GTA 2

In 1999, Rockstar Games and Rockstar North (then known as DMA Design), two years after the release of Grand Theft Auto, released GTA2. GTA2 is still the same GTA with a top-down view, only much better, with new features. There are now several competing factions in the game: Yakuza, Scientists, Looneys, Rednecks, Zaibatsu, Russian Mob and Hare Krishnas. Earn the respect of every faction and reach the top of the criminal world.

Today, after a long time, Grand Theft Auto fans will again be able to feel the spirit of the classics. And new players who haven’t played the first games will be able to experience the roots of the franchise. Absolutely free. GTA2 has been fully optimized for modern computers. The 353 megabyte archive includes an installation file, readme and a manual in PDF format.
