THE GOOD:
The game is original and fun to play. The creators really took a risk making this game, forfeiting many reegular game features so that they could add the revolutionising features of their own.

THE BAD:
The game is extremely difficult, maybe too difficult in the later levels. This is contributed by the lack of saving opurtunities.

SUMMARY:
I loved this game! Free roaming and action-packed, filled with tonnes of surprises around every corner, laced with an amazingly OTT gangster storyline and colourful graphics; what more could you ask for? Remember, this was the first game, to my knowledge, of its type. The features were incredible as well, one minute your car jacking some dude who hasn't paid for their daily dose of Class C drugs and the next, your on your way to kidnap the President's second cousin whilst armed with a rocket launcher or something crazy like that. I think the storyline could have been made more substantial than it...

THE GOOD:
Amazing amounts of freedom in the game
Brilliantly violent
One mission copied directly from the film 'Speed'
Trading cars for money

THE BAD:
Graphically not the best, even when it was released

SUMMARY:
This game is pretty basic by today's standards but it was pretty addictive and spawned one of the best and most controversial game series to date. In this game you controlled a character and basically had to get to a total of money to advance to the next level. The fastest way to do it was to complete certain missions for which you would get a pay off. The missions could be anything from moving a vehicle somewhere to blowing up a lot of stuff. This game was released for the Playstation and the PC.

The view in this game is always top down, such as the processing power that was available when this game was released. Pretty much the first thing I did was to car-jack someone and drive off. Grand Theft Auto is the name of an...

THE GOOD:
No limitations,open driving and vechiles,action,the best game for its time.

THE BAD:
Age rated at 18 whats the point theres hardly enything in there at 18 level, i think it should be a 15, the graphics isn't the best but its an old game so what do u expect.

SUMMARY:
This game has inspired the whole grand theft auto range so it can't be bad at all, it was my favourite game when it first came out it ruled. You can go where you want, kill who you want and blow up what you want. This game has all the classic car chases, the main aim of the game is to complete missions so that your gang can take over the place befor the other gangs. you can complete your missions using any means nessecary, even stealing emergancy services vechiles and going on the run.
I don't like the birds eye veiw very much but it has such good game play who am I to complain, this game rocks.

thanks for reading my reveiw

THE GOOD:
This has got to be the best ever game made for the Playstation, Grand Theft Auto, one of the greatest games known to man.

THE BAD:
Sure, the graphics arn't all that good, but it is one of the few games where you have absolute freedom, to wonder around, see the sights and ofcourse go on a killing spree.

SUMMARY:
Grand Theft Auto is made up of three citys, you start of in Liberty City in the east of the US , working for the local King Pin, Bald Man Sonetti , then you get moved to San Andreass in the west of the US, doing dirty deeds for the strange El Burro, then it's time to head of to Miami, Florida, where you will be based to work in Vice City in the south, east of the US, there you will do missions for the Rastas, a smooth talking Jamakin gang.

This has to be the best game on Playstation, and is a must have for all you crimanals out there, that's why iv'e got it.

THE GOOD:
EVERYTHING!!
Ability to roam around free
Excellent Missions
Cheat Codes
excellent weapons

THE BAD:
the graphics kind of sucked-don't like bird's eye view much.

SUMMARY:
Although the graphics aren't the best the game still turned out to be the best! What I liked about this game is that it gave you the oppurtunity to roam around causing ciaos(first game to do that) and at the same time you could do over 100 excellent missions to keep you busy for a long time. I also liked how there was cussing in it..everytime i heard a cuss word it made me laugh because you just don't get that kind of stuff out of a game. Even though the game is getting old i would still recommend buying it;) even if it does have bad graphics:-D

i would give this game two thumbs up wayyy up!

THE GOOD:
Grand Theft Auto at its best

THE BAD:
Graphics

SUMMARY:
The very first Grand Theft Auto game which spawned an entire series. Graphics are pretty bad, but the game was made in 1997 so you have to be a little fair. This is like the other GTA games, steal, kill work for money. Anything to improve your rep in the city.

There are 3 cities, and 2 "acts" to each city. They are Liberty City (GTA 3) Vice City (GTA: Vice City) and San Andreas (Next GTA) each one offering different vehicles and missions, along with new surroundings.

Classic game, available for download now, absolutley free from Rockstars website. You must get it.

THE GOOD:
the good thing about this game is the freedom to roam around, collect weapons, steal cars, and kill people and do just about everything you would want to do in real life but wont because you will go to jail or be executed

THE BAD:
the only bad thing about this game is the crappy over head view, it is very hard to react to something when your driving, cause there isnt much room on the screen to show when something gets in your way

SUMMARY:
there are many jobs to be completed for certain bosses, and there is a storyline which is linked in with almost all the missions, most of the jobs you will get are through telephones, but in some cases there are cars sitting around and when you get in them it will trigger a mission. There are also many rampages, or kill frenzies around in this game, kill frenzies are icons with skulls on them, and you can pick them up and you have to kill a certain amount of people in a certain amount of time for a...

I doubt when rock star games first released this game they expected it to sell so well. I also doubt they expected to be making games such as gta3 and gta vice city both of which must have made them millions.

Anyway back to the game at hand. This looks very dated now but it is still as addictive and enjoyable as ever.

This was and still remains one of the most original game concepts ever. You can go around on crime sprees kill random passer byes and generally do things that in real life would land you in the chair or in prison for life.

I remember when I first got this game, me and my cousin spent hours just going around causing as much carnage as possible.

This is a game you can probably pick up very cheaply now and if you can find it anywhere I reccomend you buy it.

THE GOOD:
A highly original game!
Finally, someone makes a game we want to see!
The comedy of the cartoonish brutality involved
The variety of missions.
Very difficult and entertaining
You will crack up!

THE BAD:
sucky controls
top scrolling
difficulty of some of the missions
when the mission is finished, even if you fail it - it's gone for good
not enough weapons just lying around

SUMMARY:
First - let me say - this is the game that started it all. I remember when it came out, my friends and I spent hours, just roaming the environments creating havok. We would laugh and laugh, even though it looked somewhat primitive for the PS, almost as if it would have fit on the old NES.

It was and is still a lot of fun. the missions are very challenging, and you have to get used to the driving, because the timed ones can be extremely aggravating, especially when your liitle cousin loses...
