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.
GTA RULES!!!!!

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.
#$%@, DOES THIS GAME SUCK!

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.
Yeehaw!

Fun Fun Fun! This game rocks! I'm a big GTA fan and this is a exceptional game. One thing. It should probably be rated "M."
Don't get your kids this game. It's way to violent. It is a good game though. Great graphics, great plot, great missions. I would reccomend it to anyone over fourteen years of age.
uh okay

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.
A fun game, but a little gets lost.

Grand Theft Auto was a great game on other consoles. To try and squeeze this on to GBC was very hard, and thus the translation suffers. First, actually stealing a moving car is too hard. You will occasionally find one that is parked, but it is a pain. And Second, the game lacks any of the real blood, gore, or cursing that made it stand out otherwise. However, there is still a great driving game underneath. Fast speeds, good music, and exciting missions make it always fun. There is also an arrow, which points you where you need to go. This is always very helpful. Joyriding is great, as none of the game is timed. Missions are always optional, and there are many to choose from. You get to play in three diverse cities: Liberty City, Vice City, and San Andreas. Everything made it over from the PS One great, and this is an great game. Buy this for the driving, not for the edgy content the PS One version had.
