Is GTA 3 Still Great? (GTA 3 Review)

In 2001 Grand Theft Auto 3 laid the foundations for open worlds in gaming, but as we approach its 20th anniversary, is it still great today? (GTA 3 Review).

Making this GTA 3 Review was like taking a trip down memory lane, revisiting all the locations of Liberty City from when I was a kid. But 20 years later things have changed. And has Rockstar's masterpiece been left in the dust. Throughout this review, I'll be assessing GTA 3 against modern games, and while most of it still holds up, there are a lot of issues.
