Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've recently beaten Grand Theft Auto 3, which I enormously recommend to anybody who has a PS2 and can tell the difference between reality and fantasy. I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the original GTA (Historical interest, you know), so I bought a used copy.
As everybody already knows, and as I knew, the graphics aren't great. They're 2D and pixellated, and they don't seem at home on a Playstation game. But graphics aren't everything (After all, Tetris was one of the best games ever), so this flaw doesn't greatly detract from the game, in my opinion.
Unfortunately, two other flaws greatly ruined my fun while trying to play. The first is the game's camera. It's really, really annoying, and you can't do anything about it - the camera keeps zooming in on you/your car and then zooming out for no reason, making it difficult sometimes to see what's happening sometimes. Other times, it's just annoying. Also, you can't rotate the camera, which bites.
The second flaw is much more aggravating, and really hurts the game, I think. The controls are almost indecipherable. I figured that maybe it was just that I was still using GTA3-styled controls, and after awhile, I would learn to adjust, but I didn't. I still can't drive a car in this game without constantly bonking into a building, or frantically trying to steer my car back onto a road. There are five different layouts for your controls, all pre-set, so you can't customize it. All five are useless. It really hurts gameplay if you can't even play the game.
The game has great historical interest, and it's still a fun concept. However, if you have a PS2, just forget about this and go for GTA3. At least in that game, if you have a hard time beating it, it's because the game is challenging, not the controls.
