Grand Theft Auto 2

Grand Theft Auto 2 is an action-adventure sandbox game set in a city divided into three districts: downtown, residential, and industrial. The districts unlock one at a time as players earn score through criminal activities and missions.

Players answer phones to begin missions, steal vehicles, and build relationships with seven gangs. Supporting one gang can damage the player’s reputation with another. Criminal activity also attracts escalating police attention, from local police and SWAT teams to Special Agents and the army.

The game adds church-based saving through donations, side missions such as taxi driving, and vehicles equipped with weapons, including a flamethrower-equipped firetruck and a machine-gun car.
