Introduction
Grand Theft
Auto 2 is the second installment in the Grand Theft Auto series, released in
1999 by Rockstar Games. It's considered one of the most influential games on
the industry, as well as one of the best open-world titles ever made.
The game
puts you in control of Claude Speed (voiced by David Cross), an up-and-coming
criminal who has just arrived in Liberty City after escaping from prison on his
own terms. He soon meets up with his old friend Catalina (voiced by Jenna
Jameson) and begins working for her gangster boss, 8-Ball (voiced by Samuel L
Jackson). The story then follows Claude as he tries to make it big while
avoiding police attention and other gangs vying for control over this
fictionalized version of New York City--and all its inhabitants' wallets!
Gameplay
Grand Theft
Auto 2 is a sandbox game, meaning that you can do whatever you want and go
wherever you want. The game features a wide variety of missions and objectives
for players to complete, but no one mission is required to beat the game.
The main
objective of GTA2 is to steal cars and then sell them for profit (and maybe
even some extra cash). You can also earn money by completing missions, which
usually involve stealing cars or killing people; however, there are other ways
to earn cash as well. For example: if you find yourself low on health during
gameplay--which happens often--you can buy food from vending machines located
throughout each level's cityscape!
The controls
are fairly simple because they're based off those used by previous iterations
in this franchise: X button = jump; A button = attack/fight; B button = run
away from danger; Y button = use special ability (if applicable); Left Analog
Stick + Right Analog Stick together = change camera angle
Vehicles
Vehicles play an important role in GTA 2. There are many types of vehicles available, and each one has its own pros and cons. Vehicles can be used effectively if you know how to use them properly.
Cars: The
most common form of transportation in the game, cars have good speed but low
durability. They're also easy to steal from other players or NPCs (non-playable
characters).
Motorcycles:
These are faster than cars but less durable and harder to steal from other
players or NPCs because they're smaller than most cars. However, they're still
fairly easy to find throughout Liberty City's streets if you look hard enough!
Boats: Boats
aren't available until later levels when you unlock them by completing certain
missions; however once unlocked they offer great speed while navigating through
water without having any issues related specifically towards land-based
vehicles such as getting stuck on objects such as rocks etcetera..
Weapons
The weapons available in GTA2 are listed below, along with their pros and cons.
Pistol: This
is your default weapon that you start out with. It has a small clip size (10
bullets), but it's very accurate and powerful for its size. This is a good
weapon for taking out enemies at long range or when you need to conserve ammo
for other guns.
Machine Gun:
The machine gun has high power but low accuracy, so it's best used at close
range against multiple targets where accuracy doesn't matter as much as raw
firepower does.
Rocket
Launcher: This weapon launches rockets that explode on impact with any surface
or enemy within its blast radius (about 20 feet). Its main drawback is its slow
rate of fire--it takes about three seconds between shots!
Characters
There are six types of characters in GTA 2:
The Hoods.
These are the most basic, and they're good all-rounders. Their stats are
average, but they have no special abilities. They make great entry-level
characters if you're just starting out and want to get your feet wet with the
game before diving into more advanced strategies.
The
Criminals. These guys have higher health than other types of characters, making
them harder to kill--but at the cost of lower speed and accuracy stats (which
means that their attacks won't hit as often). If you're looking for a challenge
or just want something different from what everyone else is doing online, this
could be an option for you!
The
Businessmen/Women/Executives/Politicians/etc.. These guys don't do much damage
when attacking enemies directly; instead they use money as ammunition by
throwing dollar bills at foes from afar (or sometimes even hitting them with
briefcases full of cash!). They also have special abilities such as being able
to call taxis or helicopters whenever needed so long as there aren't too many
people using those services already--making them ideal choices if teamwork
isn't really your thing but still want some help getting around town without
having someone constantly watching over their shoulder telling them where
exactly everything else needs fixing first before continuing onward towards victory!
Storyline
The story of
GTA 2 is one of the most unique and engaging in gaming. You play as Claude
Speed, a former criminal who has been released from prison and is trying to go
straight. But when his former boss calls him up with an offer he can't refuse--a
chance at revenge against a rival gangster--Claude finds himself back in the
game again.
The game's
narrative unfolds over its 20 missions, each one taking place on a different
island within the city of Anywhere City (formerly known as Liberty City). As
you progress through these missions, your character becomes more powerful and
influential; by the end of the story arc, you'll have full control over all
four gangs in town: The Sharks (led by King Courtney), The Clowns (headed up by
Mr Wong), The Yakuza (led by 8-Ball) and The Mafia (with Salvatore Leone at its
head).
Graphics
The graphics
of GTA 2 are quite good. They're not going to blow your mind, but they do their
job well enough that it's easy for you to forget about them and focus on the
gameplay instead. The cars look like cars, pedestrians look like
pedestrians--nothing too fancy or impressive here.
The quality
of these graphics is also pretty solid: there aren't any glitches or major
issues with how things look in this game (at least none that I've noticed).
Again though, nothing too fancy or impressive here either; just basic stuff
done well enough so that it doesn't distract from playing the game itself
Audio
Audio is an
important part of the experience, and Grand Theft Auto 2 does not disappoint.
The audio for this game is excellent. If you're playing on PC or console,
you'll have access to Dolby Surround Sound and full 5.1 surround sound options
that really bring the game to life. The soundtrack is also very good; it has
some catchy tunes that make driving around town more enjoyable than it would
otherwise be!
Multiplayer

options
Multiplayer
gameplay is an important part of Grand Theft Auto 2, as it was with the first
game. The player can compete against other players in an online environment or
play competitively on the same console. Online gameplay allows you to play with
friends or strangers from around the world, but requires a subscription fee to
access it (and even then, there are some restrictions). Competitive play offers
an alternative way for players who don't want to pay for an online subscription
and instead prefer local multiplayer sessions with their friends at home or at
work.
Conclusion
In
conclusion, Grand Theft Auto 2 is a game that is worth your time and money. It
has an engaging story, fun gameplay mechanics and great graphics for its time.
If you're looking for something that can entertain you for hours on end then
this is it!
