Grand Theft Auto: Mission Pack #1 - London 1969

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.

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.

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.
