GTA III was the first GTA game to use the over-the-shoulder perspective in gameplay, with the camera located behind and above the [[Protagonist|player character]], as opposed to the [[Top-Down Perspective|top-down perspective]] primarily used in its predecessors ([[Grand Theft Auto 1|GTA 1]], [[Grand Theft Auto: London 1969|GTA London 1969]], [[Grand Theft Auto: London 1961|GTA London 1961]] and [[Grand Theft Auto 2|GTA 2]]). This new perspective has been praised as being a key reason for the success of the series, alongside the new control scheme, both of which have been used in subsequent games.
