OK thats enough of that crap
So, Im here to present to you Grand Theft Auto, a game where all u basically do is kill people and steal cars.
You are basically a small man working for a gang answering payphones and doing missions you are assigned to earn some
money.
Everything from stealing cars, to killing people, killing cobs, making deliveries and pickups, and just about anything
you can think of that is illegal.
Graphics are pretty dull at most, obviously needing more attention then they were given.
There is a decent variety of vehicles to steal and drive (Tankers and school busses are a personal favorite). Bikes are
good if you can handle them but your ride is over if you as much as graze another vehicle, and cop cars are just insanely
fast
Game-play is also good with a large variety of missions and the car chases are great, and if that doesnt get your attention
enough, going on KILL FRENZIES is always a fun and great way to build points up.
The controls are a bit confusing but are able to learn quickly to get on your way.
The variety of missions is great, and most missions can be done in any amount of time you want, and with weapons from
pistols and machineguns to flamethrowers and missile launchers, I think anyone who doesnt love barney and share his values
can enjoy this game greatly.
The Negatives would be that just about every mission done involves the cops being alerted from murdering other criminals
to bank robberies, or even something as simple as stealing a few cars. In one case this can be very annoying.
The AI in this game can be AMAZINGLY stupid at times as well, with cops running in circles around cars with you, and cop
cars speeding so fast they blow themselves up when they hit something. Of course naturally that alerts more cops and adds
more cops to pursue you.
Being caught or killed will end any mission you were doing in failure (so dont screw up).
The game is repeats a lot. Steal this. Kill him. Kill them.
The graphics are very poor compared to games of its time
You cant save until you either get game over or complete the level
Ultimately I think this game has some good replay value, but if youre not a real hardcore killer you may want to skip
this game.
