Summary
Grand Theft Auto has acquired its title with very good reason. The game is essentially all about theft and automobiles; a very controversial subject that has attracted the BBFC, along with the rest of the media. Any kind of media attention, be it good or bad, will drive the sales of Grand Theft Auto. With a BBFC 18 certificate, this nasty little piece of software will get the attention it deserves.
Respect is everything in this game. You are amongst seven gangs in a brutal power struggle, and your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to work your way to the top of the crime ladder. This can be accomplished by completing tasks and avoiding the police, thus earning respect from your seniors. There are literally hundreds of missions to challenge your crime abilities. Transport within these missions is of vital importance, so vehicles such as corporate Limousines and ice cream trucks have been provided to aid you.
The nature of Grand Theft Auto is not the only attractive attribute of this game. The game’s concept, along with a huge number of crime-related missions shows how the developers can turn any subject into an enjoyable playing experience.
