Here are the major players in a game that is almost certainly one of the most influential of all time. A huge part of that was due to the incredibly high standard of voice acting, and Rockstar pulled out all the stops, scoring recognizable Hollywood voices to bring their script to life. It took being a video game seriously and referenced major pop culture pillars, like Goodfellas and The Godfather, while managing to feel more like an epic-scale interactive movie than “just” a game.
When Grand Theft Auto III was first released 15 years ago, one of its most significant achievements was how much more culturally connected it felt than any game before it.
