming issues.
