Product Description

This may be the video game your mother warned you about. Rather than being penalised for each innocent pedestrian you hit, in Grand Theft Auto 2 you're rewarded. Like its predecessor, the game is viewed from a bird's-eye perspective, and you play as one of the little people in a vast futuristic city. The object is to prove your mettle to warring gangs by car-jacking innocent victims, assassinating rivals, stealing drug shipments and completing assorted other missions. But if you are not the type to take orders, you can do anything you want, thanks to the game's loose, non-linear structure. For example, you can commandeer a bus and take it along its regular route--the passengers will pay the fare without noticing anything different. But if you decide to plough the bus through the side of a building--and you know you eventually will--they will start jumping out of the windows. And because you are hopping from vehicle to vehicle, you get a good sampling of the city's radio formats--everything from techno to top 40, classic rock to country. Be sure to keep moving, though--the cops will always be on your tail.

GTA II
Having spent far more time than I should have done playing GTA during my time at university, I was champing at the bit for GTA2. Put simply, it's great. It's better than the first one as it looks far more sophisticated - there are exciting-looking explosions when you hit cars with rocket launchers, and the volt-gun also provides snazzy graphics with electric shocks snaking over the screen. But the best thing about it is being able to drive like a total lunatic, mowing people down and picking on one gang in order to be given the "genocide" points reward. It's violent like the last one - gives you the opportunity to take out those everyday frustrations in a stress-relieving I-didn't-kill-my-flatmate way. Fantastic. And not just for men.

Brill, brill, brill!

GTA 2 - a gaming Masterpiece
The original GTA was groundbreaking, with its over head perspective that gave you, the player the chance to take part in some of the best car chases that had ever been seen in a video game. Thankfully the developers have taken what made GTA so good and built on it. With what is a brilliant sequel. In GTA 2 you not only have to contend with an over zealous police force, but with rival gangs who will stop at nothing to try and fill you with a ton of lead. These other gangs become an integral part of the game, as you form alliances with one gang and help it in feud's with the other gangs. As you gain more "respect" with one gang the other gangs will dislike you more. When you become an accomplished hit man/ bank robber/ general miscreant you can do bigger and better jobs for the Boss. So with these added elements, and many others such as more vehicles characters ( Elvis impersonators!) GTA 2 is a must buy for any aspiring gangsta, or for that matter anyone who likes a game with a bit of substance.
