![]() There are three cities, Liberty City (New York based), Vice City (Miami based) and San Andreas (California based), and each city has two levels, with a total of six (MATHS!), and the objective of each level is to make a certain amount of cash. Aiming the gun is pressing the fire button while holding the direction you want to shoot in. The screen pans out when you, say, drive really fast, but even then you’ll often crash into things due to not being able to see what’s coming up next. The game is presented in a top down POV, your character is a head and shoulders, with arms and legs appearing as you shoot or walk, respectively. You wait around for ages to shoot a bus, and then two come along at once… The future billion dollar company Rockstar, then known as DMA design, released the game amid a small bit of controversy (no where near as much as later in the series’ life!) due to the simple fact that this was among the first, if not THE first game where you controlled a bad guy, a criminal, and you objective was to simply make cash anyway you wanted. They later added in police chasing, then someone said “who wants to play as the cop? It’s far more fun to play as the robber”, or words to those effect, and it spiralled from there. The game was originally known as Race n’ Chase while in development, and had a more 3D rendered look to it, with the idea “to produce a fun, addictive and fast multi-player car racing and crashing game which uses a novel graphics method”. ![]() Grand Theft Auto was released in the US in October 1997 for the PC, then ported to the Playstation and released on December 14th 1997 in the UK, a full six months before the PS1 port arrived in the states. I hope to grab my own screens in the future, be it with a working ISO or via some sort of screen capture software, if I ever make it to that kind of professionalism!) With that out the way, let’s get started on the original GTA for the PS1! (NOTE: I was unable to find a working ROM, or ISO, of this game for screenshot purposes, so I’ve had to borrow some from GameFAQs. When the character runs out of lives, you will have to replay that stage from the first level.With long game series’ like GTA (Resident Evil, Metal Gear and Dragon Ball games are the other three that spring to mind) I will be starting at the earliest entry in the series I played (in most cases it’s the first one) and moving up in order, but not every other review like the wrestling game countdown. If the character is not equipped with armor, the character will die instantly when hit by an enemy attack. In addition, characters will also be attacked by others. However, the bonus multiplier will be halved if the player lets a character be captured by the police. If you want to earn the points needed to complete a level quickly, then choose some easy tasks to give the highest multiplier. Crimes in the game include destroying the city’s traffic balance, stealing cars to sell for profit, and murder. Players can earn reward points by doing illegal things. The abilities of the characters are similar, only the difference in their appearance: their clothing, skin color and hair. In fact, all 8 characters are not much different. Players can optionally control one of the game’s eight characters including Troy, Bubba, Ulrika, Katie, Kivlov, Travis, Divine, and Mikki. The next stage will be unlocked when the player accumulates the required number of bonus points. When a person completes consecutive quests, the bonus points will increase exponentially for completing other quests. ![]() If too many missions cannot be completed, the game will end. If the player does not complete the task, the player will receive fewer bonus points. ![]() You will also unlock harder missions and get higher rewards. These scores are usually achieved by completing the missions given by the criminal organizations corresponding to a level.Īfter completing the assigned task, players will receive a certain number of bonus points corresponding to the difficulty of the task. The goal of each stage is to reach the required number of points. ![]() Each stage is divided into levels with increasing difficulty. There are 6 stages in the game and divided equally among 3 cities. Local officials are corrupt, organized theft and brawls between gangs are everywhere. All three cities are full of dangers and crimes. The game is set in three major US cities: New York City, Miami City, and San Francisco. Grand Theft Auto is an adventure action game released by BMG Interactive for PlayStation in 1998. ![]()
