Grand Theft Auto: Mission Pack #1 - London 1969
Description official descriptions
Grand Theft Auto: Mission Pack #1 - London 1969 is an official expansion pack to Grand Theft Auto. Instead of the fictional interpretations of New York, Miami and Los Angeles of the original, this game opens up the city of London to the player. The game features thirty new vehicles, new graphics and thirty-two new missions; all in a distinctly British theme. The new city contains many familiar landmarks from London in the late 60s as well as other cultural reference and Cockney slang. This time the player can choose the avatar's appearance, otherwise gameplay has not been changed from the original game. The player still is involved in organized crime and must perform a variety of criminal activities.

Not much different from original
The Good
This game has some really cool cars and stuff. The sound is a tad bit better than the originaal.
The Bad
This game has the EXACT same gameplay and character sketches as the original gta. The weapons were exactly the same. The only things that were differnt were what side of the road you drive in and what side of the car you get into from.
The Bottom Line
TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!! GET GTA 2 OR BETTER YET THE ORIGINAL. THIS GAME ABSOLUTELY IS TERRIBLE

The best Geezer beater since the Mitchell brothers...
The Good
GTA London's undeniable coarseness made it one the best GTA games I have ever played, with it's range of missions, colourful language and ease of use, I would give a copy of this game to every pre-schooler in the world.
The Bad
The rather shady graphics that unfortunatley let this otherwise flawless game down. I was as pleased as punch to see GTA 3 in 3D making the people bashing even better.
The Bottom Line
A funny, wild, unusual game that is more fun that you can shake a stick at.
DOS · by Fos (12) · 2002
Definitely better than the original GTA.
The Good
Well, it's quite a bit more fun.. first you have to appreciate the oddity of driving on the left side of the road as opposed to the right. The graphics are quite a bit better (same engine but far better sprites) and the assignments are also more fun.
Also, there are the ridiculous new cars - the Locust and the ones with the Brittish flag, gotta love 'em :-)
The Bad
A horrible, horrible software engine, only Glide support and unbelievably idiotic timing mechanism render this game virtually unplayable on anything less than a Pentium II.
The Bottom Line
A nice game, if you're into this sort of thing.

Trivia
German version
When playing the game with German language settings, four of the protagonists (Mick Casey, Winston Henry, Wolfie Vilans and Johnny Hawthorn) can't be chosen.
Soundtrack
One of the most prominent parts of the game is the soundtrack which features beat, psych and reggae tracks. However, the credits section doesn't have any info on who composed the music. This music mostly consists of tracks from Italian cinema of late 60s to early 70s, including infamous spaghetti westerns, spy thrillers and exploitation films, e.g. Teresa la ladra, Una sull'altra or Your turn To Die. Many of the compositions are created by noted movie composers Alessandro Alessandroni, Francesco De Masi and Riz Ortolani.
