NeonOctopus 07/02/22 4:14:21 PM #1:	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0l-YFHv0PtU There was no experience like it before when it came out. You had the ability to walk around this big 3D city and do whatever the hell you wanted. You see a cool car you like? Go steal it and drive it around! Some NPC looked at you funny? Shoot him with a shotgun cuz why not! Wanna just play taxi driver? Take a cab and do just that! The city truly felt alive and had this really cool atmosphere, which the real life music and radio talk shows just added to it. And it felt like there was always something fun to do, either from the missions, the side activities, or even just you fucking around with the world. Even reviewers who got a preview of it knew it was gonna be fucking big https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ED8QDtjwTU GTA3 really was a huge milestone in games. It was an amazing experience to play back when it came out, and even now if you can adjust to it.

Gobstoppers12 07/03/22 12:12:02 PM #47:	El Mexicano Texano posted... considering I played Driver 2 I remember this game blowing my fucking mind, too. It was the first driving game I ever played where the character could actually get out of their car. That was huge at the time, even though the top-down GTA games had been doing it since 1997. Also I always loved the first Driver for its realism in following the rules of the road. Run a red light? Get busted. Forget your turn signal? Busted. It was the perfect game to play with friends, passing the controller, seeing who could drive the longest without losing their patience and getting run down by the cops. --- I write Naruto Fanfiction.

Southernfatman 07/03/22 12:16:30 PM #49:	I also loved Driver 2 back then. Me and my best friend would play it for hours. We got to the very last level, but couldn't beat it though. Still, GTA 3 blew it out of the water. It even made fun of Driver/Tanner. I liked back then how all those open world crime games would take shots at each other. Foppe posted... That Driver tutorial.
