[[Grand Theft Auto III]] ([[2001]]) was set in fictional [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]] (based on the east coast of America) in 2001. This game brought a third-person view to the series, rather than the traditional top-down view of earlier titles (although the view is still made available as an optional camera angle). Graphics were also updated with a new 3D game engine. While not the first of its kind, the gameplay engine had expanded the explorable world, doing away with a traditional game structure where the player faces a "boss" at the end of the level and moves onto a new level, opting instead for more realistic mission-based approach. [[Multiplayer]] was discarded (third party mods were later released, allowing for multiplayer gameplay) but GTA III improved in many other areas such as voice-acting and storyline (before, there was speech only in short animated [[cutscene]]s between levels, other communication was simply subtitles running on the bottom of the screen). Pop culture also is cemented into GTA III, drawing many aspects and ideas from popular films and shows such as Scarface, Goodfellas, and The Sopranos. | [[Grand Theft Auto III]] ([[2001]]) was set in fictional [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]] (based on the east coast of America) in 2001.
