Grand Theft Auto 2

Good, but it's no Vice City or San Andreas

Granted, this game came out a LOOOONG time ago. But the overlying flaw is the gameplay. In Vice City, there are many many many places to find "jobs" to do for various gang lords in the city. In GTA2, however, there's just six. And getting to them is a pain in the @$$. The guns are pretty cool. My favorite is the electric one, because it can link up to a lot of people, thus gaining you more money.

That's another thing I just don't understand about this game. You get money for basically anything you do in this game...Hell. I walked around for 45 minutes and just shot everyone. I got like a million dollars. I just don't understand where the money comes from, then again...that's in real life too. I guess i could recommend this game...It is fun if you have no other games to play...I'd have to give it an "Almost, Not Quite" rating.
