Grand Theft Auto 2

The game takes place at an undisclosed time in the near future.

Unlike the first game which featured three different cities, Grand Theft Auto 2 only features a single town, but it's divided in three districts which are unlocked one at a time: downtown, residential and industrial.

Like in the original the player goes around answering phones to initiate various missions.

The game uses an overhead camera in a 3D landscape and allows the player to freely explore the city and steal any vehicle the player sets his or her eyes on.

To unlock new districts the player must reach a certain score which is done by committing crimes and finishing missions.

Because the game now features multiple criminal gangs, the player must choose allegiances.

Performing missions for one gang, will decrease the player's reputation for another.

When the player commits crimes he also becomes wanted by the local police, but as more crimes are committed without shaking the police, they will give way for first SWAT Teams, then Special Agents and finally the army.

New features include the ability to save at the church, when donating enough money, and various side missions, such as becoming a taxi driver to earn money.

There are also many new cars with weapons attached such as a firetruck with a flamethrower and a car with machine guns.

On the PC version the player can change the time of day from noon to dusk to allow for more moody lighting.

On the PlayStation the game can only be played at noon, and on the Dreamcast only at dusk.

Grand Theft Auto 2 for PlayStation is currently worth €17.45 loose, €21.23 complete in box, and €131.67 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Grand Theft Auto 2 has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Grand Theft Auto 2, loose is €17.45 and CIB is €21.23 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Grand Theft Auto 2 is currently worth €17.45 loose, versus €13.10 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
