 This game is great fun and full of surprises. Jul 27, 1999
GTA is the most fun you can have with a video game without your kids. It is definitely a game with adult entertainment in mind. Children under 18 should not be playing this game without parental supervision. It is not for the squeemish. Do not take the game seriously, it is fantasy not reality. It is a game with a sense of humor, and that is all that is required of those who dare take on the challenge of GTA. So, get out there and jack a few cars, run over pedestrians and waste anyone that gets in your way. Above all, HAVE FUN!

The streets is a dirty, dirty way of life... May 12, 2003
By Samario C. Oliver
and you just became part of it.
Pros:
Brought violence and profanity in videogames to a whole new level
Very good sound effects
long enjoyable levels and misions
A short, but destructable arsenoal
Very useful cheat codes(Despit I usally don't cheat)
Pretty good music
Cons:
The graphics are plain out horrible
one shot death(A bit too realistic)well, unless you have armor
Can't save until you beat a level
definitly not for kids
The game suffers from slowdowns, if too many things are on the screenIn 98 this game was jst a instant classic, despite being overshadowed by loads of games(especially Metal Gear Solid, and Zelda:Ocorina of time). It's definitly unknown since GTA 3 and Vice City overshadowed it by a loooong mile, but yet I still play this game from time to time. In this game you could even say ... the police and let them eat the gat, take out a squad of them with a machine gun, blaze them up with a flame thrower, or just blow them away with almighty rocket launcher(That was propably the main reason this game got a lot of heat form contaversy). If you're used to GTA 3 or Vice City, then this game will hardly be interesting to you, but if you have this game, then I'm sure you appreciate the joy the classic burng to you, and took you on the crazy ride from this, all the way to vice city. Final Words:Speaking of Vice City, That was one of the levels in this game, and so was liberty City, and San Anderess is the last city. Could San Andress be the next Grand Theft Auto? Hmmmm... peace

what better way to break the law than a video game! Oct 01, 2000
Grand Theft Auto is an awesome game in my opinion. The graphics arent as great as some of the new games on playstation, but it is still a lot of fun! You can CarJack, shoot the innocent, kill police officers, get arrested, cuss at people you dont even know, and great stuff like that! NO LIMITS! This is a definatley buyer!

GTA is one of the best games for the PSX that I've played Dec 19, 1998
This game is so fun. You hi-jack cars, trucks, motorcycles, even cop cars. W/ the "Kill Frenzy", this game could keep you at the edge of your seat for hours upon hours. It's just too bad that you can't play two players, or if it was 3D, but the graphics are one of the cool parts. Enjoy!!! :)

In it's time, it was an underground classic Dec 13, 2002
By N. Durham
"Big Evil"
The original Grand Theft Auto was a classic for the PC, but it's gleefully unabashed violence, simple graphics, dark humor, and addictive gameplay garnered the game much appeal and controversy. Eventually Take 2 Interactive (now they're called Rockstar) published GTA on as many systems as it could: the PS1, Dreamcast, and even the Game Boy Color. These days anyone and everyone are GTA nuts, but only when it comes to GTA 3 or Vice City. The original GTA may seem simple enough, but it is undeniably fun for the most part, no matter how simplistic the graphics seem. The missions can get rather tedious, and the fact you can't save your progress in game (a problem which would be corrected in GTA 3), and eventually you'll lose interest, but for the most part the original GTA is still loads of fun. Those who have only played GTA 3 or Vice City will not like this original installment, but it's a great ride while it lasts.
