Grand Theft Auto
Grand Theft Auto places you in the role of a common street thug whose job it is to carry out the will of ruthless crime bosses. Stealing cars and settling drug deals are just some of your dirty tasks as you run, gun, steal, and drive through three different crime-infested cities. Fail and you get cussed out by your superiors. Succeed and you rise through the ranks of the organization, get more respect, and tackle tougher missions. Still, through it all, you play an evil criminal who kills random folks for dishonorable people. This is definitely not a game for kids or the easily insulted.
Grand Theft Auto II
More mischief and mayhem hits your PlayStation in this sequel to the light-hearted parody of criminal life. This sequel to the critically acclaimed Grand Theft Auto lets players take on the role of a young operative working their way up in "The Organization" by running errands, snatching cars, and rubbing out The Family's enemies with up to 120 different vehicles from corporate limos to ice-cream trucks! If fast paced action and wild excitement are your bag, this is the game for you - in fact, it's so good, it just might be illegal!
Grand Theft Auto III
You've been betrayed and left for dead. Now you're taking revenge, unless the city gets you first. Mob bosses need a favor, crooked cops need help, and street gangs want you dead. You'll have to rob, steal, and kill just to stay out of serious trouble. Anything can happen out here. Grand Theft Auto III features a fully 3-D living city, a combination of narrative-driven and nonlinear gameplay, and a completely open environment.
Players are put at the heart of their very own gangster movie, in which anything can happen and probably will. With a cast of hundreds, 50-plus vehicles--including sports cars, ice-cream trucks, boats, and buses--three hours of music, (including opera, reggae, house, drum and bass, pop, and disco), a huge array of street-ready weapons, and some of the seediest characters in video game history, Grand Theft Auto III is a sprawling epic that will show you that sometimes crime can pay, and that sometimes it pays you back.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
Welcome to Vice City. Welcome to the 1980s.
Having just made it back onto the streets of Liberty City after a long stretch in maximum security, Tommy Vercetti is sent to Vice City by his old boss, Sonny Forelli. They were understandably nervous about his reappearance in Liberty City, so a trip down south seemed like a good idea. But all does not go smoothly upon his arrival in the glamorous, hedonistic metropolis of Vice City. He gets set up and is left with no money and no merchandise. Sonny wants his money back, but the biker gangs, Cuban gangsters, and corrupt politicians stand in his way. Most of Vice City seems to want Tommy dead. His only answer is to fight back and take over the city himself.
From the decade of big hair, excess, and pastel suits comes a story of one man's rise to the top of the criminal pile as Grand Theft Auto returns to the PlayStation2. Vice City is a huge urban sprawl--ranging from the beach to the swamps and from the glitz to the ghetto--and the most varied, complete, and alive digital city ever created. Combining nonlinear gameplay with a character-driven narrative, the game plops you into a town brimming with delights and degradation, where you are given the opportunity to take it over as you choose.
As a major gateway to South America and the Caribbean and for attracting migrants, Vice City is brimming with diverse characters, so there's a friend for everyone. It is a sociable place, and the new guy in town is sure to meet all manner of friendly people in the sunshine capital of America. Athletes, pop stars, real estate developers, politicians, trailer trash--everyone is moving to Vice City to find out what makes it the number one growth city in America. But, as Tommy quickly finds out, trust is still the rarest of commodities.
Vice City offers vehicular pleasures to suit every taste. For the speed enthusiast, there are high-performance cars and motorbikes. For the sporty type, a powerboat or golf cart lets you enjoy the great outdoors. For those needing that sense of freedom and escape, why not charter a helicopter and see the beauty of Vice City from the air?
As all this happens in the party capital of America, you'd expect your ears to be seduced by a host of sultry melodies and pumping beats, but the city is truly rocking. You'll be amazed as you sweep through Vice City's FM dial. If you are feeling like trouble, you can tune into some driving rock, or some crucial electro, or maybe you want to slow down with some sweet soul, and there will always be some great romantic anthems if you want to really take your mind off things. For the action man or outdoors type, there are tons of fun things to do and adventures to be had--guaranteed. For the secretive or creepy type, Vice City is full of surprises, a place where you'll be constantly surprised by the vivacious, fun-loving types who live there and the things you can discover.
