Grand Theft Auto
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
Grand Theft Auto is a series of video games. The first was released in the late 90s which was top-down meaning it was like playing the game from a helicopter. The second was called GTA 2 and also a add-on pack was added for the first game called GTA: London which was set in the 60s.
Then came the next games which were made in 3D which changed the way Grand Theft Auto was played. The first in the 3D series was called Grand Theft Auto III which was set in Liberty City which is like New York. Then there was Grand Theft Auto: Vice City which was set in the early 80s. It was very much like Miami in Florida. The latest game in the 3D series is called Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas which is like Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas. This game was a really big improvement from the older game because the map was so much bigger.
Grand Theft Auto IV (GTA IV) was officially announced at the Microsoft 2006 E³ Press Conference on May 10, 2006. According to Microsoft, GTA IV will be launched on October 16, 2007 for the Xbox 360.
There has been much controversy over this series. Many people feel it is ultraviolent, and causes murders. Although most feel that this is not true.
