It could be argued that GTA 3 is rightfully the hardest game in the entire series.
Summary Five reasons GTA 3 is arguably the hardest game in the series 5) No maps in the pause menu 4) Pay 'n' Spray and Ammu-Nation don't appear on the map 3) Lack of general quality of life improvements 2 ) Cannot jump from moving vehicles 1) Brutal gangsDifficulty in video games is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it's rewarding to overcome a challenge after spending some time doing it. On the other hand, it can prevent some players from trying the game or just frustrate them when finishing it. It entirely depends on the player's personal preferences.
However, GTA 3 is arguably the hardest game in the entire GTA series. It's not known for its difficulty, but that doesn't mean the GTA franchise doesn't have its tedious moments.
In the case of GTA 3, much of the difficulty comes from the fact that it is one of the first games in the series, which can make it old-fashioned for fans of more modern games.
Five reasons why GTA 3 is without a doubt the hardest game in the series
5) No map in pause menu
It's weird to think of a GTA game without a visible map. However, the original versions of GTA 3 did not have an in-game map that players could use for their convenience. If a player wanted to have a game map on non-mobile ports, he would have to resort to using a mod.
Alternatively, they can just use a printed map and use the in-game minimap to get an idea of where they should go. As a result, memorizing each location is more important than usual in GTA 3.
4) Pay 'n' Spray and Ammu-Nation do not appear on the map
The lack of a visible map is inconvenient, as is the fact that Pay 'n' Sprays don't appear on the minimap after the first few missions. This means that GTA 3 players will have to remember each location and its whereabouts. Even if the player is within an inch of a Pay 'n' Spray, it will not appear on the minimap.
These Pay 'n' Sprays still work normally, but are sometimes hard to find. Likewise, Ammu-Nation also does not appear on the map. Adds many unnecessary challenges that later games in the series lack.
Players should remember that being “Wasted” or “Busted” means they will no longer have their weapons.

As GTA 3 is the first GTA 3D game, it was inevitable that it lacked a number of useful quality-of-life features found in later titles. The lack of a map and markers on the minimap are good examples, but this entry is also related to some of the more generic improvements.
Claude doesn't know how to swim, climb, use the cover system, sneak, and his aim is rather clumsy. As a result, GTA 3 can feel choppy at times, which can reduce some players' enjoyment of the game.
2) Cannot jump from moving vehicles
Jumping out of a moving vehicle is a feature that many GTA fans take for granted. It debuted in GTA Vice City and has been a useful feature in every major game ever since. However, it was notably absent in GTA 3.
Combine that with GTA 3's notoriously poor vehicle durability, and the player has a recipe for disaster. Add to that the inability to swim, and it's clear that the player can die in a variety of ways, thanks to this frustrating aspect.
GTA 3 players have to resort to shoddy mods to replicate a basic quality of life feature.
1) Brutal gangs
GTA 3 gangs are brutal. Most gangs in the game become hostile towards the player at some point, and it doesn't help that they are packing serious weapons. The YouTube video shows a good example of how the infamous mafia shotgun can be devastating in Leone territory.
This is also in line with the previous entry. Vehicles have low durability in GTA 3, which means the player can easily die while exploring the map. This, in turn, makes missions in vehicles like Taxi Driver and Paramedic a nightmare.
Gangs in other GTA games don't come close to being as dangerous as the ones in GTA 3. Gangs like the Ballas and the Haitians look like Boy Scouts in comparison.
St. Marks is one of the most dangerous locations in the entire series, especially because of how powerful these hostile gangs can be.
