Grand Theft Auto 3 is a slight disappointment to me. It is fun, has cool weapons, and if you throw a grenade at a gang, the result is very satisfying. However, I do not like this game much for the following reasons.
One- I don't like that you start the game out having a mission. Some missions are fun, but I don't like being forced to do one, especially in the beginning of the game.
Two- It's just not as fun as San Andreas and GTA 4. This one gets boring for me after about a week, whereas San Andreas and 4 can keep me hooked for months.
Therefore, it's really your choice if you want to buy this game, but I recommend buying San Andreas first, because this one is kind of boring.
