The Greatest Game of All Time - Grand Theft Auto
What seems to be the most controversial is also the greatest game of all time. What’s not to complain about stealing cars, shooting people, sleeping with the boss’ wife and treason? The Trilogies of Grand Theft Auto, all playable in PS2, is by far the best games on PS 2 ever!
Some even said GTA laid the path for for future games to follow. And I shall concur. Gone are the days when villains are computers and the good guys are us anymore. It’s cool to be the bad guy and sometimes it’s touching too. Just like in the Godfather, what’s the pride is killing people and dealing with illegal drugs and weapons? Well, not something noble but human nonetheless.
Of course, GTAIII generated plenty of controversy when it was first released. After all, a game that lets you pick up a hooker, have sex with her, and then rob and murder her is going to raise a few eyebrows. What you have to understand about the game is that it’s not the senseless violence and mature themes that made it fun–violent games have existed for years. What made Grand Theft Auto III fun was the way it was so cleverly designed to keep you entertained despite a relative lack of structure. Essentially, GTAIII gave you the freedom to entertain yourself, which in this case proved much more effective than holding your hand and dragging you through a rigidly organized series of challenges. Grand Theft Auto III defied all expectations of what a video game must be and delivered a gameplay experience unlike any other. And for that, it’s without a doubt one of the greatest games of all time.
