    This awesome game was mindblowing when it first came out. You could walk around killing people.... AND drive cars. WOW. Micromachines was a fun game but this is like micromachines where you can get out and blow up a cop car with a rocket launcher. The radio stations were the awesome homemade stuff that you got until Vice City came along. The humour was the best of all the GTA's in myThis awesome game was mindblowing when it first came out. You could walk around killing people.... AND drive cars. WOW. Micromachines was a fun game but this is like micromachines where you can get out and blow up a cop car with a rocket launcher. The radio stations were the awesome homemade stuff that you got until Vice City came along. The humour was the best of all the GTA's in my opinion. Just straight up rudeness with none of the social commentary of later games. The gameplay was so much fun.. In GTAIV you can jump your car and flip it around in 3D and get stats on how far you jumped and bla bla bla.. that is NOWHERE NEAR as fun as jumping that broken bridge with the cones on it in a crap car in GTA1 was, knowing that if you did it slightly wrong you WOULD be instantly wasted.The missions were cool, and you got liberty city, vice city, and san andreas all in one game. God remember how much fun getting the tank was. Or finding a kill frenzy, or achieving your first gouranga.. now that's an actual achievement. The graphics.. well in hindsight the graphics sucked but when this game came out they were not a problem, you were looking at something completely new so they were setting a benchmark for the genre. An easily defeatable one, but who was to know. So if you are some kid that is considering paying for this on steam you should be prepared for that.. coz teh grafix r retrded. And maybe the gameplay is outdated for you. I'm rating it based on how I enjoyed it when I was a kid, definitely gets a 10 and makes skyrim seem as fun as peeling a potato. Expand

    Не было ни карты города, ни маркеров ориентиров, как можно было проходить миссии в этой игре уже с трудом помню.

    This game was the beginning for a great saga, I had been expended several hours in this game on my childhood. For the one who didn't play this game yet, believe me, you have to!.
    You can feel the same game mechanic, the spirit is there.

    Que se puede decir que no se haya dicho ya? el juego que comenzó todo. la locura, la libertad, el crimen, la exploración. todo en un videojuego clásico con vista isometrica en 2D que luego fue mejorado con GTA2. Curiosamente acá existen las motocicletas. varios personajes que elegir pero realmente todos son el mismo sprite. locura insana por donde quieras. música interesante. y luegoQue se puede decir que no se haya dicho ya? el juego que comenzó todo. la locura, la libertad, el crimen, la exploración. todo en un videojuego clásico con vista isometrica en 2D que luego fue mejorado con GTA2.

    This was such a great game and still is. I really hope it will be available on Steam again so I can have it in my Steam library. It's still listed on Steam, but still not purchaseable at this moment.

    First Grand Theft Auto. Such a nostalgic game. It's not the same as we're playing now.

    Particolarissimo videogame, con una grafica a dir poco spartana, ma che fa dell'originalità il suo punto di forza.
    Divertente, longevo e immediato.
    Peccato per i controlli non sempre intuitivi.
    Un punto in più per l'originalità: unico nel suo genere.
