This video is kinda magic, its like a blast from the past. This video was recorded before GTA3 came out, and it really shows how much people loved this game. It puts a smile on my face
GTA V: People still play me so I'm not worried..... I don't even think you're on Xbox Live or PSN. GTA San Andreas: Boy............*Bust out laughing* ((Sorry if I misspelled the name))
I'm just speechless at how much disrespect people give to this game. I mean there has never been a bad gta game and those 9 year olds just think they've played all the games for hours, found all the secrets and have come to the conclusion that 2 sucks and 5 is the best game ever
I love GTA 2 but i hate the PS1 version. Its so watered down both graphically & sound wise its night & day. The PS1 has Longer Load Times Missing vehicles & no fast travel. Missing or outright inferior sound effects & details. Lower Frame Rate Censored language violence and missions such as blood puddles being removed in the ps1 version. No Day/Night option Missing radio stations & music And just outright a bad port. However for people in 1999 who couldnt afford a beefy computer or didnt have one i could see it being the alternative for playing the full game.
@@grumpyguy112 Although at least it has some better mussion design and in the second level the car crusher is close to the save point. So its a bit more fair to play.
I was in 8th grade when this game came out..classic indeed but the kids that where born in 2000 don't know how big in gaming this was and controversial at the time
Coming to this video to show my boyfriend the “original gta”. God the memories. Though, I was waiting for the moment where I would hear “gimme yo money”
What I hate about GTA fans, is that they praise this series to death, but don't recognize GTA 1,2, London, Advance and Chinatown Wars as "real" GTA games.
OH... MY... GOD... I remember playing the hell out of GTA Mission Pack #1 London. I played the hell out of it on my PS1 and my mom could never get me off of the system. Now I officially own all of them. Gta 1 PS1 Gta London 1969 PS1 Gta 2 PS1 Gta 3 PS2 Gta Vice City PS2 Gta San Andreas PS2 Gta Advance Gameboy Advance Gta IV Xbox 360 and PC Gta Chinatown Wars DS and iOS Gta Episodes From Liberty City: TLAD and TBOGT Gta 3 iOS Gta Vice City iOS and Amazon app store Gta San Andreas iOS and Amazon app store and Gta V Xbox 360 and soon to be on PC on March 18! I will always remain a loyal fan to GTA.
i like world of gta 2 more than any other gta games, and its what i mostly wanted them to bring back in 3d world, the Respect meter, car crushers that rewards you with weapons, near futuristic era, electro guns, coolest syndicates like Zaibatsu, SRS scientists and Yakuza, well they did bring Yakuza in Gta 3, still, this was what Gta truly meant to me and i've seen Gta becoming just generic crime simulator after another.
When I was really young, a gaming magazine rated GTA2 very low. That low rating delayed my first time playing GTA for about 1-2 years. Fuck Magazine Articles and their opinions.
It's great watching these reviews, for they were recorded upon the ACTUAL release of the game, so you have a real/genuine opinion, compared to most younger reviewers/jaded vets, after having been exposed to 'newer' gaming titles, with modern graphics.
I can remember myself at the age of 8-9 ( now I am 21) playing this with my friends. It was huge fun back then, and i watch this video with a smile, remembering those classic games MOH, Syphon filter, GTA, CTR and others... They dont make such fun nowadays... Now
Anybody wondering why 1 and 2 weren't ported to mobile? I mean, Most of the classic gta's have been like San Andreas or Vice City, but not one and two? I don't get it.
The first two games were sadly not as popular as the later entries. But yeah, I would have loved to get _GTA 2_ on my Kindle tablet. I wonder though if it's possible for Rockstar to actually port them to mobile devices.
My oldest, earliest memory...was playing this game with my dad on the ps1, even though its a memory which is literally a couple seconds long which was getting electrocuted on the traintracks and being able to see your skeleton as a result, I just turned to my dad in hysterics for some reason...damn that was such a long time ago, that was literally a couple months before Gta III came out, I also remember my first time playing that too. I think Im going to cry.
Well honestly GTA has gotten trashy.. GTA V removed all the key features that made the older ones better.. GTA IV was good and all but coming from San Andreas and then the you could say "dumbed down" game it was pathetic! I much rather would play old GTAs! GTA IV I must admit had amazing multiplayer but it does not compare to GTA SA MultiPlayer!! Search it up it is an amazing game! I did not like GTA IV partly because there was no Planes, Vegetation, one city and all of that while I know the older ones had no Planes, Vegetation and one city coming from San Andreas to GTA IV made IV seem absolutely pathetic! Don't get me started on GTA V, it is just a blood pool of "Crime Families" "Gangs" and the rest when they are a bunch of 7 year olds going "I'm Don Martini, mess with me and I will fuck you up!" Nobody has respect for GTA anymore it seems, all they think of is the graphics no longer the amazing scale, mechanics and the additional content in the older GTAs! I played a good 50 days of gameplay within 3 months so don't say I am a noob at GTA V and I am just complaining because I haven't played it. I have over 20k hours on each GTA apart from the dreadful number 5! I would rather any day an good ole' GTA rather than GTA V, GTA IV was good though.. I REST MY CASE! "All you had to do was follow the damn train, CJ!" - Smoke "You're just a liability CJ!" - Ryder Too all you newbies to the franchise! "I always knew you was a straight busta'."
I remember this game. I also remember the day that I played it for the first time was the day a former friend kicked me out his house and told me to fuck off.
I still wont forget going to the video store with my buddy when we were 9 or 10. We each got a game to rent and this was one of them. Many sleepless night occurred afterwords.
The gang system in GTA2 was great! When gang thrusted you, you could do missions for them & they helped you sometimes, but when they hated you they attacked you on their territory. I really loved it. Too bad they didn't put this on GTA3 or any other GTA game
I would have to say the jump from gta 2 to gta 3 was def the biggest. In just around 2 years the game has basically set the standard for all the upcoming gtas after that.
Good thing I got this in junior high. Everyone was expecting me to go on a shooting spree. But it was prevented! I was excited when I picked this up on Steam, however the controller support is VERY poorly implemented. It would actually be nice to see this updated to todays type of standards. With a map menu, that alone would do wonders in improving gameplay.
I'd go too the auto shops and load up with land mines and drop them on the sidewalk then watch the pedestrians walk over them and fly off the screen. lol Oil slicks and landmines hell yeah!!!!
Wish elements of GTA2 made the transition to more recent games in the Series (some for Single Player others for Online) from vehicle-based weapons (Mines, Oil Slicks, Vehicle Bombs and Machine-Guns - the latter limited to certain rare cars or as mods), futuristic / beta / other weapons (Electro-Gun, Electro Baton, Microwave, Dual Pistol), power-ups (Electro-Fingers, Invisibility, Invulnerability and Cop Bribes) and the classic Hare Krishna / Elvis Imposter pedestrians (along with the usual bonuses or perhaps make the odd group of Elvis Imposters explosive as a countermeasure against being run-over / gunned down all the time).
One of the best games ever made!. I wish that CGR would have showed more of the crazy music and mentioned the multiplicator system and the save system. It costs money to save but it makes sense to pay for it, because the more jobs you accomplish the higher the multiplicator gets, you can get it so high that taxi driving makes you rich and you need a certain ammount of money to beat the stage.. JESUS SAVES!
my first gta, i remeber playing it so much and then when the ps2 came out and i got gta 3 it blew my mind. thats why gta 2 and 3 are still the best in the series in my opinion.
Its sad how forgotten thids game is. I played Gta 1, 2, London, 3, vice city, san andreas, and IV... but I still own and play 2 on ps1. I just love how non linear it is, and truly wish rockstar would bring it for a Gta anniversary or somethinf
Found a glitch in this game that involves Molotov cocktails and a ramp. Long story short you could fly but only at the height of the ramp/jump you went off of. This game is really good been playing GTA series since London and the first.
I remember askng my mum to get me some monster truck game for pc when I was a kid, and she spent all night on the pc trying to find it, and in the morning downloaded this and asked if it was the game. I was dissapointed when it wasn't, then I realized that this game was the fucking coolest game ever, and I played it every day for a long long time. I love this game.
Ah...maybe my favorite GTA. Countless hours wasted on this one. I still play it a lot to this day. It may not have the graphics, but this game is so fun. I mean, I can't even begin to describe how fun this game is to me. It's simple, it had pretty shallow gameplay, the graphics aren't nowhere near today's standards, the radio stations are limited, there isn't as much interactivity...but something about this game makes me keep coming back. My most played GTA by far. Love it to death.
Played the shit out of this on the Dreamcast, never really played any of the story, just used cheat codes to give all weapons and shit. Was fun as fuck. 10/10 would play again.

It puts a smile on my face
I just love the way GTA 2 sits in "the cool corner" and says "fuck you, you will never be as cool as me" to the rest of the series.
This game fucking sucks! I hate the over head view
This games is classic
ok that's you're opinion, other people like me really enjoyed this game.
GTA V: People still play me so I'm not worried..... I don't even think you're on Xbox Live or PSN.
GTA San Andreas: Boy............*Bust out laughing*
((Sorry if I misspelled the name))
BananaTheBad a 14 year old kid without a soul spotted.
First ever GTA game I've played. Really loved to screw around in that tank. Good times, goooood times.
I renember having this game too.. it was fun
gta 3 was the first then chinatown wars mobile :)
I'm just speechless at how much disrespect people give to this game. I mean there has never been a bad gta game and those 9 year olds just think they've played all the games for hours, found all the secrets and have come to the conclusion that 2 sucks and 5 is the best game ever
I love GTA 2 but i hate the PS1 version. Its so watered down both graphically & sound wise its night & day.
The PS1 has
Longer Load Times
Missing vehicles & no fast travel.
Missing or outright inferior sound effects & details.
Lower Frame Rate
Censored language violence and missions such as blood puddles being removed in the ps1 version.
No Day/Night option
Missing radio stations & music
And just outright a bad port.
However for people in 1999 who couldnt afford a beefy computer or didnt have one i could see it being the alternative for playing the full game.
@@grumpyguy112 still they did what they could at the time
@@someguy8951 Back then yeah i wouldve agreed and actually owned the PS1 port. But nowadays its better to just play the PC port.
@@grumpyguy112 yeah pretty much but compared to the PS1 version of GTA 1, then it was pretty much an improvement in every way
@@grumpyguy112 Although at least it has some better mussion design and in the second level the car crusher is close to the save point. So its a bit more fair to play.
best game ever. police chases in this are pure epicness
Miss those days!! I used to play this a lot in 2000-01..
I was in 8th grade when this game came out..classic indeed but the kids that where born in 2000 don't know how big in gaming this was and controversial at the time
Exactly!

***** I also almost forgot Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories both on the PSP and the PS2. They were fun
Awesome :)
I really really wish R* would revisit London, getting a bit tired of GTA set in the US of A.
JonasTheJay don't forget Chinatown wars
I just love hearing you talk about this game as if it was new :D
i like world of gta 2 more than any other gta games, and its what i mostly wanted them to bring back in 3d world, the Respect meter, car crushers that rewards you with weapons, near futuristic era, electro guns, coolest syndicates like Zaibatsu, SRS scientists and Yakuza, well they did bring Yakuza in Gta 3, still, this was what Gta truly meant to me and i've seen Gta becoming just generic crime simulator after another.
I grew up with this awesome game :O the soundtrack makes me cry :') so many good memories
Used to play this for windows 95
you guys have really chill voices and personalities, they're definitely fit for radio
When I was really young, a gaming magazine rated GTA2 very low. That low rating delayed my first time playing GTA for about 1-2 years. Fuck Magazine Articles and their opinions.
I can relate to that!
+ted714 Yeah, it wasn't very well reviewed but nothing was going to stop me getting this because GTA was such a big thing for me.
Puts a smile on my face ! Had so much fun on this game back in the day
Without this game we wouldn't have GTA 5
It's great watching these reviews, for they were recorded upon the ACTUAL release of the game, so you have a real/genuine opinion, compared to most younger reviewers/jaded vets, after having been exposed to 'newer' gaming titles, with modern graphics.
Those days man. I miss those days.
I miss this game! Amazing improvement from then to now :)
my favorite thing was being able to fart and burp tbh lol
Ahhh this was the first CGR review i ever saw, and the reason i subscribed
I loved this game!!!!
I can remember myself at the age of 8-9 ( now I am 21) playing this with my friends. It was huge fun back then, and i watch this video with a smile, remembering those classic games MOH, Syphon filter, GTA, CTR and others... They dont make such fun nowadays... Now

TheShadowWalker Emulators m8. A potato can emulate these games
this brings back soooo many great memories, hell, I'd still play this if given the chance.
it is free on the rockstar site
"Violent games are for introverted sociopaths."
That's a shirt waiting to happen.
i'm drooling right now, this looks like so much fun
why the fuck is this not on the playstation store ?
innit
"you are a lone shark!.. er uh, not a loan shark, but like.. you are a lone ranger!"
That had me cracking up
This is what gta looked like 15 years ago. Looks like a random game on a website.
Great review, i guess i will try to make a comparsion between ps and pc version in a next video.
still better then gta 5 haha
Damn right
Lmao nostalgia people... Smh
dragonballzkai9283 I was joking but a'ight

"All you had to do was follow the damn train, CJ!" - Smoke
"You're just a liability CJ!" - Ryder
Too all you newbies to the franchise!
"I always knew you was a straight busta'."
shutup no one cares
What are you even talking abut.
Yea man the new GTAs are nothing like the old ones. My personal favorites are
GTA 3 and GTA sanandreas.
people who dont like gta 5 are the same people who complain about everthing thats out right now
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! GTA has gotten better, not worse!
So far, this was the only Grand Theft Auto game I played, and it was back in 1999 (at age 7), some months before I ever got the original PlayStation.
gta 5 is better
no dip
no its not your mom is
Well....yeah. That one is the latest one but you can't ignore how cool 2 is
of course it is, but you can't compare that to gta 2
Get back into your crib.
I grew up with this awesome game :O the soundtrack makes me cry :') so many good memories.. In that time it was the best game evaaah
Damn the 2nd installment of a Legendary Franchise,released in 1999 (15 years ago),this was also when Driver just started.
I don't really like country that much, but in GTA 1 it is completely fitting.
Nice GTA 2! I HAD THIS! Miss it ~ nice vid
I remember this game. I also remember the day that I played it for the first time was the day a former friend kicked me out his house and told me to fuck off.
No problem! Dude! You gotta love the classics!
Jeez the tank is OP as all hell! Could use a radio though.
woooaah, I forgot about the menu-music. this made me smile just as the menu-music from the first tony hawks.
classic 90's videogame funk.
A title screen for a review of GTA2 that has flowers and classical music in the background.
Fitting.
I still wont forget going to the video store with my buddy when we were 9 or 10. We each got a game to rent and this was one of them. Many sleepless night occurred afterwords.
The gang system in GTA2 was great! When gang thrusted you, you could do missions for them & they helped you sometimes, but when they hated you they attacked you on their territory. I really loved it.
Too bad they didn't put this on GTA3 or any other GTA game
3:03 yes they are! I adore the GTA franchise. I remember playing the original two and the London disc on PS1.
I was in 8th grade when i got introduced to this game. Thanks dad for the game and PS1!
U people r awsome realy who doesn't love u people u guys make my day go back to PlayStation reviews
I would have to say the jump from gta 2 to gta 3 was def the biggest. In just around 2 years the game has basically set the standard for all the upcoming gtas after that.
oldschool youtube...luv it!
I remember playing this game with my brother back in 2001! Oh the memeries!!!
And what were your reactions to gta 3 in 2001
how epic! it takes me years back!
Good thing I got this in junior high. Everyone was expecting me to go on a shooting spree. But it was prevented!
I was excited when I picked this up on Steam, however the controller support is VERY poorly implemented.
It would actually be nice to see this updated to todays type of standards. With a map menu, that alone would do wonders in improving gameplay.
i wish that this birds eye view camera angle was available on the more newer versions of gta titles
Its last use was in Grand Theft Auto 3, for the PlayStation 2. It was an optional camera position.
My childhood... :D I remember playing this on PSX and GTA London.
Lmao the intro has Jack Branning from Eastenders
really good review
''Here's me, punching a cop. Then he gets run over.'' :D
I can't believe there weren't any Bumblebee jokes when he stole the first car!
my friend and i back in the day in high school would sign the song from the soundtrack too..."soul making, sound shakin, earth quakin..."
Best game in 1999 best graphifcs.
I remember my cousin showing me this game when i was really young and i remember thinking, awesomeness!!!!
i like the song in the beginning. Good times!
woah, an original CGR review. Epic
My first ever Playstation 1 game was Gran theft Auto 1. I had Sooooo Mutch Fun. Then This came about. It Just Blew My Thumbs
you should of done the fart and burps noises the guy does haha.. badass game brings back memories
I Love Your Channel!
1:47 "activate assassin" What is he some kind of robot? :D
Back in the late 90's, this type of game was cutting-edge and revolutionary... It's badass.
5:19 'There is me punching on a cop, than he gets run over.'
Best scene in the video!
The Intro is fucking bad-ass, dude. I always loved the intro.
makes me smile =)
remember this!
I'd go too the auto shops and load up with land mines and drop them on the sidewalk then watch the pedestrians walk over them and fly off the screen. lol Oil slicks and landmines hell yeah!!!!
GTA 2, Vice City, San Andreas and LCS r my favorite ones!!
This review was taken at the time of the game's release after all. Just re-uploaded in 2008.
yes...it defines the gaming we are all looking for...
This was SUCH a fun game!
Your on DVD! Awsom
Wish elements of GTA2 made the transition to more recent games in the Series (some for Single Player others for Online) from vehicle-based weapons (Mines, Oil Slicks, Vehicle Bombs and Machine-Guns - the latter limited to certain rare cars or as mods), futuristic / beta / other weapons (Electro-Gun, Electro Baton, Microwave, Dual Pistol), power-ups (Electro-Fingers, Invisibility, Invulnerability and Cop Bribes) and the classic Hare Krishna / Elvis Imposter pedestrians (along with the usual bonuses or perhaps make the odd group of Elvis Imposters explosive as a countermeasure against being run-over / gunned down all the time).
that feel when this game didn't run on my pc because my pc was too old
One of the best games ever made!. I wish that CGR would have showed more of the crazy music and mentioned the multiplicator system and the save system. It costs money to save but it makes sense to pay for it, because the more jobs you accomplish the higher the multiplicator gets, you can get it so high that taxi driving makes you rich and you need a certain ammount of money to beat the stage.. JESUS SAVES!
my first gta, i remeber playing it so much and then when the ps2 came out and i got gta 3 it blew my mind. thats why gta 2 and 3 are still the best in the series in my opinion.
Damn ! I played this game for like 21hours a day >< , I still got The collection discs ''gta , gta2 , gta London'' ..Great days ..
Its sad how forgotten thids game is. I played Gta 1, 2, London, 3, vice city, san andreas, and IV...
but I still own and play 2 on ps1. I just love how non linear it is, and truly wish rockstar would bring it for a Gta anniversary or somethinf
Found a glitch in this game that involves Molotov cocktails and a ramp. Long story short you could fly but only at the height of the ramp/jump you went off of. This game is really good been playing GTA series since London and the first.
I got to find this game for playstation! It's such a classic, good memories from it too.
i was playing this when i was 10, boy i had a great childhood
I remember askng my mum to get me some monster truck game for pc when I was a kid, and she spent all night on the pc trying to find it, and in the morning downloaded this and asked if it was the game. I was dissapointed when it wasn't, then I realized that this game was the fucking coolest game ever, and I played it every day for a long long time.

Memories almost cried :)
@soulheadshot I feel ya.. I'm even still playing GTA / GTA London Pack / GTA 2 on my PS3 (the games are for psx). I love the 90's so freakin much :(
I remember playing this with my friend.this game soooo much fun
I'm so glad they went for the realistic, 3D open world games they are now.
excellent game! great review!
Played the shit out of this on the Dreamcast, never really played any of the story, just used cheat codes to give all weapons and shit. Was fun as fuck. 10/10 would play again.
oh the memories i would play this game for hours
Ohh man i remember playing this with a friend and back then it was one of the most violent games out there :p
