21 Most Replayable Video Games Of The 2000s

2. Grand Theft Auto 3

It's hard to pick just one GTA as it's horses for causes as far as individual tastes make either the neon-soaked streets of Vice City more appealing than the gang-filled back-alleys of San Andreas, yet it was GTA III that was a complete game-changer in every way possible. Potentially being the Nirvana of the gaming world, III came out of nowhere and redefined the very idea of interaction within a given gaming world, liberating players within a carefully-crafted framework to experiement and seek out new and unique ways to complete missions. Playing by none other than their own rules, Rockstar's masterpiece came fully-formed back in a day where after-release patches didn't exist, and you'll scarcely find anyone who didn't have a perfect experience from their time in Liberty City. To all who played at the time - or any who can put the disc in and do away with graphical comparisons to modern titles - the world presented immediately gave off the completely unique and utterly insatiable urge to just do EVERYTHING. Replay it specifically for: The first time you hop into a car, tune the radio station into something suitably anarchy-backing and burn off down Chinatown to off some Triads. You could feel the revolution with every second of GTA III, and it remains eminently replayable because of it.
