I like the story behind Grand Theft Auto. It's a fun concept to play a game where you carjack and kill people. I sort of keeps you sane by letting you run over them cops in a game so you wont have to do it in real life. The controls are a little weird because they are based on which way you are facing instead of the screen. I got comfortable with the controls pretty fast though. I love the huge cities to explore, that's a def plus. I would recommend this game, you'll like it.
Is this game your type ?

Well would you like to know what this is game is all about ? If yes then read this review if you wouldn't then don't read this review. Gta2 is a driving, shooting, killing, Breaking the law kind of game. If you like games with action and strategy like rogue spear and swat3. Then get this. If you like games with hardcore driving like, Need for speed then also get this game. If you just want to have some fun also get this game. First as soon as I got it I tought it was pretty stupid. But then I realized what you can do in it, I thought is was pretty awesome. Because every single day of your life you can do something new!!!!!! So Let Me Ask You A Question. Do you deserve this game ?
"GTA2" the best game for computers

I bought this game because I loved GTA 3. GTA 2 was a big disappointment, and here's why:
1) The cars and character are hard to control
2) The graphics are reminiscent of 80's arcade games (like APB, only APB was more fun)
3) When you start going fast, the view zooms out (this is very disorienting)
4) Often you can't see your character/car because it's blocked by a building
5) The view is from directly overhead; when you turn, your character/car turns, not the world (i.e. if you're pointing south, left is right, right is left; if pointing west, right is up, left is down, etc.)
6) Everyone else in the game world is stupid - people run out in front of cars, cars run into you for no apparent reason. And there are way too many of them.
7) It costs money to save the game (or at least it does the first time; I wouldn't know - I couldn't stand playing it long enough to earn enough money to save)
To it's credit, the music and commercials are fun, like in GTA 3 (hardly a reason to buy it, though). I would only recommend this game if you see it in the bargain bin and you are really bored. Other people seem to have loved this game - personally I don't see it. Don't bother with this game - get GTA 3 and/or GTA Vice City instead.
You aren`t going to buy this, right?

To be a PC game I would expect it to be like in the xbox, I mean that you could see the person and you could see the things in the way that the character sees them. This is just as PS1 and that`s not such a good console...

I did not really like this game. I liked it very much the first 2 hours but then it got very boring. The graphics are terrable compared to games of today and there isint much of a storyline behind the game. The law enforcement gets on you for every crime you commit but some NPC can steal a car right in front of the cops and they wouldint care. They are really annoying. You have to use up alot of cash to save a game and I also find that everyone I meet cusses at me which is annoying too. The biggest problem of this game is it is incredibly hard to find your way to the church, automotive repair center, etc. And when your not playing and you're just in the play game, quit, options menu they put up these pictures of people looking at you with guns or something just to take up space its really stupid.
I dont think you will like this game

Its fun for the first 5 hours but it gets really boring really fast. The graphics are poor and theres no real plot or storyline to it. Its very annoying to have cops on your tail and its really hard to get the the next level. The entire game is filled with pointless pictures of people pointing guns at you just to fill up space. Its a pretty cheap.
Great

Yes, I am under the impression that this game had a lot of time that was worked on it by the makers. It is very fun and will probbly never get old because of the many missions that you can accomplish. If you don't feel like doing the missions, then you can go on an all out killing spree and stealing cars. This game is cool.
