20 Mind-Blowing Things You Didn't Know About Grand Theft Auto 3

5. All The Cars Have The Same License Plate

Good luck identifying absolutely any driver in Liberty City - all of the vehicles in the game have exactly the same license plate!

Honestly, it's like they are readily encouraging criminal behaviour. God knows how the police always find you so quickly.

If you look really closely at all of the vehicles, you'll see that they all proudly wear the same license plate of 'LC R29'.

We can only assume this was done to save on resources during development, as Rockstar figured you wouldn't be able to easily see the license plate given the PS2's rendering capabilities displaying the license plates as blurry smudges.
