I have been a fan of the Grand Theft Auto Series since the first 3D version came out (Grand Theft Auto 3) on PlayStation 2, I remember buying it and spending a good week or two playing it none stop as I was simply addicted and I’ve never experienced such an interactive and open world game that could knock Mario World 64 out of my top favourite. I have prided myself in become a somewhat expert on all the PlayStation 2 versions of the game, I’ve completed them all multiple times and have been dreadfully close to completing them 100%. My heart did a flip of joy when I heard they were releasing a game on the Seventh Generation Consoles, but then my heart made a dreadful landing when I realised I wouldn’t have the funds to purchase a console in time for its release, so from that day on, it has been a somewhat side goal of mine to get the game and complete it, which I have recently achieved and now will do a somewhat epic review of it.

This review is based around the Xbox360 version of the game, some features or functions may vary slightly, however the games vary very little from my knowledge and therefore this review can apply for both versions.

I will also be comparing the game to the previous version, mainly the feature and functions, so please do excuse the occasional reference if you haven’t had much or no experience with the previous titles.

What is Grand Theft Auto About?

Grand Theft Auto or GTA as it is commonly referred too is an open world sandbox style game, which basically means you’ve got an open city to run around in and do whatever is available to you. GTA take this idea and set up a crime based game, where you are a character who typically has a criminal past and gives you control of him. The game drops you in which you progress by doing missions for people you meet, typically starts of doing missions for a friend or colleague and expands into you meeting a number of wacky and interesting characters, with a fantastic storyline. The game is famous for allowing you to do whatever is available to you, steal cars, beat people up, shot people, and get into trouble with police among other things when you are not in a mission. Due to the all the features and functions and great open world variety, the game has adopted a large audience of all ages (although games are of an 18 certificate).
