one very important thing to remember is that they couldn't put many cars in this game. you're lucky if you see more than 4 cars at once on the same screen. it's also very hard to get a car, even if it's parked, because it's so hard to get in one. also, it's rare to see even a single person walking the streets, unless it's part of a mission. I normally just play to maul hundreds of people walking the streets, but I had alot of fun just trying the missions.

This is a very good quality game. Anyone who likes Bond movies would like this game a lot.
One of the most pathetic games for GBC

I can't believe people are reviewing this game favorably here! Are standards THAT low?
First there is the control problem. Um, ok, I love having the ability to get the player I'm controlling stuck to the point were I have to quit the game because there is no way to maneuver. Also, is was PAINFUL to try and even get into the cars.
Second, the game is just BORING. Nothing like the PC game which was a lot of fun. No, I wasn't expecting the PC version, but the gameplay is plain horrible.
Save your money, don't buy this game.
Tedious control---come and get it

This game should've been one of the best...too bad the control wrecks it. The graphics are okay; nothing to get too happy about.
In the first few moments you will find yourself trying to control the little guy while your pager keeps scrolling strange messages. Once you get the hang of the movements, the game does get somewhat better. It is cool running over pedestrians and killing cops automatic weapons, but there isn't much more to it.
Oh, where is all this foul language I keep hearing about? I got ripped off I guess; mine is clean. Darn.
IS IT WORST,BETTER OR THE SAME AS DRIVER ON GBC.

Yes, yes, GTA is a great series of games; just not the GameBoy versions.
First, the city you're in must be some post-apocalyptic place where everone has died, because THERE ARE NO CARS ANYWHERE! THERE ARE NO PEOPLE ANYWHERE! How can you carjack and kill without cars or people?
Second, the play control is TERRIBLE. I... I can't go on... it's just too horrible.
Buy the PC or PS versions, but not this. You will cry.

This game is not worth your time. Although the city in the gameboy version is the same huge city in the PC verison, the game falls way short of Grand Theft Auto's good name. The graphics are decent and no compliants from that part of the game, but the overall game play is lacking. It is quite common for you to walk down a mainstreet and not see a car for miles. The police rarely come after you. I've had four cop heads one me(means I was a bad bad boy) and been able to walk around town without a cop ever coming after me. The steering system in cars is very poor and hard to turn. When you turn your car it looks cheesy and very unrealistic. I would not recommend you buy this game.
Crap adaptation of the first in the series.

This game is a bare-bones adaptation of the first GTA which was released for PS and PC. The PC version had some wonky controls regarding turning, but the GBC has problems getting you to even WALK, let alone everything else. The cites are outright barren, you'll be lucky if you ever see another car and even if you do, you don't jack that car, you just hop right in. The police, your constant enmies don't chase so much as they just appear from nowhere and instantly capture you. Seirously, this "game" feels more like an Alpha-test build of GTA 1 than an actual game. Plus, Rockstar now has released GTA 1 for the PC as freeware, so why pay for such a sub-par adapatation? If you must have GTA to go, check out the new GBA version which not only has it's own story, but actually plays like a finished GTA game.
Tried....But alil more work could have make this game better
