Grand Theft Auto 2

Back in 2001 I bought a used Playstation from someone I knew for like thirty bucks. It came with a bunch of games. I bought two more -- "The Italian Job" (which I hated) and "Grand Theft Auto 2." My other friend already had a PS2 and we had played "Grand Theft Auto III" on it, and I had hoped the "GTAII" version for original Playstation would at least be fun. I knew the graphics would be terrible, but figured the gameplay would be equal.

Unfortunately, it wasn't. This game is really poor. First of all, as I expected, the graphics are bad. But the gameplay isn't fun at all! The controls and movement are hard and never natural. The entire method of the game is annoying and you can't really do very much at all. In order to save you have to get to the starting point which is quite annoying.

People don't talk in the game, when you get mission instructions there's a static image of a man's face and then this squeaky mumbo-jumbo dialogue that is supposed to substitute for the audio... it just sounds silly and out-of-place.

Overall, this sucks. Get "GTAIII" or "Vice City" or "San Andreas." Skip this.
