Things GTA3 lacks...

An official charater selection
Gouranga
Motorcycles

Add to the list.

Kill Frenzy (rampages don't count)

More Bonuses besides Insane Stunts (GTA2 has plenty of them, such as Wang Car, Crazy Hill Kill, etc.)

A huge monster truck! You NEED a Monster Truck! Something that is bigger than the Tank, Barracks, Bus etc. combined! Something as big as that truck in the first level of Sonic Adventure 2 Battle! Something that breaks overhead bridges and buildings by sliding through them! Something that crushes cars and drives over them painlessly (the tank blows them up and pushes them forwards, instead of driving over them)

I just notice something on gta3.OK when it rains you see no one with an umbrella(hmmmm i guess they all like to have a shower in the rain, o well you can't be that prefect).Also they are missing some cars listed belong

bikes(not motorcycles)
towTruck
boats(like have other people driving boats ,fishing or hot chicks on the boat calling you hehhe)
able to go in the back of the taxis and get him to take you where ever you want(only on that island)
that is mostly it i know

They lacked a helicopter. That would have ruled. Aerial battles against the LCPD. Swwop in to wipe out some Diablo scum!

I'd like to see the game follow an actual calender. Like, from say November to February the whole City would be covered in snow (of course this won't happen in vice City, that's Florida).

That monster truck Lupus was talking about should be the... Maibatsu Monstrosity!! That would rule.

Taking people hostage. How useful would that be to get away if you can't escape.

Yes but you must take into effect how reckless LCPD officers are. 3 cars were chasing me the other day in Staunton Island. I was going around the contruction site and one of the cop cars went into one of them blue things. The car killed like 15 people.

Now seeing how that is done do you really think they would care you had a hostage?

Yeah, I wish the cops acted a bit more professionally.

There's always Vice City. They need a hire thug place. Like if your friendly with certain gangs you can go to their HQ and for high prices like 10,000 you can put together a team of Yakuzas or Mafiosos or heck...even those damn back-stabbing Yardies and with them attack another gang and help spread the turf of your favorate group. Now that would be great. Heck maybe you could build your own gang turf. My gang would only drive custom Banshees. Too bad it probably wont happen.

That would be awesome too. You could recruit new members and stuff too.

Blinkers on the cars.
I wish the cops would go after people who shoot at you, when you don't return fire.

More strategic police, swat, millitary forces. Like if your holed inside a building, I want them to circle and negotiate with me, not just rush in and then get their heads blown off by me with my shotgun.

Blinkers would me cool. It would make it easier to follow cars...

I'd like to be able to pick people up in my car OTHER than whores. Hitchhikers or something.

Then kill them or lock them in the car as the car is lifted into a crusher?

turn signals that you can activate on your car and that the police arn't so reckless b/c thats like unreal. police have tire spikes for cars that they lay out ahead where you go

how about inside. It'd be cool if you could go inside buildings.

I think I read that Rockstar found out how they can acompish that without slowing down the game on the PS2. I know they're also allowing players to go inside buildings in the game Mafia, which is like a 1930s/40s GTA.

Lacks:

Blinkers (Duh!)
Police tactics
Going in buildings (The hugest mistake)
Indents in buildinds or causing them to fall down (Changed due to 9/11)
Rocket launchers blow people into pieces!
when with hooker, they don't just sit while the car shakes, they should at least do something!

There IS a rocket launcher. Hmm, lesse, I'd say a plane that flies for more than 20 seconds, and a place to change your hair color and stuff (so if you're being chased and you somehow get away, you can get your hair dyed, and nobody would recognize you.)

As a matter of fact, there is a code that makes people's limbs and heads fly off when shot with a powerful gun or explosion. The cheat does not save, so it must be entered every time you play. Forgot it though...

And yeah, geo-modification (like the one used in Red Faction) would have been a great effect. Though I think the damage should be toned down a little. Driving through a total war zone would be difficult - though fun... But if you were to enter buildings, (another needed feature) damage to may get complicated.

In addition to all the other things mentioned, I felt that "Ice Cream Truck" missions were needed. I mean, come on! When you get a hold of a Mr. Whoopee van, don't you wish you could go around dispensin' creamy ice with da jingle jingle? And then mowing them down of course...

As far as the better police tactics are involved, I also thought it would be interesting to be able to get tickets on the first star instead of arrest.

As great as all of these ideas are, in my mind, I would gladly swap them for one feature - one which I know will never be added. The ability to completely control your character's appearance. The ability to even create characters from other games if you're skilled enough - AND make moves for them! Picture this:

It's a dark rainy night. Few people are out at this late hour, but those that are will never see daylight again. Suddenly, from out of a dark alley, RAZIEL (the guy from Soul Reaver) emerges, takes a pedestrian’s head off with his claws, devours the soul, spins around and pulls out an Uzi, purging the sidewalk of life. A cop on the intersecting street sees this horror and comes at you, guns a blazing. But as quickly as it happened, you are gone. In actuality, as Raziel, you simply climbed straight up the building wall, eyeing the policeman, waiting for him to give up and go about his business...
