Grand Theft Auto, the game that started it all. Who would have guessed that it would of came this far all that time back then. Well rockstar maybe had an idea it would, but i bet they never thought it would be as succesful as it is this current day.

I rented this game for playstation when it first came out, and as soon as it was released on pc i bought it. People had very very mixed views on grand theft auto when it was released, but i just looked at it as being a game that was a whole lot of fun to play.

Basically you control a character that undergoes a load of different missions for various people. These missions involve stealing cars, murdering certain people, illegal deals, drugs, weapons crime etc.. so basically your mum's worst nightmares all put together in one. (which is probably why so many mums refused to buy this game for there underage sons ) however at the centre of all this lies a very open boxed game that allows you complete freedom. (to a certain extent) this is one of the many reasons that grand theft auto was so succesful as people loved being able to complete missions any way they wanted, to drive around wherever they wanted and to basically commit any crime they wanted to commit.

The missions were all unique in there own ways which was great fun, and also all the different characters in the game made it feel very open as there was always new people to meet.

This game can be picked up for as little as £2.00 these days in certain places especially ebay so at that price it really is a bargain. If you have never played the original grand theft auto before i recommend you to do so now as it will allow you to see the game that started it all and you will also see why it will never be forgotten.

Summary: A great game even at this day, you have too play it to see why the gta series is so popular
