'''Grand Theft Auto III''' is a non-linear driving and shooting game released by {{c|Rockstar North}} on October 22, [[2001]] for the [[PlayStation 2]] and May 21, [[2002]] for [[Windows]], as well as in the [[Grand Theft Auto Double Pack]] and [[Grand Theft Auto Triple Pack]] re-releases.


In more recent years, fan projects have resulted in a [[multiplayer]] component called [http://www.multitheftauto.com Multi Theft Auto] and a [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] total conversion called [http://gtaforums.com/forum/333-gta-liberty-city/ GTA: Liberty City] that adds the newer Vice City elements (such as bikes and helicopters, as well as improved controls) to GTA III.
'''Grand Theft Auto III''' is a non-linear driving and shooting computer and video game released by [[:Category:Rockstar North|Rockstar North]] on [[October 22]], [[2001]] for the [[PlayStation 2]] and [[May 21]], [[2002]] for the [[PC]], as well as in the [[Grand Theft Auto Double Pack]] and [[Grand Theft Auto Triple Pack]] re-releases. As the title implies, the game involves an amount of crime and plenty of carjacking.


==Story==
The game takes place in October 2001. The nameless player character (later revealed in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] to be named "Claude") was betrayed by his girlfriend, Catalina, during a bank heist in Liberty City and arrested. However, Claude escaped when the police convoy he was in was attacked, allowing him to flee and rise in the ranks of the Liberty City underworld and seek revenge on Catalina.
