www.nintendo.com – Game Boy Color:
    Working your way up the criminal corporate ladder isn't easy. You have to be prompt, courteous, detail-oriented and drive like a maniac.

    In Grand Theft Auto, you essay the role of wise-guy wannabee. Taking assignments on the fly, you pick up stolen cars, rendezvous with fellow would-be wise guys and perform other task-based missions.

    There's some gunfire, of course, but most of the action involves traipsing across bleak cityscapes while evading the long arm of the law, not to mention rival gangsters. In all, there are more than 100 missions.

    Grand Theft Auto takes the same top-down view as the controversial PC version. Gone, though, are the hefty helpings of gangster slang and Type O sloshing about the landscape.

    While you can walk and drive pretty much any where you want to, including city parks, control is dicey. Changing directions after you've bumped into a wall is particularly annoying. On the plus side, Grand Theft Auto's huge 32-meg size makes for plenty of clear, crisp graphics.

    Chalk up the Teen rating to Grand Theft Auto's lurid premise. But despite the salty screen text (" ... you mess up, we mess you up"!) and occasional opportunity for gunplay, Grand Theft Auto for the Game Boy Color is a surprisingly low-key actioner.

    Grand Theft Auto is compatible with Game Boy Color, Game Boy pocket and classic Game Boy.
