...into the fantastic world of Grand Theft Auto. I am talking about the original here guys, not the London one and not the second one (don't get me started on that one - I am so lost on it!). This is a game of speed, reactions, and most of all FUN!!!! From start to finish (that can be a long way off!) you are totally engrossed in the streets and neighbourhoods of Liberty City, San Andreas and Vice City. Maps are provided with the game so that you can ...
...in VERY handy sometimes and other times are just a nuisance!). Basically you are a pawn. You work for some hard gangster who is sending you out on all these missions for him. Some are hard as nails like dropping suspiscious packages off bridges. Some are ridiculous like picking up someone's dog. Some are just fun like the one where you get in a van and use a remote control to direct a little toy car around to blow someone's car up. There are many ...

...now though. In grand theft auto, you have to hijack vehicles and then drive around the city looking for jobs in order to earn points and finish the level, While you are diving around the city you can also drive over innocent pedestrians smash in to other cars and motorbikes, any thing that is on the road and then engage your self in a high-speed car chase with the police. You can also get out of your car and go on a mad killing spree with your ...
...easily get more ammo just by shooting at or driving over the boxes which are placed on the side walks nearly every where. If you get bored of playing the missions then you can just drive around the city and go to the docks where you can sell the cars you steal for quite a lot of money. My favourite part of the game is being chased by the police, I love watching them making their futile attempts to stop me as I ram through their small roadblocks ...

...the actual death or imprisonment. Grand Theft Auto came out in 1997 and has an 18 certificate due to its rude and violent nature. I vaguely remember a bit of a fuss about it at the time but naturally that only served to sell more copies. As the game begins you have to choose from four male and four female characters and enter a name. The object of the game is to reach a certain number of points as this allows you to progress to the next stage. There ...

I was very upset buy this and got really upset and just moped around sulking. But anyway three years on I got this game from electronics boutique for a five pounds.

You get money from completing missions and generally blowing every thing up. The missions are ...

This is one game that has a stupendously high level of re playability. It’s addictive and fun, and absolutely brilliant when you’re in a particularly foul mood. When the game first arrived, there were a few who thought it should be banned, but not so much so that the blood of your hapless victims had to be turned green (i.e. as in Carmageddon). The basic plot of the game is that you’re some guy, or girl(albeit a seemingly lesbian one from some of ...
...crony, or whatever. And basically, the big guys tell you what to do, and you do it and get points(if you do it well). And once you’ve reached a certain amount of points you get a call to go see some guy, and the level will end(when you go see the guy). Sounds thrilling don’t it just not? But that’s just my bad writing technique! The real fun starts when you play it for yourself. It’s a top down view on a city(there’s 3 sprawling cities for you to ...

I got this ages ago, thankfully my mum didn't notice the age certificate when she bought it. The aim of the game is to drive around the city killing people and stealing cars. The controls are very simple and its very easy to do some impressive skids and jumps. There are is a large range of vehicles to choose from which includes: Sports cars such as Cosworths, Beast Gti(Dodge Viper), articulated trucks, and school-buses.You can also get police cars, ...
...feature in the game is the massive range of methods with which you can kill people or destroy cars. You can just run people over, or you can kill them with a weapon such as a flame thrower or rocket launcher. You can have a bomb fitted to your vehicle and leave your car in the middle of the road so the bomb causes a chain reaction down the queue of traffic. You can drive vehicles into the water or off roofs, and the police can ram you until you explode. ...

Grand Theft Auto One of the most addictive games ever out. You can get add on packs like London to the game if you want more. As the name suggests you have to steal an outrageous number of cars, limos and buses in order to complete various dastardly missions. Most involve committing a variety of felonies, such as bank jobs. Weapons also from an integral of Grand Theft Auto, with a few machines guns and even rocket launchers used to blast other ...

...revealed the game to be Grand Theft Auto, not the most wholesome sounding game for 12 and 13 year olds so i told them to delete it and see if they could return it, it's an 18 cert after all. They didn't delete it, and, bored of Freecell one day and chess, i happened upon it in decided to investigate for myself: i was instantly hooked.

Grand Theft Auto This game is based around the idea of car theft and petty crime. You play the role of a criminal, who is intent on becoming the major player of the area. You must take work for rival factions to earn enough money to become in charge. You do this by earning respect from the gangs by working for them and completing tasks they set. The tasks can be quite difficult. Often they are set against the clock with short time limits, such ...
...and bank hoists are not against the clock, but have the added impact of the police chasing you to increase the tempo. Some mini missions, such as killing sprees are against the clock, and have set targets to gain bonuses. There are many weapons and cars to choose from in the game. My favourites range from the A-Type car (nice and speedy but easy to handle) to the molokotov cocktail's, which cause maximum damage. And cars rigged with bombs can be ...

This game is a bit like Driver (take a look at my other review for driver!) in where you complete missions for gangsters. This game however allows you to jump into any car you see going past you! Buses, trucks, you name it, you can nick it and drive it. All the vehicles have their own sounds and different characteristics. Like you’ll get excellent handling out of some of the nice sports cars and you’ll be able to whizz round sharp corners at high ...
...more damage inflicted if you crash. The big school buses will take ages to pull away and then they have the worst handling, so don’t expect to be zooming round corners, but, you can’t damage them as easy, so if police are on your tail and running into you, they are going to blow up first! The game involves you doing missions in various cities, you then move through the game as you complete these missions. Police will chase after you if you have nicked ...

GTA can be summed up in two words, addictive and funny. It has so many querks such as pedestrians insulting you as you attempt to mow them down in your speeding car. It is very addictive! You can play the game two different ways - you can follow the missions and be a reasonably good boy. This can be fun but some of the missions can be tedious and as the view is not exactly the best I've seen, they can also be difficult. The alternative is what most ...
...and hi-jacking cars whilst trying to evade the intelligent police. The police are quite intelligent on GTA, although they seem to be much more educated on the second version. The police try ramming as a method of pulling you other even if it means commiting suicide by blowing up their own car! GTA overall is a fantastic game with brilliant and suitable sound fx/music and reasonable graphics although the view could be better although then again it ...

Okay... so this GTA is brutal, has no moral value and probably will corrupt the less stable. The plus side you ask? This game is fun! You can mow down pedestrians, can steal or blow up anything you wish (with weapons like pistols, machine guns, flamethrowers and missile launchers) and if you can "talk" a cop out of parting with his squad car, you have one fastest vehicles in the game to do it with! The whole story of this game? Well, you work for ...
...Everything from whacking the D.A. to planting car bombs to getting "the stuff" from a rival gang. Just be careful, one too many felonies and the police are hunting you down (and if you really tick them off, they set up road-blocks and can blow up your car if you take too many hits) This game is a little excessive in the language department, but it only adds to the realism (which there isn't a lot of... most police officers don't carry automatic weapons ...
