About the Game
Lie, cheat, and steal your way through three districts of a huge city in the follow-up to Grand Theft Auto . Earn the respect of 7 different gangs as you demolish the town in your attempt to make lots of cash. The game takes place at an undisclosed time in the near future.
Gameplay & Core Systems
Like in the original players go around answering phones to initiate various missions. The game uses an overhead camera in a 3D landscape and allows players to freely explore the city and steal any vehicle players sets his or her eyes on. To unlock new districts players must reach a certain score which is done by committing crimes and finishing missions. Because the game now features multiple criminal gangs, players must choose allegiances. When players commits crimes he also becomes wanted by the local police, but as more crimes are committed without shaking the police, they will give way for first SWAT Teams, then Special Agents and finally the army.
Standout Features
- Unlike the first game which featured three different cities, Grand Theft Auto 2 only features a single town, but it's divided in three districts which are unlocked one at a time: downtown, residential and industrial.
- New features include the ability to save at the church, when donating enough money, and various side missions, such as becoming a taxi driver to earn money.
- There are also many new cars with weapons attached such as a firetruck with a flamethrower and a car with machine guns.
- On the PC version players can change the time of day from noon to dusk to allow for more moody lighting.
- PlayStation: On the PlayStation the game can only be played at noon, and on the Dreamcast only at dusk.
