I got my copy the day it released and I'm SO glad I did. Amazing game, so sad that it had to be pulled (btw, where did u get this info?)

I'm sick of the media though...MGS2 was almost delayed due to the fact that it relates to terrorists...now what if they pull that from the shelves too (only temp. though)? If anything, GTA3 helps me relieve stress...

NOPE.

Ive been hearing this a LOT, but its not true, unless you can prove otherwise. GTA3 is violent, but not necessarily more graphic than Carmageddon or Turok 2 or ANY previous videogame for that matter. You do have a lot of freedom, but it hasnt been pulled worldwide.

The game was released about a month ago, and due to POPULARITY- sold out quickly. The printing of subsequent games has been slow, and so stores have run out. It wasnt pulled because I just ordered the game and still got it. Wait a couple of weeks and there will be more copies to buy...or provide some proof it has been banned...cause I have heard otherwise, and would provide a link, but the site isnt up right now. late/

Its not true that its been pulled from every shelf, although some stores have pulled that game, such as my local Best Buy and Blockbuster. Some stores have pulled it while others haven't but its not totaly gone so you can still get it, but its gonna be a lil harder.

i never saw GTA 3, but i use to play GTA all the time.... i wouldn't be that disappointed if they pulled it and it wasn't as good as GTA, cause i played GTA 2 and it just sucked compared to the first one... cars and everything was just shit.

Nope, the funniest music to get chased to is the opera music.

BULLSHIT! simply BULLSHIT!
GTA series has been oneof the best game series ever... the idea, the implementation... everything... it's such a stupid thing all this violence rating... like, don't sell it o kids unless their parents are present if U want... I wonder what the guys at the software developing company think, after all this work...
I hope they decide to give it back... it IS just a game!
