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.

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.

This is a freaking great add-on a must play...
The Good
Well, if you have played and liked GTA, then chances are your gonna love this add-on, obviously, as the name suggest it takes place in London in the year 1969, the game only has one place to explore, but it is a good place, London of course, it really does resemble the 1969's the cars, London, and even the music on the radio in the car you drive is from 1969, the graphics are exactly the same, not a bad thing, but not a good thing either, the controls are exactly the same, but that is a good thing, since it is a add-on to GTA, you get to choose from one of four blokes, to play as, explore and destroy London as you please, take any 1969 car you want, and use one of four guns, the same guns from the first GTA, there are like 32 or so new missions to per take in, plus rampages, and bonus car missions, or just explore and destroy London for points, either way you'll move on to one of three areas, with some nice ending cutscenes to a stage.
The Bad
Okay, now the bad, you still can't save in a stage, which would be good, because the game locks up on me all the time when i am about to beat the stage, then i have to start all over again, which of course sucks.
The Bottom Line
bottom line, BUY BUY BUY! especially if your a GTA fan like me, this is a great add-on and it does it's job.

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.
