The original GTAIII police cars (top), and the police cars from the released game (bottom).
  • The LCPD police vehicle liveries were changed from then-current NYPD blue with white stripes to LAPD-style black and white.
  • The character of Darkel, a revolutionary domestic terrorist, was cut. (Some, but not all, of his missions were subsequently given to other characters.)
  • A mission that involved flying the Dodo was cut.
  • Certain player skins, accessible with cheat codes, were removed.
  • The ability to blow limbs off of non-playable characters was cut from the PS2 version of the game.
  • Elderly pedestrians with walkers were removed.
  • Children and a driveable school bus were cut.

Some, although probably not all, of these changes were thought to have been as a result of the 9/11 attacks.

Perhaps the most famous BETA in Grand Theft Auto III was the terroist Darkel,Not much is known about him but it is known that he would give the player terrorist like missions for example attracting pedestrians with an ice cream truck rigged with a bomb and blow up the pedestrians (which was later given to El Burro in the final version),Set people on fire with a Flamethrower,Rigging a Schoolbus with a bomb and blowing up the Liberty City High School,and hitting a Dodo in the Love Building to kill Donald Love.Another deleted character was Curtly though not much is known about him he may be linked to Darkel.Before Rockstar North chose Claude as the protagonist they were considering another protagonist called Novy but changed it for no reason. The graphics were completely different from the final version,as the BETA graphics were more cartoonish like The Simpsons video game.Before Punk Noodles was added it was just 2 statues.Another famous feature was the adding of kids in the beta version but Rockstar took it out as it would cause alot of controversy.
