Grand Theft Auto III Cheats, Codes, and Walkthroughs (PC)

Released in 2001 by Rockstar Games, Grand Theft Auto III (GTA3) introduced the 3D, third-person, over-the-shoulder gameplay perspective to the Grand Theft Auto series. GTA3 also marked the return to Liberty City from GTA and introduced the main character — Claude — and his backstory, which has been integral to the overarching storyline.

GTA3 is still popular today, in part because it's a hard game to win. The nonlinear, open-ended storyline enables you to move about the game world of Liberty City, completing missions at your leisure. As you play, however, you may run into difficult missions that hold you up. How can you get past these tough spots? GTA3 cheat codes to the rescue!
