Third time I played GTA I experienced more awesome things that I could do with the character. First of all I can swim in the water, something that was impossible in the first GTA 3D. Whatever you see in game, there is something that you can do with it. Another thing that interested me was when I took another mission from the house next to the one I took the first mission. The mission was to tag the buildings with my gang signs. Instead I went to the tattoo shop and spent some money over there. I like the detail of how many options the player gets of what to put on the character. Next I went to the barber shop and got myself an afro. After that I went to the fast food place to regain some energy by consuming a chicken and pizza (I think that’s what it was). Overall the game is really sterotyping the lives of gang mambers. The game includes all the vilence that is seen in movies about gangs and their activities.

How do you think the game compares to similar (i.e. gang-related/criminal-related) movies, tv shows, or other media? Is the public outcry well-deserved in this regard?
