Return to the gritty, top-down crime underworld with Grand Theft Auto 2 for the Sony PlayStation! Set in the retro-futuristic “Anywhere City,” this sequel to the controversial original plunges you into a sprawling urban landscape where respect is everything. As a street-level criminal, your goal is to climb the ranks of power by taking on missions for various ruthless crime syndicates. Your actions will gain you favor with one gang while simultaneously earning the deadly animosity of their rivals, forcing you to navigate a dangerous web of alliances and betrayals. Steal cars, cause mayhem, and evade increasingly aggressive police forces – including SWAT teams and even the army – as you work your way to the top of the criminal empire!

Key Features:

• Top-Down Urban Sandbox: Explore a large, open city filled with pedestrians, traffic, and endless opportunities for chaos and crime, all from the classic bird’s-eye view.
• Gang Loyalty System: Choose which of the seven distinct crime syndicates you work for; pleasing one gang will anger their rivals, affecting available missions and street interactions.
• Diverse Missions: Take on a variety of jobs, from assassinations and robberies to vehicle theft and more, each increasing in difficulty and reward.
• Rampaging Mayhem: Engage in vehicle rampages, pedestrian run-overs, and shootouts, triggering escalating wanted levels from local cops to heavily armed special agents.
• Save System: Unlike the first game, you can now save your progress by visiting a church and paying a fee, making the progression more accessible.
• Varied Arsenal: Utilize a wide range of weapons, from pistols and shotguns to flamethrowers and rocket launchers.
• Live-Action Cutscenes: Experience unique, gritty live-action intro and interstitial cutscenes that set the tone for the game’s dark humor.
