Old, but cool [Posted on 2006-03-03]
GTA 1 is a very old game, so anyone should expect realistic grafics nor long and complicated missions, as in the last three GTAs, but it's a game in the same style of the newer GTAs, and fun as well. I indicate the game for anyone for anyone who thinks that a good game is a good game, no matter how old it is.

Play this on PC, the Playstation version is not the full version [Posted on 2006-11-25]
I just wanna review out something no ones said yet.

If you still ever play this game, it is a great game, it's 5 stars, provided your into this sort of thing.

But recently when i played the playstation version, i noticed they jibbed out and didnt include certain things that the PC version and better version had.

First off - There is no train. The PC version has a fully working train that you can hijack and even put into reverse.. sure, it may be useless to crash into another train, but it was entertaining. The PS version doesnt have a train.. but yet, it has the tracks for it, so go figure that one out.

Next, lack of vehicles. The PC version doesnt have spots where cars just disapeer and it feels like your walking around a ghost town.

And something no one can say wouldnt be better... you can edit the PC version, not only can you put whatever car you want into the game by downloading a simple quick device them importing a car you can download or make yourself, but you can also change everything in the game with simmilar tools. You can not just add cars, you can add missions, put more cars into things, edit the exsisting map, or hell, make your own city from scratch.

When I play this game, i like to ride around in Knight Rider, or maybe the General Lee, try and eulude cops driving lambourghinis... gouranga!

Convinced the PC versions better? Makes you feel like the PSX you played was lacking, huh?

A Classic  [Posted on 2007-08-04]
I love the original version of this game! The graphics are lame (I admit it), but it was something I enjoyed playing more than 8 years ago. Unfortunately, I purchased this from a seller here on amazon and received the wrong item. I still don't have a copy, but would love to have one.

My friend and I made a game out of running over people and seeing how long it would take for the police to kill us (I know, not a nice thing to do, but it was funny when I was 13). If you're used to playing the 3-D version, you would hate this.

BARELY PASSABLE 5 OUT OF 10 [Posted on 2007-11-24]
The very first Grand Theft Auto is likely the most forgotten, and for good reasons. Though there is fun to be had in this game, it is marred by one of the worst control schemes I have ever experienced, the top-down camera is awful, and the combat mechanics suck. The graphics are quite ugly as well. The overall presentation is a mess because of poor development skills the development team had apparently. Like I said this title is passable overall, but it is marred by some huge issues which is probably why it's forgotten.

This game had a better Rep than you'd like to think. [Posted on 2008-09-16]
Remember when GTA: III came out? Then Vice City? Then San Andreas? Now IV? How excited you all were to play it? How you couldn't wait to just tear into the package and get that disc out for the first time?!

Well, that's how it was when this game first came out. Given, the graphics aren't that good, but think here people, it was an early Playstation game. I'm sitting here reading reviews of this game and shaking my head, because a lot of them are coming from people that are disappointed with the game because they played the newer ones first.

Don't give this game a bad rep because you played the newer versions first. Yes, they obviously will have better graphics, better story-lines, better views, more missions and whatnot, but this is the game that STARTED IT ALL. If you've played GTA, GTA: London, and GTA 2, you know what I'm talking about. These games are classics in their own age. At the time they came out, there was nothing that could stop them, much like the newer GTA's today.

This GTA is the one that started it all, and it's just as much fun as any of the later versions of the game if you ask me. Yes, it has the 'overhead' view, controls that take some getting used-to, and not the best graphics you'
