    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The second GTA game. GTA II is perhaps the most strangest GTA in all of the series. II is set "Anywhere, USA" and its a retrospective game it is really strange, so if all GTA games are connected then II most be the last one since it is set in the future or something. I think the game is really cool and this is also the first GTA to be written by Dan Houser and he wrote the rest of the GTA'S after this and RDR and Bully and Max Payne 3. But is the game better than GTA I no not really GTA I is slightly better but that doesn't mean GTA II is a bad game. Also everybody says that the main character from GTA III is the main character in II but how can he be still alive since II is set years and I mean years after GTA IV, so I don't think its the same Claude. To finish this review I give GTA II, 7/10.… Expand

    As I'm not a big fan of top-down perspective, this game didn't excite me much as a kid, but it layed the ground for Rockstar Games to become one of the biggest/best developers. It definitely deserves some love, although it's not very replayable by today standards.

    One of the most controversial games for the Playstation has created a bigger, better, badder, and more f***ed up sequel.

    Don't expect a graphical treasure but the gameplay will take take some time to complete while raising a few smiles on the way.

    Bangin' drum and bass kicks out of the stolen sports cars super woofers as you prowl the streets for criminal action. Climb behind the furry wheel of a pick-up truck and it's good ole' hillbilly rock. This game knows how to use music and it shows it big time.
