when i first got this game on the pc, i thought it was one of the best games i had played in a long time. it had everything a young adult wanted: mob killings, drug traffiking, hold-ups, hijacking, hit and run, and of course murder one. unfortunately, i had to sell my pc, so i got grand theft auto for the playstation. i found that it had lost nothing from the transition from the pc to the playstation. it still had the mob killings, hit & run and murder one, but it still kept it's amazing musical score, including the amazing "Grand Theft Auto". not only this, but it has an amazing range of cars that you can steal, which is basically the point of the game: the bulldog, the penetrator, the tanker and the amazing tank, complete with firing turret! the basic story of the game is this. you start as a lowly street punk, stealing cars to make some cash. as you progress the HUGE levels, you climb through the ranks of organised crime, making friends in high places. although the game is free range, there are missions which you can undertake by visiting the various payphones scattered around the cities. these missions range from being a getaway driver to hijacking a fuel tanker, fitting a bomb to it and parking it outside the headquarters of a rival gang. the only trouble is that it does suffer from slow-down if you are doing too mqany things at once. for example if you are tailing a car with a four cop rating. but this minor imperfection aside, this still remains a classic... My advice is simple: BUY THIS NOW, KAPISH?!

This game is one of the all time greats made by the people at Sony, the idea of this game is to ride around the backstreets commit crimes to get cash (and points) without getting "Busted" or "Wasted". Due to the immense popularity of this game a sequel, fittingly named GTA2 hit the streets, the 1st edition is essential to play the 2nd. This game involves stealing nice motors in order to avoid the cops. You will find you spend most of your time completing missions for cash. This involves relatively simple gameplay and the control of your character is also very easy. Unfortunaely the only flaw with this game, is that you can't progress anywhere, the whole game is based around the same city, but the city is very large and believe me even though it is only one level you won't find yourself bored with this timeless classic that I keep going back to. Much better than the spin-offs.

By today's standards, this is a very simple and unexciting game, but when it came out it was revolutionary. Previous to GTA, games were either a driving game or a shooting game or an adventure game. The idea that you could drive one car for a while, spot another one you liked and just take it was something new and exciting. Games generally didn't let you have total freedom to roam wherever you liked. GTA changed everything.
