GTA 2
This game is seriously good fun. Nothing gets rid of all that built up stress better than tearing along a pavement in America, crushing any unlucky inhabitants who happen to get in your way. Even better is to get yourself a machine gun (in the game of course) and go on a killing spree before stealing a few police cars just to get up the noses of the local police force. This games is really addictive and is only let down by its 2D graphics.

Free-form fun in "Glorious 8-bit colour"
Having played Vice City at a friends house, I decided to get this game for my aging GameBoy Colour. And my feelings were mixed. Oh yes.

The game is very easy to get in to, and running over pedestrians is jolly good fun. Getting hold of firepower is relatively easy, and fun to use. The game is also in "glorious 2D 8-bit colour" (I quote the manual). However, 2D eight-bit colour isn't that glorious anymore.

The graphics, while not being an eyesore, are not very impressive. At all. And this game is not easy to control in 2D. And while we are on controls, the actual controls aren't so bad once you get used to them. But the controlls may put you off when you are first playing. Some cars handle better than others, but trying to turn sharply in any of the cars is a challenge. It will take you a long time to complete the part of the city you are in, which may bore you. And the police pop up too quickly and are really frustrating. And there are some dead hard missions as well.

However, all of the bad points in the previous paragraph may put you off, but you shouldn't get put off. The fighting is fun and satisfying and the sound effects are decent enough, too. So my advice is to go out and buy this. Why? Becuse I feel I can comfortably recommend this to anyone.

Oh yes, and the manual is atrocious, too. But who needs manuals, eh?

GTA 2
This Game is not worth buying at all. I must admit that running over pedestrians and murdering lawmen is alot of fun, but after a while you just get bored. The missions are all along the same lines as eachother and it takes ages to complete a level. It's a limited and boring game, my advice don't waste your money on it!
