Grandtheftauto3.com is a promotional website for Grand Theft Auto III owned and operated by Rockstar Games.
The official Flash website was taken down in late 2020, but a recreation in HTML5 is available here.
Description[]
Grandtheftauto3.com was the promotional website of Grand Theft Auto III which contained previews, screenshots, news and info about the game.
The main page of the original website contained the three islands the player could explore in Liberty City, those being Portland, Staunton Island and Shoreside Vale. Clicking on one of the islands would make the page zoom into it and show small blips which marked landmarks on the island. The blips can be clicked to show details about the landmark including text, pictures and audio. Some would redirect the viewer to external websites which are now unavailable.
The website also had menu bars in the header which redirected the user to different pages of the website. The first is the Info page which contained a small overview of the game's plot, and meta information about the game's content. The next page is the Screens page which contained cinematic screenshots of various locations in the game. The next page is the Movies page which had the official clips of the game until it was no longer available; it also contained gameplay clips serving as a preview for the game. The next page is the Characters page which contained the descriptions and story of the main characters and groups in the game. The last page is the News page which had news about the game.
