Even though this original/first GTA game will never be placed high alongside the other games in the series, it served as the foundation for the series and I thought it was a pretty fun title back in the day.

The over the top view limits the presentation greatly and convolutes the controls making things fairly unintuitive at first. Most missions are timed and don't allow a whole lot of room for mistakes so the frustration factor is fairly high for new players but if you manage to get past that point and become familiar with the controls, the game becomes very fun.

I was never able to fully complete the game but this game made me appreciate and keep an eye on the GTA series ever since it came out.
