When a job is started, other activities are temporarily unavailable. When a player commits criminal acts, he earns wanted stars. There are five of them in Grand Theft Auto 3. They differ in the degree of intensity of the search for the protagonist.
In case of a minor violation, an ordinary patrol will hunt for Claude, in case of more serious violations, a police helicopter and a special forces detachment will appear, and if you reach the maximum level of crime, then a special forces outfit, special agents and even a tank will be sent for the hero! To hide from the chase, you need to collect the corresponding icons on the map or repaint the car in a different color.
Good luck Walkthrough. The protagonist of the game is Claude, a small-time criminal with grand ambitions. At the beginning of the game, Claude has been in a relationship with female criminal Catalina for nearly a decade, and the two of them take part in a bank robbery at Liberty City which is a fictionalized version of New York City.
Despite persistent rumours, Rockstar told us it never had any intention of tacking a multiplayer option onto what it sees as a quintessentially single-player experience. If you've played the game you can see sense in that. The naysayers might have been appeased with the ability to race around the city but most of us got bored of Midtown Madness a couple of years back.
Look forward to it in the next version, but for now don't let it put you off one of the best gaming experiences of all time. And I don't use words like that lightly. I've been on ZONE for three long years now and thanks to a combination of bad luck, lack of time and a reviews editor who refuses to give me anything that might be half-decent to review, I've never given 90 per cent to a game before. For me it's a flawed masterpiece that manages to do almost everything right.
Let me explain further. One of the big debates over the past couple of years has been about freedom. Some see the future of PC games lying in freedom of choice, where the developers create a world and a loose sketch of a game to cover the joins. Others think that linearity is the only way to sustain an involving dialogue. From the very first kick of the game you can pretty much do what you want, where you want, with whom you want. If you want to 'progress' through the game you can pick up a mission at any time, but the first thing you'll want to do is explore, take stock of your surroundings and indulge in a spot of the old ultra-violence.
It would be ludicrous of me to suggest that GTA III provides you with a fully working city, where you can enter any building and interact with any character. What the developers have done instead is create the illusion that the whole city is open to you. You can car-jack pretty much any vehicle you can see and tear around creating as much havoc as you want, as long as the filth doesn't catch you in the act. When this happens you're given a 'wanted' rating, signified by a set of stars.
One star puts you in the Mark Morrison category whereby the police might give chase for a bit before deciding to stop for a hot dog; five stars means that the whole of the LCPD is after you, along with helicopters, road blocks and snipers. It's a game in itself attempting to reach this sort of gangster status, before losing your wanted tag by either driving over the strategically placed stars dotted around the town, which reduce your criminal rating, or by taking your car in for a respray.
If you're interested I suggest smashing a few bystanders round the face with your baseball bat, waiting for the paramedics to turn up before turning your rage on them, nicking their ambulance and ramming the nearest police car. Alternatively, you can just cruise the streets, taking in the sights, before trying for bonus points by launching yourself off the various ramps, bridges and flyovers, and somersaulting your way to a - hopefully - safe landing.
Smash the car up too badly mind and you'll have to get yourself out quickly before the flames take hold and it explodes. The fact that everyone who plays GTA 3 does it in a different way is testament to the fact that the game works on every level, and it's this quality, not the stunning graphics engine, that's had almost every PS2 reviewer in raptures.
We might be the first to review it on the PC but we're not about to buck that trend, not even with our reputation. But you might recall. I did mention the word flawed. Because, despite the fact that it's one of the best games I've ever played, there are holes to be picked if you're the picky sort. Most of the blemishes are nothing more than gameplay mechanics like the time I had every police car in the city after me but lost the lot by driving into a garage despite the fact that one of them followed me in but when, on the odd occasion, your attention wanders, you realise that whispers there's not actually a great deal of complexity to the game.
The missions that lead you through the story and open up the new areas, while hugely enjoyable, are relatively simple affairs: 'Take this car here', 'shoot that person in the head', 'blow that person's car up', that sort of thing.
It generally involves getting from A to B in a set amount of time, and occasionally getting out of your car to shoot someone in the head. What they do provide though is a refreshing change from the sort of shit we've been wading through for the past couple of years that masquerades under the 'I'm not really crap, I'm just. Games you can play for hours on without cracking a smile, games that end up with smashing the keyboard in frustration as you're quick saving for the 10th time in a minute.
In GTA III, you can only save after you've completed each mission, and it doesn't really matter whether you end up having to do the same one three or four times to get through.
Each time it'll play out slightly differently or you'll find a faster vehicle hidden away that lets you breeze through a race you were previously struggling to complete in your icecream van. In any case, how can you complain about a game that offers up a mission entitled 'Big 'n' Veiny', where you have to steer a rickety van around town picking up piles of discarded animal porn that's been dropped by someone out of their mind on spank.
I haven't had so much fun in ages and if Rockstar want to employ me as their evangelistically inspired preacher I'd be more than happy to quit my day job.
