  • A Bad View Of Some Wickedly Cool Violence.

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 14, 2001
    Pros: Fast-paced action.
    Cons: That horrid bird's eye view.

    Summary: The idea of allowing your children to steal cars, work for the city’s crime lords, and outrun the police is ridiculous, isn’t it? Not if they’re playing ever-popular Grand Theft Auto for the Sony PlayStation gaming console! This game was ... read more

    Nov 29, 2001
    Pros: Decent (yet simple) graphics, fun gameplay, enormous playability
    Cons: Some minor issues, slowdown in multiplay (or none at all)

    Summary: [edit] Finally Epinions have added GTA3 to their database, so I'll cut the GTA3 bit from here and put it over there. Continuing on: [end edit] GRAND THEFT AUTO A criminal for hire, free in an enormous city, with plenty of cars to ... read more

    Nov 21, 2001
    Pros: Variety, Music, Game play, FOUL LANGUAGE!,
    Cons: NONE

    Summary: This game tames that primal portion of your brain that makes you wanna kill! Run over cops, pedestrians, and crash into everyone. You will find yourself racing against a clock to rescue some chick, or to blow up a police station, or even asassinate some ... read more

  • Let's shoot some cops

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jun 25, 2001
    Pros: There might be a game in there somewhere
    Cons: Stealing, killing,...

    Summary: First let me state that this review will mostly concern the game genre, instead of the gameplay itself. My 7-year-old son just got himself a new playstation game, that he called "GTA". It was supposedly something with cars, so I figured it ... read more

  • A Strange (But Fun) Little Game

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jun 15, 2001
    Pros: Oddly Addictive
    Cons: Not Much Replay Value, Bad Graphics And Sound

    Summary: It's not often that a game can be hamstrung by having horrible graphics, bad sound, minimal plot details and clunky controls, and still manage to be fun. Grand Theft Auto pulls off this miraculous feat somehow, and proves to be more than the sum of its ... read more

    Dec 28, 2000
    Pros: fun gameplay
    Cons: Bad graphics

    Summary: This is a great game. When I first got it I could not put it down. You start off with a car and can either drive around and do missions or drive through town reeking havoc. You can beat the levels by either finding a set amount of secrets, getting a set ... read more

  • Lastability???

    Dec 9, 2000
    Pros: great stress reliever
    Cons: influences children?

    Summary: Grand Theft Auto by DMA is the game where you get to go around shooting and driving people down, as well as stealing cars all while performing tasks for the gangsters. Criticised for its content the game does involve many things that would be illegal in ... read more

    Oct 17, 2000
    Pros: birds eye view, controls are up to speed
    Cons: can get very slow, with too much action

    Summary: GTA was recommended to me by a friend. As soon as I got home, well thats where I stayed for about 2 days. I mean the action is so intense, with having a more than entertaining, and yet challenging setting for each of the levels, ... read more

  • Grand Theft Auto hijacked my brain

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 16, 2000
    Pros: Very amusing, fast-paced, blowing things up is always fun
    Cons: People think you're a sadist if you like it (especially if you're a girl)

    Summary: Violent video games are destroying our society. The blame for all these recent school shootings is to be placed entirely on the video game industry. Next thing you know, some 10-year-old kid's gonna hijack his dad's car and drive it to school, then ... read more

  • A very under appreciated game--Grand Theft Auto

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 12, 2000
    Pros: Lots of variety. Can be fun if you want it to be.
    Cons: Can also be boring. Bad graphics, sound, control, etc, etc.

    Summary: As a gamer, I am constantly perplexed by three questions: 1) how can anyone love a game like Metal Gear Solid? 2) How can any levelheaded person prefer the PlayStation controller to the Nintendo 64's? And lastly, why does everybody despise Grand Theft ... read more

    Pros: it's sexy it's vulgar it's rude like a good rock album

    Jul 25, 2000
    Pros: Chases
    Cons: Missions too samey

    Summary: There was a lot of criticism about this game when it was released, mainly by the tabloids in an attempt to gain readers by calling for it to be banned. The subject matter is a little dubious to say the least, the idea of the game is to steal ... read more

    Jun 28, 2000
    Pros: Great sound and fun to play
    Cons: Top view makes it where you can't see

    Summary: Yes, that's a quote directly from Grand Theft Auto a Take - Two interactive game. In Grand Theft Auto you are a car jacking low life doing mob jobs for points to advance to a higher level. This game has a top view that does not allow you to ... read more

  • Battle of the series: The Grand Theft Auto 3 way brawl

    May 31, 2000
    Pros: Can be very fun to play
    Cons: Graphics, slowdown, controls

    Summary: Before I get into the details, I would like to inform any reader that this is not an opinion of Grand Theft Auto alone. It compares the three games in the series: Grand Theft Auto(GTA for short), GTA:London 1969, and GTA 2. All of which were made ... read more

    May 26, 2000
    Pros: Origional is better, best game for a good time where you just wanna mess around
    Cons: not enough weapons, police are weak

    Summary: Even after playing GTA2, I still love Grand theft auto just as much. It is unlike any other game you've played before. The AI is great, although not as advanced as the sequal, it's still amazing. I found the storyline a little strange and hard ... read more

    May 12, 2000
    Pros: people are squishy & great soundtrack
    Cons: not a game you can play over and over...but would be good still after a long break

    Summary: GRAND THEFT AUTO: i decided to get this game since, at the time, there was sooo much controversy over the ethics displayed through the game, hence none. So, i decided what the heck, it's free for me since i used work returns at the local TARGET. I ... read more

  • Addictive stuff with OLD school graphics

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 11, 2000
    Pros: Great addictive gameplay
    Cons: Outdated graphics, no voice acting

    Summary: At first, this game is a bit of a turnoff. No voice acting, and graphics that date back to the Nintendo era. Actually, it's wonderfully addictive and gives you an amazing rush. Something about being able to outrun the cops, run down some pedestrians, ... read more

    Pros: Unique game, music is good.
    Cons: bad graphics, boring plot, overall dull game.

    Summary: The idea of being a criminal and stealing cars in a game seemed really appealing, so i rushed out and picked up Grand Theft Auto, well as soon as i put it in and the game got going i was saying to myself.. Wow this is a great game, then about 5 mins ... read more
