The true GTA3 experience is limited to only those who had PlayStation 2's at the time of its release. It couldn't be experienced the same way in ports or re-releases. There was nothing like it, a city caked in atmospheric fog full of life from one end to the other, even when there was an absence of others there was always the proof they existed, rolling trash and forgotten newspapers flying off into the wind, the distant rumble of a train never too far and hearing distant traffic arguments from around the block.
