Grand Theft Auto III is an action-adventure game played from a third-person perspective.
We completes missions—linear scenarios with set objectives—to progress through the story.
It is possible to have several missions available to select from at a time, as some missions require us to wait for further instructions or events.
Outside of missions, we can freely roam the open world and complete optional side missions.
They begin in the borough of Portland, and as they progress through the storyline, they unlock Staunton Island and Shoreside Vale.

Combat, auto-aim can be used as assistance against enemies.
Should we take damage, we can regenerate our health meter with health pick-ups.
Body armour can be used to absorb gunshots and explosive damage, but is depleted in the process.
When health is completely depleted, gameplay stops and we respawns at the nearest hospital, at the expense of losing armor, weapons, and an amount of money.

If we commits crimes, law enforcement agencies may respond as indicated by a "wanted" meter in the head-up display (HUD).
On the meter, the displayed stars indicate the current wanted level; for example, at the maximum six-star level, efforts by law enforcement to incapacitate the player become very aggressive.
Law enforcement officers will search for us as they leave the wanted vicinity. The wanted meter enters a cooldown mode and eventually recedes when we are hidden from the officers' line of sight.

We controls the mute criminal Claude. Throughout the story, Claude meets various characters from the criminal underworld.
As we completes missions for different gangs and criminal organizations, fellow gang members will often defend them, while rival gang members will recognize them and shoot on sight.
While free roaming the world, we may engage in activities such as a vigilante minigame, a firefighting activity, a paramedic service and a taxi service.
Completion of these activities grants context-specific rewards us; for example, completing the vigilante mission allows them to bribe police after committing a crime, reducing the wanted level by one star per bribe.

Combat in Grand Theft Auto III was reworked to allow us to perform drive-by shootings by viewing sideways in a car.
We can use melee attacks, firearms and explosives to fight enemies. The firearms include weapons such as the Micro Uzi, an M16 rifle and a flamethrower.
The three-dimensional environment allows a first-person view while aiming with the sniper rifle, rocket launcher and the M16 rifle.
In addition, combat was reworked to allow us to commit drive-by shootings by facing sideways in a vehicle.
We are given a wide variety of weapon options—they can be purchased from local firearms dealers, found on the ground, retrieved from dead enemies, or found scattered around the city.
