It was also a change in direction for the series, originally the game was a top down view with basic character sprites and box style cars. Since technology had advanced so did GTA. For the first time, a fully open 3D world was created. Liberty City had never looked better.
10 years on, that ground breaking game is getting a re-release on iOS and Android platforms later in the year. This will only be for high-end devices such as iPad, iPhone 4S, Samsung Galaxy Tab & the HTC Sensation. It just shows how far the tech has come in 10 years.
Rumours are also rife that Rockstar may even re-release GTA III on the PS3 in HD. These are unconfirmed so please take with a pinch of salt.
