    good value for the 3 original GTA's - 5 stars
    Grand Theft Auto Classics Collection Review
    For 10 measly bucks, this is good value for the original GTA games.

    I'm sure i dont have to review GTA for you, you'd have to have been living under one hell of a rock to know what these games are about.

    If only they could have created GTA 1 again with the graphics of GTA2 they would have a better game then the 3 of them combined.

    Seeing as how it's the PC version, it's very easy to find mods and addons for this game, so you can add new cars like the General Lee, Herbie, Ghostbusters Car, Knight Rider etc.. you name it, there is 1000's to add to it. And even mods for new layouts and cities etc...

    Take it to the edge, it's cheap enough to buy, load up the game, and go for a joyride.


    The gang's all here ... to bust some heads. - 4 stars
    Grand Theft Auto Classics Collection Review
    The GTA Classics Collection packages the first three titles in the GTA series in one convenient bundle for your PC-based amusement. Fans of the old-school versions, complete with bird's-eye viewpoints and horrible music, will gladly pay ten bucks (or less for used) to get their hands on this mildly-nostalgic, ever-exciting collection.

    It begins with Grand Theft Auto: the game that started it all. After you pick a criminal to navigate through the city, you find and perform tasks and directives given by the mob, gangsters, and other ne'er-do-wells. This includes killing, maiming, bombing, stealing, and destroying everything in your path - even civilians. Be careful, though, as the police will be on you faster than you can blink if you cause too much collateral damage.

    London: 1969 is an expansion disc that sets the same game abroad in the age of the hippies. The clothing, music and slang are all era-appropriate, and the missions are equally fun. You can even enjoy taking out the English version of our cops if you're feeling rather bloodthirsty.

    GTA 2 shows remarkable improvement over the first two titles. You are still stuck with the ever-annoying bird's-eye view, but the graphics are more advanced and the missions are far more interesting. Now you are in the middle of a gang-infested city: you must earn respect from each of the three rival gangs or they will not give you any missions. One of the main things that you can do for respect points, of course, is to take out rival gang members. This is the biggest and most interesting change, though other things - such as the fact that your vehicles are now more realistic in speed, acceleration and handling - have also been improved.

    Another interesting advance in GTA 2 is that SWAT teams and other advanced law-enforcement units can now descend upon you like a pack of rabid wolves should you become one of the city's most-wanted criminals. In the past, it was basically limited to roadblocks and numerous police cars. Now, however, the guys in black can take you out. This makes it easier for you to take a hit and go down, but it's also a little more challenging than simply running your stolen 18-wheeler over a bunch of roadblocks.

    You can also save your progress any time that you return to the saving point, provided that you have accumulated $50,000. Be warned, however, that the condition in which you save progress is automatically repeated when you come back. In other words, if you save when cops are on your tail, you will still have to evade them when you run that saved progress again.

    This collection cannot be properly compared to the newer releases (i.e. San Andreas), because the technology and programming have obviously evolved since GTA was first conceived. However, it is entirely possible to adore the newer, faster, better games but still return to the older classics for a simpler, more straightforward type of fun.

    One of the strongest recommendations is to purchase a USB controller or joypad if you intend to play this game. It makes steering, firing, jumping, and all other commands infinitely easier than with the keyboard. In both keyboard and controller instances, however, all three of these GTA titles include preference-changing options so that you can program your keyboard or controller in any manner that you wish. The controller is still easier because many players are used to playing GTA, regardless of title, on standalone gaming platforms such as the PlayStation or XBox.

    Also: people who are using older computers should note that the minimum system requirements begin at the Win 98 SE operating system. The original Win98 OS is not compatible, but other aspects (memory, processor speed, and hard-drive space) are minimal. Unless you are running a dinosaur on its last breath, this game should give you no problems. If it does, the options menu allows you to change graphics speeds and other settings so that you can work with your system's limitations and still enjoy these fine games.
