There are a variety of reasons why you might want to redo a mission in GTA, even if you have already completed it successfully. Sometimes you want to try a different way of carrying out the mission; other times the mission is just too exciting to play just one time. In any case, being able to replay missions in any version of GTA has to do with how well you can play around with the game’s save files.
Steps
-
Launch Grand Theft Auto III. This can be done either by double-clicking the GTA III shortcut icon on the desktop, if it is there, or by following this Start Menu sequence: Start button >> All Programs >> Rockstar Games >> Grand Theft Auto III.
-
Enter the game world. Press Enter repeatedly to skip through the pre-game cinematics till you arrive at the Main Menu. Click “Start Game” and then “New Game” to start GTA III from the beginning, or click “Load Game” to load a previously saved file and continue from there. This will enter you into the game world.Advertisement
-
Save your current game progress. Before playing the mission you wish to be able to replay, save your current progress. To do this, drive to your safe house (which is represented by a pink house icon on the map to the bottom left corner of your screen) and simply walk in. This will bring up the Save screen.
- On the Save screen, click an empty save slot and click “Yes” to confirm. This will save your progress and return you to the game world.
-
Play the mission for the first time. Start and finish a mission you want to replay. To trigger a mission in GTA III, check your map (located on the bottom left corner of your screen) for icons that represent missions. These icons could be pink- or green-colored blips or sometimes letter icons that represent the gang boss giving you the mission (e.g., L for Luigi).
- Walk or drive to the location of the mission and stand in the blue marker. This will immediately activate the mission. A pre-mission cinematic will play that will give you the mission instructions.
-
Load your previously saved game progress. To do this, press the Esc key to bring up the Main Menu. Click “Start Game” and then “Load Game”; this will take you to the Load Game page.
- On the Load Game page, select the save slot you used to save your current progress earlier, and click “Yes” to confirm. This will load your previously saved game progress and return you to the game world.
-
Replay your mission! Find the mission you want to replay on the game map and trigger it so you can play it again. Using this method, you can replay your mission an infinite number of times. When you’ve had enough fun, just save your progress to continue on to the other missions in the game’s story.
