Grand Theft Auto III makes use of a 3D game engine (operating environment), special effects for fires, explosions, and gore. Ground breaking, never before seen features include changes in weather from sun to rain, changes in time of day (1 in game minute equals approximately 1-1.5 seconds), the freedom to highjack or steal cars, and kill pedestrians and police officers through a variety of means. Some of these features were also implemented in [[Grand Theft Auto 1]] and [[Grand Theft Auto 2]], however only GTA 3 had achieved this open world freedom and gameplay in a 3D environment and with textures that were very detailed for the time. Vehicles include various cars, trucks, vans and buses based on their real life counterparts.
