For the first time in the series, the entire game is rendered in 3D. Driving is the main gameplay element in the game, though the player can also fully explore the city on foot. Grand Theft Auto III is similar in its concept to its predecessors: the player is cast in the role of a vicious (albeit novice) criminal, who performs tasks for crime lords and gradually raises his rank in the criminal world. It is time for Claude to rise from the dead and get revenge for what Catalina has done.
Claude gains influence, trust, and most importantly, money along the way. Claude slowly rises through the ranks of the local gangs, gaining trust from local mob bosses and turning on others. Claude and his friend, 8-Ball, escape in the process. However, while being transported to a prison, Colombians ambush the prison van for an inmate riding with Claude.
During a bank heist, Claude is betrayed by Catalina and her Colombian friend Miguel, and he is shot by her just as they are leaving the scene of the crime. Not an American user? DescriptionAfter leaving San Andreas and going on a crime spree throughout the country, Claude Speed and Catalina head to Liberty City for a life of crime.
