The Bottom Line:

"Grows on you"

The first Grand Theft Auto was pretty cut and dry: either do missions to advance through levels or just drive around, shoot people, blow stuff up, run from cops or whatever. Not really much to it and Grand Theft Auto 2 is at it's core, almost the same. Now that's not a bad thing, because sometimes simple can just equal plain fun. Grand Theft Auto 2 looks better graphically in the sense that the textures a more smooth than the original and the effects (explosions and stuff) look much better. Also there's now a "gang relation" meter than monitors your standing with certain gangs. Increase your standing with one gang will decrease your standing with another. This of course wasn't in the original Grand Theft Auto and it helps change the game up a little bit, but as far as change...that's pretty much it. You still have the free roam ability to just gun and run for fun, or you can take missions and advance up like the original. All in all it's a fun game and if you liked the original Grand Theft Auto then you'll enjoy this one was well.
