Grand Theft Auto 2

The game takes place at an undisclosed time in the near future and features a single town divided into downtown, residential, and industrial districts. The player must answer phones to initiate missions, explore the city, and steal vehicles. To unlock new districts, you need to reach a certain score by committing crimes and finishing missions.

The game introduces multiple criminal gangs, forcing the player to choose allegiances. Each gang has its own reputation, and performing missions for one gang can decrease your reputation with another. As you commit crimes, you'll also become wanted by the police, who will escalate their response from SWAT teams to Special Agents and finally the army.

New features include the ability to save at a designated church when donating enough money, as well as side missions like becoming a taxi driver. There are also new cars with added features, such as a firetruck with a flamethrower and a car with machine guns.

The PC version allows for adjustable lighting, while the PlayStation version is limited to noon gameplay, and the Sega Dreamcast version can only be played at dusk.
