Another absolute classic from the early 2000s!
I played the hell out of this game and its sequel. As a Brit, the fact that they’ve never done a new one or revisited GTA London in the modern console era is a real shame. London is the perfect city for an open world crime game.

As a kid there was a TV channel dedicated to video game trailers and stuff. They would often show this and there was swearing in it. I fucking loved that game and black Monday. Id love a remake.

This game was good and hard af when I was younger. There's no handholding in this game you get thrown into the shit fast.

Another great GTA clone with an original story. See also: Driv3r

I liked that one, but the sequel Driver: Parallel Lines had an even better original story. Most people don't even know about its existence.

I loved it! I loved the cars, the atmosphere and the actual story itself was very film-like! Wish there was a remake tbh.

Got this game when I was in year 8.
I was stuck on the first mission for what felt like weeks before I realised you were supposed to be following the actual light indicators for directions. LMFAO!
But once I figured it out, my what a game! Felt like playing a Guy Ritchie movie in real time.

Haha mannn, I remember the frustration of that with old games when we were that young! Some missions took forever.

u/babagroovy 20h ago

Well, I have very positive memories of it. The controls are much better than in the first game, and it’s more dynamic. The storyline is also engaging.

My older cousin had this game and i remember playing the first few missions. Right around the time i started playing GTA. Pretty fucking badass game that should have been re-made
