It was a lot of fun when I was a child causing chaos in the streets while running with a tank, but after playing years later I found it a bit boring and souless. The game hasn't aged well. There are way better GTAs than this one. Progression in this game could be better but the gangs and respect system should come back, one of the nicest things about this game.

Meu primeiro jogo e um absoluto banger. Nada me fazia mais feliz quando criança que sair atirando e fazer besteira, pular com carro sobre prédios e não fazer nenhuma missão porque eu simplesmente não entendia inglês.

Un cambio PEQUEÑO pero esta mejor que el 1

The camera is improved and the controls are slightly better than the first but it still controls like ass and I didn't really find myself motivated to continue with it but at least I got further in than GTA 1 but still not that far. On the bright side, the graphics are better and the radio still has that GTA charm to it.

A bit of an improvement over the first, but still lackluster.

Essentially GTA 1 but digestable, which is a pretty huge improvement.

The cameras fixed, the controls feel tighter (though they still suck tbh), the graphics are better, Rockstar's vibes are in full effect, BUT at the end of the day, this is just a superior GTA 1. It follows the exact same formula and doesn't deviate from GTA 1's structure in the slightest, and frankly this structure is just kinda boring.

You are once again going around a city and doing these arcadey missions. It's near instantly repetitive, though it would be acceptable if driving around the city was fun. Driving around the city is in-fact not fun, as you really can't see what's up ahead, and the map is laid out like a jumbled maze. They're a bit more lenient with the dead ends than in GTA 1, but not by much. You'll still be frequently having to turn around and try to figure out how to even get to your generic objective time and time again. It's just exhausting to play.

For what they wanted to achieve, they would have had to make this game WAY more coherent with a map or something, or they go 3rd Person, I mean, imagine if Crazy Taxi was top down and you couldn't tell where you were going, wouldn't be too much fun right? Rockstar of course made the wise decision of going 3rd person, now GTA 1 and 2 serve as a history lesson to the franchise and unfortunately, not much else.
