What Is Grand Theft Auto?
Grand Theft Auto is a game for the PC and the Playstation developed by DMA Design and published by ASC Games in North America and BMG Interactive in Europe. Your goal through the game is rise through the ranks of the criminal element which you attempt to achieve by stealing cars, running narcotics, performing hits, kidnapping, and other criminal acts. The game is viewed from the top down with a camera that zooms in and out depending on the surroundings and the situation. All of this action takes place in 3 huge cities (Liberty City, Vice City, and San Andreas). Each city has its own personality and the authorities will react differently to your actions. Each of the cities is quite large and to expedite your mission you can either use the public transportation available, or simply steal a car which is a lot quicker and a hell of a lot more fun.
