INDIANAPOLIS - May 16, 2002 - Crime does pay, if you survive. Mob bosses want favors, crooked cops want hush money, and street gangs are breathing down your neck. Sounds dangerous? Players of Rockstar's smash hit Grand Theft Auto III, now for the PC, are in luck, as the BradyGames Official Strategy Guide provides the tools to survive and climb the ladder of crime successfully.

The Grand Theft Auto III Official Strategy Guide gives gamers the inside track on becoming an enterprising criminal. Expert tactics detail what vehicles to drive, where to go, and who to knock-off to complete each mission. The guide also provides complete coverage of every mission, including the side missions and all twenty Rampages and Unique Jumps to direct gamers in their daunting quest. With tips to unlock all 100 hidden packages, every vehicle mission, cool game secrets, and more, players are sure to not only prevail, but profit in this brutal world. In addition, the bonus full-color map section calls out key items and locations to put gamers on the road to success.

"Now that Grand Theft Auto III is releasing for the PC, we've had the time to go back to the game and significantly expand upon our original guide." said David Waybright, publisher of BradyGames. "Considering that the series started on the PC, we've put an amazing amount of detail into this guide for all the long-time fans."

Grand Theft Auto III is the latest version of the most widely recognized video game title in the U.S. Gamers assume the role of a betrayed man who has turned to the Mafia for revenge. Players embark on a quest through numerous missions that will require them to steal cars, break laws, take out enemies, and virtually anything else to get a handle on ruthless crime in the seedy underworld of Liberty City.
