Grand Theft Auto 2

The action moves through six levels spread over three different cities, each based on a real US city: Liberty City (based on New York City), San Andreas (based on San Francisco) and Vice City (based on Miami).

To finish a level, a certain score must be reached.

Stealing cars and crashing into traffic, driving over pedestrians and killing cops all raise the score, but the big points are made through jobs.

The only way to evade the cops is to find a respray shop and get a new paint job with new license plates.

This costs money which is deducted from the score, however.

But even dying or being arrested are not the end.

The entire action is viewed from a top-down perspective, which zooms out while driving a car, for a better overview at high speeds.

The cities are many screens large and can be freely explored.

Crates are scattered over the cities, which might include weapons (from pistols to rocket launchers), armor or other bonus items: extra lives, police bribes (used to reduce the wanted level to zero) and get-out-of-
