Hey man, it's the King!
-Claude Speed, the Protagonist of Grand Theft Auto 2

Grand Theft Auto 2 is, without a doubt, one of the funnest games for the PlayStation. Released in 1999, this (somewhat) Open-World Crime Game is (obviously) the sequel to Grand Theft Auto, also on the PlayStation. Even though the improvements over the first one were only slight, they made for one hell of a fun game. Many will probably tell you that this game hasn't aged well, but that's crap. This game is the very pinnacle of fun on the PlayStation. It's assortment of Action, Comedy, and References come together for a thing that can be called near-perfect.

Unlike the later games in the series (sans Chinatown Wars), this one is played from a top-down perspective. The point of the game is to do jobs for various gangs, earning enough cash to proceed to the next level. It's kind of hard for me to describe this game's actual gameplay, so I won't. Besides, you should really experience this game for yourself. If you like retro games (which I'm sure you do), I'm sure you'll enjoy this gem.

One of the coolest things about this game is that it got a short film adaption titled "GTA2: The Movie". I've never seen it myself though.

This was also the first GTA Game I ever played, receiving it in Christmas of 2000. Believe it or not, I still have yet to beat it though.

Also, you may remember me posting something about making a documentary. Don't worry, it's not cancelled. It's just on hold while I look for a new Video Camera.

I spent quite a bit of time playing the first game back in '97-'98. And a few hours playing GTA 2 later on. I did all my playing on the PC. It was so fun running around, grabbing cars....I barely even knew there was a story line to these games. Fun stuff.
