Grand Theft Auto is a multi-platform game series developed by Rockstar North. The first part appeared more than 20 years ago. As the name implies, the essence of the game is to lead a criminal lifestyle and steal not only cars, but also participate in bank robberies and killings of some individuals.
Each part of the game became so popular that even the world stars of cinema decided to join its voice acting. Despite the fact that the latest series was GTA V, there are about 12 games in total.
Series development
According to the developers, the gamer should become a criminal in the metropolis. Each mission helps to move up the career ladder. Gang leaders give various kinds of instructions to the protagonist. Most often you need to rob banks or work as a killer.
To take a break from criminal activity, you can work as a taxi driver, firefighter, police officer, driver, etc. But the mission will still have to be completed. Each game hides its secrets and has the so-called Easter eggs.
In "GTA 2", the passage was practically not built on any plot. It was important only to complete missions and tasks. But in subsequent games, a plot began to emerge that told about a hero betrayed by friends or left alone in other circumstances.
The plot and features
The passage of "GTA 2" does not have a specific plot. The events of the second part take place in the future. Interestingly, there was practically no data that would give a hint of what kind of future is being discussed. But later it became known that the game suffered the gamer in 2013.
The passage of "GTA 2" begins in a metropolis called Anywhere City. On the basis of which location this city was drawn, it is unknown, but New York is shown in the companion video.
The location was divided into 3 conditional areas. On the first are casinos, hotels and various organizations. On the second - a city prison, a park with a club, a research center and a hydroelectric power station. On the third - a port, a meat factory and a temple.
Gameplay
The passage of the game "GTA 2" takes place in an unusual form for these times from above. The gamer can use the night or day mode. The gameplay is associated with gangs that are localized in their area. If a gamer chooses one of the gangs, there is a chance that he will ruin relations with others.
To start the passage of "GTA 2", the gamer must get the mission. To do this, he, being in the territory of one of the groups, receives a call from the leader. Depending on the color of the phone, it will be possible to understand the complexity of the mission.
Assignments
So, there are three colors of the phone: green promises easy tasks, yellow - medium difficulty missions, red - difficult. You can also find blue phones that provide information about criminal gangs.
During missions in GTA 2, not all tasks will be available immediately. Some open depending on the authority and relations of the protagonist with the gang.
Each level (district) has a certain number of tasks: three gangs offer 7 tasks each. The last, 22 quest, is final. The protagonist will chase the leaders of the gang of the region in which he is located. This means that the player will have to visit all three locations in order to defeat all three bosses.
During the execution of the task, it is worth remembering that to get to a certain area you need an amount. A million dollars will be enough for the first level, 3 million will be needed for the second, and 5 million will be needed for the third.
Characters
Claude Speed is a protagonist in GTA 2. The hero’s story says that he began his activities as an ordinary gangster, but was later hired by a large criminal group that controls Eniwer City. Claude must secretly work with all the gangs, and then eliminate the leaders to gain power over all the criminals of the city.
In addition to the main character, there are three gang leaders. Johnny Zoo belongs to the Yakuza - a gang located in the city center. He asks Claude to weaken the gang in the neighborhood, but soon dies at the hands of the protagonist.
Trey Welsh is the leader of the Zaibatsu Corporation, who also turns to Claude for help and asks him to weaken the enemy groupings. The fate of Trey is in the hands of the protagonist. Elmo is the boss of the Scumbags. He also works with Claude and also dies at his hands.
Missions and Quests
After starting the game, the developers prepared a training mission in order to understand the gameplay and think about further actions in the game. The first level is the Yakuza district. Here the hero is waiting for 7 missions, which he must successfully pass in order to get the desired amount and go to another level. But he won’t be able to do it right away, because first he will have to complete all the “green” tasks in each district, after the “yellow” and finally the “red” ones. At the end of the player, as already mentioned, the 22nd final mission awaits.
Green Missions
The first two tasks in the Yakuza area are simple: you need to find Dr. Zitsaki and take him to the laboratory, and then you have to rob the bank, helping Johnny Zoo. In the Zaibatsu district, one of the informers will have to be killed and then sold drugs to four people in a certain amount of time. The Scumbags will have to undermine the restaurant. But with the help of explosives this will not work, so it is better to find a pizzeria van and blow it up. And after that it will be necessary to harm Zaibatsu, who is promoting a new drug. You need to take dynamite and blow up the radio station.
Yellow missions
On the side, Zaibatsu needs to harm the Thugs who launched drugs into the water supply. To do this, you have to steal your favorite car from them, install explosives in it and return to the garage, blowing up the car.
After this case, you need to start a big robbery: find a van, accomplices and call in the bank. After killing a policeman and hiding from the chase. The third "yellow" mission will be the search for an informer and reprisal against him.
On the side of the Yakuza, it will first be necessary to annoy the Thugs who will try to crack down on the main character. To prevent this from happening, you will have to crush everyone on the machine, and later mine a van with ice cream, which will have to explode in the area of the Frighten. Next, Claude awaits tracking the traitor who sells information to Zaibatsu. You can find an ultrasound or crush a snitch. After that, you will need to pick up Gamma from the hospital. To do this, you need to get an ambulance. Therefore, it will be necessary to shoot only one person, so that the doctors go on a call, and then stole a car from them.
In the first “yellow” mission, the Scumbags will have to hide from the killers, who were called by the brother of the leader of this gang. Claude’s next mission is to steal a police limousine. But for this you will have to complete a couple of quests: pick up a weapon, hire a person who will distract the cops, and then get into the garage.
Claude must destroy new drugs that can harm the Thugs. You need to get into the Yakuza laboratory and blow up the tanks.
Red missions
We return to the Zaibatsu area to realize the accident of an armored car. In 6 minutes you need to blow up two armored vehicles, in one of which is a biologist who is being tortured by Yakuza. To do everything right, just crash into them until they start to smoke, and then arrange a traffic jam.
Further, Claude needs to hijack a collector's car, but you need to be prepared for the fact that after this the chase will begin. In this case, it is better to just get out of the car and deal with the gang, otherwise they can blow up the transport.
After we go to the Yakuza area. The gang leader is upset that the police took his favorite car. He will ask Claude to steal a special forces van. To do this, you will need to activate the 4th danger level during the passage of "GTA 2" so that the special forces arrive. After that, it will be enough to deal with them and select a car.
Later it turns out that the soldiers decided to destroy all the Yakuza vehicles, and for this they will use a tank. Claude will have to stop them. And although there is no timer for a while, you still need to get to the place of events on time. Next, you will have to divert the attention of the soldiers to yourself and transfer them all. Using a grenade launcher, you can easily destroy the tank.
Scumbags "red" missions also do not seem easy. First you will need to destroy three cars with taxi drivers. In the first there will be only one driver, in the second - a driver with a fighter, and in the third - 5 armed people.
In the last task, you will first have to take the car from Zaibatsu and hand over the leaders of the Yakuza, and then do the opposite. During the execution of this quest, it is important that Claude is not pursued by the police, otherwise the mission will fail.
Final task
If a player goes through all the missions for each gang, then he can begin to complete the 22nd quest. After successfully completing the previous mission, Claude is surrounded by three cars from which the gang leaders emerge. They have a cool weapon with which they are going to destroy the main character. If you evade the battle, then the leaders will kill each other. You can also try to destroy them with a flamethrower.
One way or another, the mission will be completed. The main thing is to stay alive a couple of minutes after the start of the shooting.
Secrets
Few people know, but in the game "GTA 2" there are a couple of secrets that diversify the gameplay. For example, with the help of Molotov cocktails you can fly. It is enough to climb the roof, and after jumping from it, press the attack button.
If you notice the guys on the street, you can kill them and get bonuses for it. To do this, you need to take the car and crash into them in a straight line so that everyone will die immediately.
Advice
To gain respect and gain credibility in one of the gangs, you need to more often kill the enemy group. You can also steal their cars. To everything went more or less smoothly, it is better to stuff cars with explosives.
If you are traveling around the city, try not to bring down ordinary citizens. So you will not attract the attention of cops. But if it happened that the police organized a chase after you, you need to get to the car repair shop and repaint the car,
Popular mod
Not everyone knows, but there is a mod of the game "GTA: Criminal Russia 2". Passage became available in 2004. The player is transferred to Russia and Ukraine of the 90s. In this game, a modified map adapted to the appropriate location, as well as a new plot, characters and Russian soundtracks.
Passing missions in GTA: Criminal Russia 2 is a fairly easy task. The game allows you to fully plunge into the atmosphere of that time. It is dangerous to walk the streets, and constant clashes of bandit groups take place around. To successfully cope with the passage of "GTA: Criminal Russia 2 beta", it will be enough to follow all the tasks and complete them in order to get new goals.
Popular games
Simple at first glance seems the passage of "GTA 2". San Andreas - the fourth part of a series of games - turned out to be much more difficult for many. This game appeared in 2004 and turned out to be one of the most popular in the series, before the release of the fifth main part.
This was due to the fact that since the passage of GTA 2, the game San Andreas has acquired a huge number of innovations. New types of transport have become popular: a combine harvester, a tow truck, a jetpack, trains, and much more. Now the main character easily swims, dives and climbs over the fence. The gameplay of the new part has also changed significantly.
But the game "GTA 5" has become really popular. Passing missions in GTA 2 does not compare with what the developers prepared in the last part. Firstly, the graphics underwent significant changes, which brought the virtual picture closer to the real one. Secondly, the player can now control the three main characters, between which you can switch. Thirdly, in the fifth part there are 62 missions at once, but thanks to several passage options, there can be 3 different endings, and the number of tasks increases to 69.
conclusions
The Grand Theft Auto series was not just a breakthrough in the world of computer games, but it became a cultural phenomenon. Many TV shows and TV shows often mention the game GTA. Many modern cartoons have repeatedly parodied this project.
Each new part is better than the previous one, and this is perhaps the main success of the entire series.
