Grand Theft Auto (PC)

A far cry from the big budget, visually impressive GTA games of today, the original Grand Theft Auto is a very simplistic top-down affair with basic, 2d graphics that relies on addictive, arcade-style gameplay and responsive controls. Its very easy to pick up and play and is game that has dated very little, both because its gameplay is so straightorward and enjoyable and also due to the fact that its visuals were nothing particularly special even when it first came out back in 1998.

Grand Theft Auto, often abbreviated "GTA", is a video game released to the personal computer in 1997 by BMG Interactive.

When I was 16 and I wanted my mum to by me this game(as I was two years underage).She looked at the case and said "let me see, Grand - good, theft - stealing, Auto - cars. This game is implying that it is good to steal cars, so therefore you are not having it". I was very upset buy this and got really upset and just moped around sulking. But anyway three years on I got this game from electronics boutique for a five pounds. Enough talk here is my review on it. The basic idea of the game is to steal cars, run people over, blow things up and complete missions. To aid you in this you have a big choice of characters.
