Game description:
One of the biggest games in Europe last year Grand Theft Auto never made
much of a splash in the United States, part in thanks to a delayed
release by its US publisher, ASC Games.
But the game was controversial in Europe, sparking a predictable outcry
from UK newspapers, and just this week a number of French retailers have
begun pulling it from shelves. Why? Because of the games criminal
content the name of the game is stealing cars, running over pedestrians,
and acting as a courier for the mob.
The feel of the game is a bit retro, having the top-down look of a Micro
Machines or Death Rally. But sometimes simpler is better, and GTAs
combination of fast-paced arcade action, a living, breathing virtual city
(your car thefts will be complicated by traffic and pedestrians and the
citys watchful police), and the ability to get in and out of different
vehicles made for a smartly tight game.
So its not surprising that Grand Theft Auto has earned not only a
sequel Grand Theft Auto 2 but also an expansion pack, called Grand Theft
Auto London 1969.
The expansion pack is a pretty basic, no frills affair: the same basic
engine and gameplay are included, though theres also a brand new
setting, thirty new missions, new cars, and a hopping new soundtrack.
Whats new is the setting instead of the gritty streets of contemporary
New York, the add-on goes off into London of the 1960s. Austin Powers,
here we come.
Working for the British mob, youll run errands for such crimelords as
Harold Cartwright, Jack Parkinson, and two obnoxious Cockneys, the Crisp
Brothers. Vehicles of choice this time will range from a convertible
sports car (painted like the Union Jack, baby) to stretch limos and the
old-fashioned London taxis.
