Sex & Nudity

  • Two women are implied to engage in lesbian sex and BDSM.
  • There is prostitute in GTA III but none of them are animated so the player and prostitute are just sitting In the car while the car moves around
  • Some references to prostitution; there are red light districts and prostitutes walking the streets, but no sexual activity is seen.
  • A couple of references in cutscenes
  • Prostitutes roam the streets, and can be picked up to have sex with the player. Only the car rocking back and forth is shown. No animations between them are actually used.

Violence & Gore

  • It is implied one mission boss is a serial killer who wants you to bring him people so he can turn them into dog food.
  • Lots of killing and blood you can kill inoccent people cops and other criminals blood splatters when you shoot them.
  • You have the ability to mercilessly kill pedestrians, either by running over and crushing them or killing them with weapons.
  • Whenever you shoot somebody, lots of blood spray, and blood pools surround their bodies.
  • On PS2 with the gore cheat and PC, using sniper rifles and other big guns, you can shoot people's heads, arms and legs off, and they bleed copiously.
  • You can beat people up with baseball bats, and once they're dead, you can beat them further and make them bleed more.
  • You can burn people alive with a flamethrower and molotov cocktails. They are heard screaming and their charred corpse is shown afterward.
  • Despite this, after you have killed a pedestrian, an ambulance arrives and paramedics "revive" them.
  • Prostitutes can be killed after being inside your car and having sex.
  • Any crime you commit will involve into a 1-6 star wanted level by the police. The higher the wanted level, the more difficult it gets, having police groups change from the S.W.A.T, FBI, and finally to the military where they will attempt to kill you or knock you down to get 'busted'.

Profanity

  • When driving sometimes the radio bleeps out the word "damn"
  • Only one use of F-Word in the whole game - Black thug pedestrian on the street sometimes says "i'll fuck you ass" when you bump into him.
  • Surprisingly infrequent, mild language. "S**t" is said a few times, along with some uses of "bastard", "damn" and "hell"
  • Your character can sometimes be seen sticking his middle finger up at cars when he stands in the middle of the road and motorists horn at him.
  • Occasionally, when having their car stolen, characters can be heard saying "What the f-", but we do not hear the word in full.
  • Any pedestrians getting attacked yell out phrases before they are killed/when they are in defense (attacking the main character) such as:

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • A few references to a fictional drug named "Spank", but it's all pretty mild.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Overall dark and gritty atmosphere. Disturbing mission boss who's implied to be a serial killer.
  • When running over a pedestrian, they are instantly crushed to death, making a "crunch crack" noise implying their bones breaking, this may traumatize the player or gross them out a bit.
  • Some missions can be intense, but there are no frightening scenes. In fact, the gameplay elements and storyline are very dark-humored.
