Umm... are you sure you have played this game? :unsure:

The missions AND the story in GTA3 kill SMS any day. Plus, you get to make up your own missions. You can have intents to do any ol BS. And you can turn it into a multi player game... for example, me and my friends had a Cop killing competition.

This game has a strong story line if you chose to follow it, and that choice is what makes it great. Oh yeah, and the fact that it's extremely realistic. :)

I agree that the storyline is pretty good, the only thing is like they don't y'know... go into enough detail... sometimes when you're doing the missions, it doesn't even seem like you're working towards getting the revenge on those people, it just seems like you're doing missions...

I think it might have been better if you would have had like one main gang/boss guy... like say if you stayed in the Mafia... But instead they had you jumping all over the place, which was still fun and stuff, but I think the storyline could have been much better if they would have stuck with one main gang you do stuff for... You could do stuff for others, but the story progresses through the one gang...

But I dunno...

But yeah the storyline is pretty good, it's just like the game doesn't follow too closely to it, so you really gotta be into it yourself to follow it... And for some people I guess that's hard :p

But now with a main character and speaks, and 3 times the amount of cutscenes, hopefully the story will be much more closely followed... still being able to go out on crazy rampages, but when you actually go in for a mission, it actually feels like the storyline is progressing, rather than just getting another mission...

They're also trying to make the missions longer, more complex, etc... Which should be good... :D

I wish he could have just stayed in the Mafia... I was acctually pissed at Maria when I heard she screwd me out of the Mob.

when I was riding that boat I wanted to go to the back and shoot them both...

I'm pretty sure you can do that... I remember being curious if I could or not, so I shot one of them once with a handgun and they started shooting at me, so I took control of the boat again and they stopped :p

But you could probably kill them if you shoot them more of with a more powerful weapon... you'd just fail the mission ;)

I don't understand that mission in the first place. I just went with my gut and followed the pager.

I killed both of those hoes. I failed the mission, though.

Did any of you ever not listen to the pager?

I did and Maria was correct. It was a set-up. When I got to the place where I was supposed to get the car or whatever, there was an ambush.

Well I noticed the pager the first time... my brother didn't, cuz he doesn't pay much attention...

But then in a later game I deliberately didn't listen to see what would happen...

Normally I just blow up the car from a distance... TRYING TO SET ME UP, TAKE THAT, DUMBASSES!!!!!!
