The third installment of the smash GTA series covers a fictional triumvirate of locales resembling Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Las Vegas. Set in the early ‘90s, this game features a retro soundtrack and scores of celebrity voices. In a sure-to-be-controversial feature, the game allows players to enlist CG gang members for four-way drive-by shootings. A revised stamina meter and newly-incorporated "Ragdoll physics" make for realistic wounds and shockwaves from explosions. Weakened players can go to a virtual gym to improve their abilities.
