There are several stations that can be seen advertised on billboards throughout Liberty City. Some examples of commercials within the game are: the Maibatsu Monstrosity adverts ("Mine is bigger!"), Fernando's New Beginnings ("A revolutionary new way to save your marriage."), the given phone number of which is 555-9292, and the new video game Pogo the Monkey ("He's got springs for legs!"). The website displays pictures of animals and promises "If it's got a central nervous system, we've got it ready to go in a box to your house", tying in with the humour in the commercials. Rockstar actually created these websites, and though many links just eventually lead back to the Rockstar site, some are really quite detailed. Several adverts mention telephone numbers and official websites. They are fairly convincing as real adverts as they adhere to many typical marketing clichés and tricks. They are all written by Dan Houser and Lazlow (the latter of whom also produced them). The myriad commercials that appear throughout the game deserve a special mention. The following persons are credited for guest voices: On this station Lazlow talks with guests and callers (mainly citizens of Liberty City). CD Changer (Xbox only) - Plays Songs Ripped From CD's Stored On Hard DiskĬhatterbox FM is a talk radio hosted by Lazlow himslef.MP3 Player (PC only) - User-Defined Track Player.The player can listen to the following radio stations: It is worth noting that virtually none of the contributing real artists were particularly well-known at the time, and appearing on such a popular video game was no doubt greatly advantageous to their careers. Craig Conner and Stuart Ross created the original tracks, often with vocals and performances by other musicians. In law enforcement vehicles basic radio cannot be heard but police chatter can be heard instead.Īlthough many of the songs that appear in the game were written specially for the soundtrack (or in some cases for the soundtracks of previous games in the series), a large number of tracks were contributions by real artists. GTA III includes different genres of music and introduced a talk show radio.
Most radio stations play a mixture of music, DJ chat, and spoof advertising. Like GTA 2, radio stations can only be heard while in a vehicle. The radio stations in Grand Theft Auto III are a huge expansion over the radio stations of its predecessor, Grand Theft Auto 2.
