Grand Theft Auto 2
Grand Theft Auto 2
Grand Theft Auto 2, développé par DMA Design et édité par Take-Two Interactive ainsi que Rockstar Games, est sorti le 22 octobre 1999 sur PC (Microsoft Windows) et Dreamcast. Ce jeu d'action-aventure en monde ouvert, suite de Grand Theft Auto sorti en 1997, place le joueur dans la peau d'un petit criminel cherchant à s'élever dans le milieu en accomplissant des missions et en semant la terreur dans Anywhere City, la ville où se déroule l'intrigue. Classé parmi les genres tir et course, il utilise le moteur RenderWare et le système de protection SafeDisc, avec un temps de completion principal d'environ douze heures et demi et près de vingt-six heures et demie pour un parcours complet. L'agrégat de notes s'établit à 74,31.
Côté accueil, la presse a salué une suite plus vaste et plus audacieuse que l'original, tout en notant que le rendu graphique n'était pas exceptionnel mais que le gameplay pouvait occuper longtemps. Certains joueurs regrettent un manque de liberté dans la génération de revenus comparé aux opus précédents, tandis que d'autres y voient une amélioration solide ajoutant profondeur et variété, sans toutefois atteindre le potentiel que la saga démontrerait plus tard.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« One of the most controversial games for the Playstation has created a bigger, better, badder, and more f***ed up sequel. »
« Don't expect a graphical treasure but the gameplay will take take some time to complete while raising a few smiles on the way. »
« Bangin' drum and bass kicks out of the stolen sports cars super woofers as you prowl the streets for criminal action. Climb behind the furry wheel of a pick-up truck and it's good ole' hillbilly rock. This game knows how to use music and it shows it big time. »
« A brilliant delight, offering gruesome pleasure in a new kind of way. Though it is rooted within the original's origins, it offers up a new dimension of gaming that can be appreciated by those looking for something different. »
« I hate to use this cliché, but if you liked the first one.... etc. Just be aware that this game falls into the 'controller-throwing' realm of difficulty and frustration. But it also falls into the 'turning it back on 5 minutes later' realm of addictiveness. »
« Compared to its special effects pushing brother on the PC, Grand Theft Auto 2 on the PlayStation looks rather tame. »
« Those turned off by the awkward controls and odd viewpoint won't like this one either but it's the only game where you can be this bad. Too bad that experience wears tiredly. »
« It's disappointing that some of the bloodshed from the first GTA has been toned down in Grand Theft Auto 2. There's no pleasant way to detail this: In the first game, dead policemen, gangsters and pedestrians decomposed. Lying on the pavement, they bled, made a big mess and later disappeared. Granted, the process was a little too quick to be realistic, but there was just something wonderful about revving up your Corvette with its back wheels planted on some poor sap's corpse, then spinning out with a trail of blood matching your tire tracks. Gross? Yes. Sick? Maybe. Fun? Definitely. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« Worst gta of all time, lack of freedom of making money comparing to gta1 and london, you can make real money by only completing horrible missions in this game. Gta 1 hundred times better as an arcade game than this pos »
« Una mejora sólida sobre el original que añade profundidad y variedad, pero que todavía no alcanza el potencial de la saga mostraría en el futuro. Sistema de bandas innovador. Más profundidad que el GTA original. Misiones mejor diseñadas. Mundo más dinámico. Puntos débiles: Viste cenital limitada. Controles algo incómodos. Falta de historia fuerte. Envejeció bastante »
« GTA 2 (8.0/10) delivers a gritty, fast-paced top-down crime sandbox that still feels surprisingly addictive. Its gang reputation system adds a clever layer of strategy, forcing you to think before causing chaos. While the visuals and controls show their age, the freedom, dark humor, and variety of missions keep things engaging. It lacks the narrative depth of later entries, but its arcade-style gameplay and replayability make it a classic worth revisiting. »
« My Review – Grand Theft Auto 2 – 7/10 I gave Grand Theft Auto 2 a 7 out of 10 because, while it builds on the original game’s open-world chaos and freedom, it doesn’t quite feel as groundbreaking as the first one. The top-down view and gameplay are still fun, and it’s enjoyable to cause chaos and complete missions, but the world feels a bit more repetitive, and the missions don’t vary enough to keep things fresh for long. The controls are slightly improved, but it still has that clunky feel compared to modern games, and the story isn’t very engaging. Despite that, there’s still a lot of fun to be had experimenting with the game’s systems and exploring its quirky world. This is why Grand Theft Auto 2 is a 7 out of 10. »
« The introduction of factions provides an interesting twist even if this sequel does largely tread the same ground as the original. »
« It was a disappointment for me after first Grand Theft Auto. It was nearly the same like first game, but less fun and less playable. »
« The game is like an improved version of the first part. I was a little confused by how Claude appears in GTA 2 and 3, but that's not the point. The game is similar to the first part but with a few new additions and that's it. »
« Bastante mejor en relación a la primera entrega, aún así, sigue siendo un juego con malos controles y pésima cámara. »
