Grand Theft Auto 2

If you've lived a life that's full, travelling each and every highway, it's still likely you haven't yet done it your way, until you play Grand Theft Auto. The game that made its fame by letting you run down pedestrians and shoot innocent bystanders has returned with better graphics and amazing improvements to the multitude of sound effects.

Here's the lowdown--you're trying to impress low-life, underworld crime bosses and you have to do their dirty work in any way you can. This includes killing people, stealing cars, throwing bombs, inciting mayhem, and belching at passers-by. But the best part of this game comes once you start a carjacking. The new edition boasts better graphics for these escapades, but there is still something to be said for the pixellated pleasure of the first GTA.
