Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Somehow, Take Two Interactive managed to squeeze the controversial Grand Theft Auto into the tiny confines of a Game Boy cartridge. Unfortunately, most of the elements that made this game fun on other systems were lost in the translation.

The basic premise remains intact: you play the role of a hoodlum trying to work your way up the ladder of crime. This is accomplished by committing hundreds of unsavoUry acts, from simple car-jacking to complex missions assigned by the city's crime lords. Eventually the cops become wise to your evil deeds and hunt you down, which adds an extra layer to the gameplay.

The problems with this conversion are numerous. City streets that should be teeming with traffic are mostly bare. It's difficult even to find a car to steal, and actually driving the ungainly beasts is even harder due to poor turning-radiuses and a terrible control scheme. Die-hard fans of the original might like this, but everyone else should opt for the superior PlayStation or PC versions. --T. Byrl Baker

Pros:

Works with original Game Boy
Graphics are decent on Game Boy Color

Cons:

Horrible controls
Car-jacking has never been so difficult

1.0 out of 5 stars Mind-numbingly awful, 9 Aug 2000

By	Chris Russell - See all my reviews

GTA on the PC and Playstation was a great game (even if the sentiment behind was a tad suspect).

Take one villain, scores of car-jacking incidents and a part-time job with the mob, wrap it all up in a top-down mission-based driving game and you've got a fabulous game.

Sadly, whilst this may have been true onthe PC and PS implementations, the GameBoy version is the plague-riddled second cousin who chews with his mouth open and belches in front of granny.

The streets should be teeming with vehicles to steal as the player attempts to complete their mob-related acitivites the problem is, they aren't. It seems to take an age to locate a car before the laborious process of getting in it and driving about begins. Entering the vehicle requires a press of the Select key - never easy at the best of times - which is followed by the tedium of trying to control the flipping thing.

The cars go too fast which means there's no flow to the driving experience and frantic tapping of the speed key is required to keep the thing in motion - poor indeed.

The rest of the game is totally marred by this lack of motor/lousy driving experience making it more a torture than anything else to play, after less than half an hour I wished I'd never started, since then, GTA has never been out of the box.

Avoid this like you'd avoid the second cousin ...
