Talk about disappointment Grand Theft Auto 3 for the pc was released this week I went out and purchased it and when I got it home and installed it we discovered it does NOT INCLUDE A MULTIPLAYER MODE - I have some very pissed off kids in the house. Since GT 1 and 2 had multiplayer modes everyone expected that 3 (for the pc) would support multiplaying. It is a terrific game but this is pretty much theft from the company to keep this limitation a secret from kids with high hopes.
