Customer Reviews

Very useful ??
Has all that you need to know plus more GTA have out done themselfs again

All you need
You cant really ask for more from a strategy guide, this guide shows you locations of all the pickups you need, the weapons and police bribes are very useful to find easily! The hidden package guide is the most useful! You dont want to get to 99 and cant find the last one! believe me!
There are also detailed descriptions of each mission, some may call this cheating but if your stuck what harm is a little helping hand! If your stuck in the game, buy this!

GTA 3 Guide review
Although the guide had plenty of helpful points (particuarly the clear maps for the hidden packages) it had many flaws which were unexpected for an official strategy guide. One problem was this: the guide listed all of the important items that were scattetered around Liberty city (e.g police bribes, armour) but when it came to showing them on the map, the symbols for each item were tiny and there was no hint to their location to help you find them. The guide also listed only 18 unique jumps on in the guide maps but there are 20 in the game, so the other 2 can only be found by your own exploration. The guide did describe all the weapons and characters in the game, but not the cars which I thought would be helpful in choosing the right car for a mission. The guide also lists where all the characters live or work or their contact points. One other problem is the fact that all the informaion given to you about a mission is obvious and the guide often misses out on the more important details. The secrets section at the back is also flawed (according to the guide you have to achieve 100 ambulance missions to obtain the health and adrenaline powerups but this is actually only 80 in the game.) Little mistakes like that make everything more difficult, but for the majority of the time the guide will get you through a mission, even if the answers lack detail.
