GTA 3 Memories

Just thought I would kick off the first topic for this club. I remember getting my PS2 in 2000 and being ecstatic for the DualShock 2 and "pressure sensitive" buttons. This was mind blowing for the time. Then GTA 3 came out a year later in 2001 and boy did it blow my mind. The real time weather effects, the rain, the 5 star wanted level. I played this game so much I can't tell you how many times I tried to fly the dodo across the ocean, or get a 5 star wanted level to hijack the tank and rampage around the city. By the time Vice City came out I was a little jaded by GTA and admittedly did not play it as much as GTA 3. This is the game that got me hooked for sure.
