It will also be possible to have multiple active missions, due to the fact that some missions will take many days and will require the player to wait for further instructions to be able to go on with the game. Mobile phones can be used to perform multiple actions. A version of the phone appears at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen and a list of several commands is available to the player, such as "meet me here," and so on. Retrying a failed mission is also possible by accessing to the menu. The phone can also be used outside vehicles to listen to the radio. The player can take photos with the mobile phone and upload them to the police computer. According to reviewers the game can be basically played from beginning to end without a single load screen. The soundtrack has been described as “modern and suits the mood perfectly”. Actually no characters from the previous games are returning, as a lot of them are already dead.

In 1997 Scottish games developer DMA Design released the first Grand Theft Auto on PC and PlayStation. A top-down, free-roaming crime-em up, GTA gained controversy and acclaim in equal amounts for its violent gangster gameplay, car-jacking focus and superbly risqué soundtrack. A decade later, the now renamed Rockstar Games is responsible for changing the face of gaming. PS2 Grand Theft Auto III gave gamers a fully 3D playground in which to explore, play, and affect...
