Michael_Pilkington Review of Grand Theft Auto 2

Grand Theft Auto 2 (1999 Video Game)

GTA2 is fun, but full of enhancements to the original game.

[6/10 · 31 August 2001]

So-called sequel to "Grand Theft Auto" is fun, but this game is full of enhancements to the original game and that is not necessarily good. There are more missions, more gangs, more weapons, and more cops. The soundtrack is sillier than ever. The Atari 2600-like graphics are only a slight improvement, if not better. The foul language has been toned down a little. Like the previous game, the camera angle looks straight down on the action. The only good thing about this game is that you get complete freedom to do what you want when you want to. As a criminal, you can manipulate gangs by turning them against one another, work for any gang that you feel like working for (as long as you have enough respect that one gang), steal fancy cars and go on a killing spree using heavy artillery. If you love the first game then give "GTA2" a shot but don't expect to see much improvement. My evaluation: 6 out of 10.
