Grand Theft Autois back--and the popular mission-based  driving game is nastier than ever!Grand Theft Auto 2plays much  like its predecessor, and that is not necessarily a good thing.The graphics in the original were terrible, andGTA 2does little  to amend this deficiency. The game camera looks straight down on the  action, making it difficult to judge relative heights. The grainy game  objects don't help matters much, either. Plus, the game's missions  mainly consist of fetching things for crime lords, with a few  assassination missions thrown in every so often.Still,Grand Theft Auto 2is a terrific game to boot up for 30  minutes if you want to blow off some steam. You don't necessarily have  to take on any missions. Instead, you can brainlessly roam around the  enormous city environments performing random acts of violence. (However,  we don't recommend that you try this at home!). Few games of any type  offer this sort of reckless, open-ended mayhem.Police chases are wilder than ever thanks to new units with improved  interception techniques. New weapons also add some much-needed variety  to the carnage that players are bound to create. If you never played the  original, skip it and pick up this version. You might also consider  getting some therapy, if time permits.--T.
